Twenty Little Pumpkins,
Swaying on One Stake
A tall stake topped with a spray of thin drooping branches, and hanging off every branch tip is a small glowing jack-o'-lantern. About twenty per stake. The branches move in the wind, so the whole thing drifts rather than sitting still.

It moves, and that is what makes people look twice
Every pumpkin hangs off its own thin branch, so the smallest bit of wind sets the whole spray drifting and the light shifts with it. A static decoration reads as an object. This one reads as something happening.
One stake does the work of a whole string
Twenty points of light at head height, from a single thing you pushed into the soil.
Twenty lights, one stake
The spray fans out into a canopy of thin branches, each ending in its own little pumpkin. You get the density of a string of lights without stringing anything, and it stands up at eye level instead of lying along the ground.
Nothing to plug in, nothing to charge
The small panel sits in the middle of the spray. Four to six hours of decent sun gives you roughly eight to twelve hours of light, so it charges through the day and runs all evening on its own.
The movement is the point
The branches are light and springy, so they bob and turn in any breeze and the pumpkins swing with them. From the sidewalk it looks alive rather than installed.
Each pumpkin is properly moulded
They are small — a bit over an inch across, roughly a large marble — but each one has a real carved face moulded into it and lights from the inside, so up close they hold up rather than turning into plain orange blobs.
Any breeze at all sets it going
This is the shot that explains the product. The branches are thin enough that they never really stand still, and the light moves with them.
- Springy wire branches, not rigid arms
- Pumpkins hang and turn independently
- Reads as motion from across the street
Charges itself, lights itself
The panel sits in the middle of the spray where it can see the sky. Four to six hours of good sun runs it for roughly eight to twelve hours, so you are never walking out to a switch in the cold.
- 4–6 hours of sun for 8–12 hours of light
- Comes on at dusk with no timer to set
- A deeply shaded spot gives you a shorter night
Small, but not cheap-looking
Each pumpkin is a little over an inch across with the face moulded in rather than printed on. It is the kind of detail nobody notices from the street and everybody notices on the porch.
- Roughly 1.4 in tall, 1.6 in across
- Carved face moulded into each shell
- About twenty on every stake
Push it in, and that is the job done
Find a spot with sky above it
A flower bed, the edge of a lawn, a large planter. The panel needs daylight, so skip the deep shade right against the house.
Push the stake in and fan the branches out
They travel folded in, so spend a minute bending them out into an even spray. They hold whatever shape you give them.
Leave it alone
It charges all day and lights up on its own at dusk, every evening, for the rest of the season.
One is pretty. Four is a display.
A single stake in a bed by the door looks lovely on its own. Four spread across the front garden at the same height is a different thing entirely — eighty little pumpkins moving at once, which is what actually makes a car slow down.
What buyers say
“The movement is the whole thing. All the little pumpkins hang off their own branch so the entire spray drifts whenever there is any breeze — from the street it reads as something alive rather than a light stuck in a flowerbed.”
“Bought four and spaced them through the front bed. Pushed straight into the soil, no assembly, and they were lit that same evening. Far more impact than the same money spent on another string of lights.”
“Lovely thing and much bigger than I pictured — comes up to about my hip. The branches are bendable wire so mine arrived a bit squashed in the box and I had to spend a minute fanning them out into shape. Fine once done.”
If it is not what you pictured
Get in touch and we will sort it out. We would far rather fix a stake that turned up wrong than have it sitting in a box in your garage.
Before you order
One whole stake — the pole, the branches and all twenty or so pumpkins on it. So 4 Stakes is four complete stakes, not four pumpkins. This is the thing people most often get wrong before ordering, so it is worth being clear.
Roughly waist height on most adults, with the spray of branches spreading out near the top. It stands well above a flower bed rather than sitting down in it.
It is solar. The small panel sits in the middle of the branch spray and charges from daylight, so there is no plug, no cord and no batteries to buy.
Four to six hours of decent sun gives you roughly eight to twelve hours of light, so a good day will carry it through the evening and well beyond. A run of grey days or a shaded spot gives you less.
Yes, and it is the main reason to buy it. They are springy wire, so any real breeze sets the whole spray drifting and the pumpkins swinging. On a completely still night it simply sits there and glows, which is also fine.
It is made for outdoor use through the autumn — rain and wind are what it is for. Most people bring it in once the season is over. The branches fold back down for storage.
Effectively, yes. It arrives with the branches folded in for shipping, so the only job is pushing the stake into the ground and bending the branches out into an even spray. That takes about a minute.
