    2. A set of sturdy stainless-steel pumpkin carving tools for being ~a cut above~ the cheap plastic ones so you can carve out intricate jack-o'-lanterns without getting spooked by *bended blades.*

    3. And a two-pack of palm-sized LED pumpkin lights that'll look like real flickering candles without having to worry about flames. Plus, little ghosts and goblins will love being able to turn them on and off remotely!

    4. A soothing shampoo scalp massager to exfoliate your tiny human's scalp so they don't have to suffer all the itchy, flaky dryness that tends to rears its ugly *head* as the days get colder.

    5. An organic beeswax lip balm made with coconut oil and shea, mango and cocoa butters to alleviate dry lips. Plus, they come in scrumptious fall flavors (like pumpkin spice latte and caramel apple) *AND* in compostable packaging that won't end up in the landfill.

    6. And a lip repair night treatment that'll work intensely to heal chapped, cracked, and bleeding lips tormented by cold weather before you can even think, "those lips need some serious TLC."

    7. A sunrise simulation alarm clock for anyone whose toddler or teen finds it *physically impossible* to get out of bed now that later sunrises are causing dark, dreary days outside. This clock will wake them up with gradual lighting and zen nature sounds instead of jarring them out of sleep.

    8. A pack of marshmallow-roasting sticks because does anything scream fall like ooey-gooey s'mores over a campfire on chilly nights? These skewers conveniently telescope out to a longer length — keeping little fingers socially distanced from the fire pit.

    9. A Totes kid's umbrella that'll keep kiddos completely covered during outdoor adventures thanks to it's ~dome-like shape~ *and* also let them see raindrops that keep falling on their head through the clear plastic. It has thousands of 5-star reviews for a reason!

    10. And a pair of waterproof rubber boots with handles to keep munchkins dry as they gleefully jump up and down in muddy puddles. Cue Peppa Pig singing, Splish, splash, splosh, splish, splash.

    11. A *cute as can be* cloud humidifier to mist away allergies that run rampant during this season. It also doubles as a night-light to add a bit of whimsy to your kid's room.

    12. And Frida Baby vapor drops made with organic eucalyptus and lavender essential oils because autumn has arrived and so have the sniffles. Plop in your bath or humidifier to relieve congestion. ~Instant relief for them and for you.~

    13. An ingenious Vaseline moisturizer spray that'll help you do the *bare minimum* to ensure your kiddo's legs receive a burst of moisture ASAP after every shower to prevent alligator skin during the fall and winter.

    14. A plush sherpa baby blanket because reviewers say unlike the blankets you'll find in stores, this one doesn't pill or lose it's softness after several washes. Perfect for snuggling with your bubba when temps to start to dip.

    15. A Thermos Funtainer vacuum insulated food jar with 25,000 5-star reviews (!!!) if the kids have been complaining nonstop about cold lunches (aka PB&J). Now you can spice up their school day with chicken noodle soup or ravioli. Mamma mia!

    16. A pack of fall leaf window clings so you can delegate seasonal decorating to the kids. It's not only an easy boredom buster when they're going stir crazy indoors, but will also add ~all the fall feels~ to your home when it's gloomy as heck outside. Win-win.

    17. And a lighted garland of fall leaves that'll make adding a warm, festive touch to a kid's room almost too easy. Just hang on a bed, wall or shelf and — boom! — you're done.

    18. A pumpkin chai-scented Poo-Pourri toilet spray if — despite your best efforts — you can't get rid of that funky smell that ALWAYS emanates from the kids' bathroom. This will help neutralize the situation in the most autumnal way possible, tbh.

    19. A pack of fuzzy socks with grips on the bottom to keep tiny toes cozy *and* prevent falls while playing hide and seek.

    20. And for little bubs, a pair of fleece booties that'll do a marvelous job of staying on and keeping their feet toasty all winter long. The best part? The grippy bottoms will ensure they don't go slipping and sliding on hardwood floors.

    21. A color-your-own-castle playhouse to fill a rainy day with creative shenanigans. An ideal solution for parents who don't wanna listen to cries of "I'm bored" 500 times, while stuck inside with the kiddos.

    22. Aveeno Baby eczema therapy balm with such serious healing powers 7,000 people felt compelled to give it a 5-star review: This stuff works wonders on skin prone to dry patches and flareups in the colder months.
