As temperatures begin to cool and we put the heating on for most of the day to ward of those chilly autumn/winter nights, it's time to start thinking about the holiday season.
Yes, in just one week Halloween will be upon us and from there it's a short hop, skip and a jump to Christmas itself.
It's hard to believe that we're already closing in on November in this strangest of all years, but if you want to get ahead and organized with your festive prep this year then brands are well and truly jockeying for position in the crowded Christmas product market.
One mom has put her Christmas decorations up three months early this year in a bid to spread some festive cheer:Already this year we've brought you news of an Elf-themed version of Monopoly, Hocus Pocus wine for Halloween and many more novelty products besides.
But if you're still looking for the perfect buy to whet your appetite, then look no further than this offering from Costco: a variety pack of mini Patrón bottles that will make the most amazing gift this festive season - whether you're giving them to someone else or simply treating yourself!
The bottles were spotted by popular Instagram page @CostcoSisters, who captioned an image of the product, "Life is better with tequila!?We love these little itty bitty @patron bottles! ? It comes with four different flavors and 8 bottles!
$30 (?Northridge & Pacoima) "
And if the comments section of the post is anything to go by, people are extremely enamored by the idea of a mini variety pack of tequila. Plenty of people were tagging their friends expressing their wish to get the variety pack for Christmas this year - so if you have a friend who simply loves tequila then this could be the answer for your gift-buying.
In related news, the immensely popular Costco wine advent calendar has also returned for another year.
