1. A pair of corduroy pillow covers because fall = couch season and these babies not only make your go-to seating choice cozier, but more festive, too.
Heads up: this listing is only for the pillow *covers*. If you need inserts, too, you can get 'em here!
Promising review: "I bought two packs so I could cover four pillows. It is so much cheaper than buying new pillows every time you want to update your colors. These are a beautiful orange color forĀ fallĀ and everyone thinks they are brand new cushions. Little tip: buy the cover that is just under the actual pillow dimensions so you have a fuller cushion. My cushions measure 18 x 18 inches and I bought the 16 x 16 covers. I had to fold them in half to place them inside the covers and then once zipped I fussed with the cushion as opposed to trying to force them in and risking ripping the zipper. It worked perfectly! The texture is really nice, too, almost like fleece but much thicker. Overall, love these and will buy more colors for different seasons for sure." āD. Taylor
Get the set from Amazon for $12.99+Ā (available in seven sizes and 25 colors).Ā
2. A cheery wreath that says, "Why yes, fall is my favorite season!!" but doesn't give off any of the desperation you felt while patiently waiting the six months until it was "appropriate" to hang it.
If this isn't the exact design you had in mind, A Wreath of Annie ā a Minnesota-based small biz ā has 40+ handmade decorative wreaths to choose from, so give the rest of the shop a look!
Promising review: "This is the prettiest thing! I told my friend if my house was on fire itās the one possession I would grab. Itās stunning. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!" āHeather Corayer Linders
Get it fromĀ A Wreath of Annie on Etsy for $89+ (available in six sizes).
3. AĀ MASSIVE 10-foot-by-10-foot throw you and all of your closest friends can cuddle up under when you gather for your annual Friday night Gilmore Girls watch parties.Ā
If you're having a hard time imaginingĀ just how big "big" is ā this blanket is four times the size of your average throw! And ā because this small biz truly gets marketing ā that's 7'4" NBA player Boban Marjanovic modeling the grey blanket above.Ā
Promising review: "This is such a great blanket! It is so soft and big that no one is stealing the covers no matter how wrapped up in the blanket they are. Absolutely perfect for couples!" āAndrew N.
Get it from Amazon or Big Blanket Co. for $159Ā (available in 14 'favorite' colors and 7 limited edition colors).Ā
4. A baroque-inspired mirror with a gilded frame if your aesthetic could best be described as Haunted Mansion-esque.
Promising review: "I hopped on the gold ornate mirror trend and spent a long time trying to find one within my budget. I was worried at first because there werenāt any reviews when I first bought this. It looked amazing online and was the perfect size so I went ahead and got it. I am THRILLED with this purchase!!! One of the best things Iāve gotten from Amazon. Itās beautiful and exactly how it looks in the pics. It came four-ish days faster than estimated. Itās perfect for my makeup desk. If there were different sizes of the same mirror I would buy all of them." āMcKinlee Mayer
Get it from Amazon for $120.63+ (available in three sizes and four finishes).
5. A pumpkin-shaped bourbon-scented candle if you can always use more gourd-inspired decor but *do* already have about 100 PSL-scented wax melts, plug-ins, and candles.
Promising review: "Love the scent! Not too strong or too sweet smelling. The container is also beautiful; love the color of it and canāt wait to use it once Iām done with the candle. I'll keep candy or snacks in it this fall!" āthetargetcollective
Get it from Target for $5+Ā (available in two sizes).Ā
6. Or a hot cider reed diffuser for those who've had some ~spooky~ experiences with candles. Incredible scent + no open flame? Sign me up!

Get it from Sweet Water Decor on Amazon for $28.Ā (also available in Sweater Weather, Pumpkin Spice, and Warm and Cozy.)
7. SomeĀ maple leaf string lights if you love the look of the outdoors but don't actually enjoy spending a whole lot of time outside.
Promising review: "One of my favorite things about this product is that it's battery operated, making it easier to put anywhere you'd like! I was afraid that the leaves would look too fake, but I'm impressed. I can't wait to leave them out all season! The only thing I don't like about them is the light flickering option. It's a little distracting, but I want to keep them completely on anyway. If you're on the fence about getting these, I hope you decide on yes! Happy fall, y'all!" āLindsey Tedford
Get them from Amazon for $5.99+Ā (available in two styles).
