Autumn is coming. That means it’s time to make the house look and feel cozy with pumpkins, gourds, scarecrows, and fall-themed throw pillows, porch signs, door signs, and wall signs. You might even throw a few spooky decorations in the mix as well.
At Aldi, reversible signs for all seasons are having a moment. Every time I turn around, it seems the discount grocery store is stocking a reversible hanging wall sign or a reversible mantel sign for all of the different seasons in the year. We spot Christmas-themed signs during the winter holidays and spring-themed signs around St. Patrick’s Day and Easter.
Of course, fall is perhaps the prime season for cute signs with witty words or autumn-related sayings. Aldi never disappoints, and this week they sold reversible mantel signs. While I don’t have a mantel, I do have a new-ish hall tree with a shelf on top that is perfect for displaying seasonal décor. So I sorted through the boxes of various sign designs at my local Aldi and picked out a sign to bring home.
I opted for one a rich orange-colored sign that says Autumn Market: Pumpkins, Hayrides, Apple Cider on one side. The other side says “Welcome” in a flowing script and features a three-dimensional sunflower image where the letter “o” is located. I purposely selected a sign that had a more neutral design on one side so I can use it all year.

The Huntington Home Fall Reversible Mantel Sign (Product Code: 707213) cost $7.99 at the time of publication.
This is an Aldi Find, so it’s only in stores for a short time. Each store gets just one shipment of these signs, and after they sell out, they’re gone unless Aldi decides to bring them back next fall. Aldi does not offer online ordering for products that are not in stock at your local store.

This sign looks nice and feels sturdy enough for its purpose. When standing on a mantel or shelf with a wall at the back, this is unlikely to fall over. At just over one foot wide and 7 inches tall, it’s smaller than what I expected when I first saw these signs in the weekly Aldi ad, so if you have a large mantel or other space to decorate, you might want some other items to go with this sign.
Overall, though, it’s a nice-looking sign, and the affordable price means it’s easy to keep up with decorating trends without breaking the budget.

Its low price tag means it’s easy to decorate for fall without spooking your bank account. If you’re looking for an inexpensive way to keep up with decorating trends, this is your sign.