8. A linen duvet cover that delivers a low-fuss, lived-in look and all-season comfort so you don't have to change it out when fall is over.Ā
I got this duvet cover about two years ago now ā from luxe Aussie linen brand Bed Threads ā and I instantly fell in love. It was my first foray into linen and you can bet I didn't stop there. The duvet cover is thick but breathable and just looks so, so chic even when it's crumpled up (I sleep burrito style).
Promising review: "The best linens Iāve ever owned; Iāll never sell myself short on bedding again. Iām crazy about my sleep and I sleep so good with this bedding. Worth the price 100%." āShelby R.
Get it from Bed Threads for $170+ (available in sizes TwināCal King and in 21 colors/patterns; pillowcases sold separately).
9. And someĀ flannel, 100% cotton Casper sheetsĀ which ā like the My Little Pony you cherished in elementary school ā have been brushed SO many times, they're buttery š§ soft to the touch.
These are some of my current *FAVE* sheets. If you're thinking "huh, flannel? Isn't that for winter?" I thought the same but these are actually quite cool and suitable for year-round use. My absoluteĀ favorite feature is the thick, elastic pocket reinforcements which keep the fitted sheet nice and tight ā a must since my Queen-size bed is split between myself, my BF, and two cats who bop between the head and foot of the bed all night long. These. sheets. do. not. move. They've never once popped off!!!
Promising review: "These sheets feel like home! So comfortable that they are the only sheets I want to use. My SO usually sweats in his sleep and he hasnāt in these, so they are very breathable. I feel like you can use these any season. They feel like your favorite T-shirt!" āJulia
Get them from Casper for $54.50+ (originally $109+; available in sizes TwināCal King and in five colors).Ā
10. A set of reactive glazed bowlsĀ for all the soups you plan to indulge in the second temperatures dip below 80 degrees (and finally STAY under 80 degrees).
Promising review: "These are our favorite go-to bowls. I bought two to try and my daughter and I would race to use these first so I bought one in the cream color to see which I liked best. Both colors are lovely. I will buy more to round out the set. High quality. Hasnāt chipped. Washes well in the dish washer and can be microwaved. Great basic colors that go with other sets." āDearCara
Get a set of four from Target for $19.99.
11. SomeĀ fairy lights sure to instantly zhuzh up any space be it an empty windowsill, barren entertainment center, or the top of your dresser because it gets hella dark in your room at night and despite the fact that you're almost 30 that still spooks you.
Promising review: "These lights are super bright and work great in my fall lantern. Will definitely order again for Christmas decorations." āPatricia D. Sullivan
Get them from Amazon for $7.99+Ā (available in four sizes and nine colors).
12. A pack of round placemats that will not only catch crumbs, but lots of enamored glances when layered beneath your finest dishware and cloth napkins. It doesn't matter if you eat off of a folding tray table in front of your TV every night ā these will at least add a lil' flair.
Promising review: "I was looking for a set of placemats to match aĀ fall-themed table runner. This beige was perfect! There is the slightest gold thread that twinkles and brings a bit of elegance for holiday meals. These placemats have also transitioned to my winter dĆ©cor with the mix of cream, beige, and gold! These mats are durable and protect my table as well as easy to clean and elegant to boot!" āJim Angel
Get them from Amazon for $13.98+ (available in sets of four, six, or eight and in 45 colors).
13. A luscious velvet duvet coverĀ (with matching shams) you can wrap up in like the beautiful caterpillar you are because last I checked, it's already September ā AKA prime hibernation time.
Promising review: "I love the way this feels. It's so luxurious and does not make me feel overheated. Seriously one of the best purchases I've made on Amazon to date. My husband can pry my King-size duvet out of my cold, deceased fingers. Not sharing this." āKelsy Smith
Get it from Amazon for $55.99+ (available in Queen and King sizes and in eight colors).
14. A pack of 350 (!) window clings so you can transform your space even (or especially ā I should say) if you live somewhere that doesn't experience the four seasons.
Promising review: "I absolutely love these window clings!!! They make my space look very festive. The clings were easy to peel off the backing, unlike some other window clings. There are also a nice variety of colors, too! I will buy another set to have for other windows." āHappy Wife
Get the 350-piece set from Amazon for $6.99.Ā
15. A dramatic matte-black vaseĀ that I'm sure Morticia Addams would gladly arrange her headless roses in ā though pampas grass or a dried bouquet would look just as good.Ā
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+Ā (available in three sizes).
16. AĀ set of velvet curtains ready to be dramatically drawn at night and then ripped open in the morning to let in the fresh autumnal air.
Promising review: "I am thoroughly and I mean thoroughly happy that I bought these curtains! I bought three sets (two panels each) for three windows in the living room. I bought the 108" as I have floor-to-ceiling windows. they just look absolutely amazing with my dark walls. Yes, out of the package there were some wrinkles, but that is to be expected because it's a velvet fabric. The fabric is absolutely amazing ā it's good quality, none of the stitching was loose or torn or anything like that, and all of the grommets were set exactly as they should be. If you're even remotely thinking about spending money on curtains... BUY THESE. ...SERIOUSLY... BUY THEM..." āLexus Cherry
Get a set of two from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in six sizes and 15 colors).

22. A dried and preserved eucalyptus bundle if you simply can't be trusted to take care of anything living. For once, you won't dread a "crispy" bouquet!
Promising review: "The flowers arrived in perfect condition and looked just like the pictures. I only bought one bunch but they nicely fit my vase which has a 6-inch opening. They were easy to arrange and didnāt break. Iāve been displaying them for several weeks and they havenāt shed at all." āSusan L.
Get it from Afloral for $14.95 (originally $28).
23. A hand-knit chunky chenille pumpkinĀ should your barren bookshelf be in need of some seasonal je ne sais quoi.

25. A delicious farmhouse streusel-scented soy candle ā in a rustic galvanized tin ā you can sniff, sniff, sniff until your partner says, "Hey, I thought you said you were ready to go to dinner??"
Anchored NorthwestĀ is a Spokane, Washingtonābased small biz.Ā
Promising review: "The Farmhouse Streusel scent is divine. Smells of REAL apples and cinnamon. The scent is softer than I like, not much throw for the candle or wax melt but when you get up close and take a sniff the smell is perfection. No artificial smells at all. Would like to see this scent only amplified. Love the packaging. Would repurchase this scent. Already placed my second order with this company to try out other scents. So far the candle is burning longer than I thought it would for size. Actually on par or even lasting longer than the three-wick candles from the big-box store. Love the soy and wood wick." āCarrie Webster
Get it from Amazon orĀ Anchored Northwest on Etsy forĀ $22.50.
26. A fluted tealight/tapered candle holder in a rust shade that's exceptionally fall appropriate but also wouldn't be out of place the rest of the year.
Promising review: "The fact that these are reversible (tea light candles fit on one side and taper candles on the other side) alone made me buy them. I've never seen anything like these before. I have several on my dining table and love that I can dress up my table by turning them over with taper candles, or set mood lighting with tea lights. I did expect them to be just a tad bigger, but no biggie. They're great quality and beautiful!" āH&M Reviewer
Get it from H&M for $5.99Ā (available in four colors).
27. A furry ottoman that you'll no doubt pet as if it's your dog. It's seriously that soft.
Promising review: "Really nice. The softest ottoman Iāve had. The orange is very nice and exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately the cat has claimed it as his own. Unexpected bonus? Getting the hair off this is easier than any of my other furniture." āAnonymous
Get it from Wayfair for $56.99Ā (originally $59.99; available in 51 colors).
28. A pillow-top mattress padĀ you can sink into like you're in a slo-mo mattress commercial. Just don't go trying to balance a glass of mulled wine on it, OK?
The breathable, deep-pocket topper hugs your mattress like a fitted sheet, so you don't have to worry about it popping off in the middle of the night. Plus ā major plus ā it's machine washable, so you don't have to drag it to the dry cleaners.
Promising review: "Whoaaa this thing is amazing. I have a very expensive, firm mattress, that I bought when I was younger. The mattress is still in good shape so I didnāt want to get rid of it. The firm thing just wasnāt working for me anymore. I had a foam mat but it still was too hard. So I got this, put this over the foam mat and itās like a new mattress. I slept like a rock last night. Havenāt slept that good in a long time. I also like that itās attached to the mattress pad, so itās not sliding al over. It slept very cool, Iām assuming thatās because is cotton. Highly recommend if youāre looking to fix a mattress and not have to spend money on a new one." āJulie
Get it from Amazon for $71.99+ (available in sizes TwināCalifornia King and in two colors).
29. AĀ hanging leaves shower curtainĀ if your bathroom could use a lil' pizzazz ā especially to distract from the fact that you could comfortably use the toilet/wash your hands/shower all at once.
30. And aĀ 6-foot-long pumpkin, pinecone, and eucalyptus garlandĀ that you can drape over your entertainment stand or mantle in a way that's both v stylish but also hides the TV cables you can. not. stand.
Me happily sending summer packing so I can enjoy fall drinks, layering, and pumpkin picking:
