1. A rechargeable electric lighter so you never have to worry about finding matches (or burning yourself with said matches) whenever you want to light your favorite fall candle.
BuzzFeed Shopping team member Heather Braga loves this! Here's what she has to say: "I'm obsessed with candles, so it was a no-brainer for my husband to gift me this surprisingly super fun gadget for Christmas. It's really simple to use and charge, and it really works! If you're someone who gets a thrill from RAW POWER this is sort of the product for you. No, it's not a super intense gadget, relax pyromaniacs, but it does buzz and produce a burst of electricity that I personally find exciting. AND I'll never have to buy another lighter again! Stop burning your fingers on matches and pick up one of these bad boys."
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three colors).

2. An extra-large silicone ice tray perfect for freezing large amounts of soup or broth for you to eat later. It's a genius food-saving hack if you're only cooking for one or two people but the soup recipe makes enough to feed a small village.
Each tray makes four 1 cup or 250 mL cubes.
Promising review: "I have not bought broth since I got this ice tray! This tray is perfectly portioned and the cubes are easy to remove. Another issue I used to have is not being able to use up the homemade broth fast enough before it went bad. The tray eliminates all these issues and I am very happy I bought it. It's worth the seemingly somewhat high price as it will save you money in the long run and you are able to re-purpose vegetable scraps and chicken bones by making your own broth." —Marley

3. A pair of super-sturdy, high-quality Chelsea boots everyone should own a pair of. You'll instantly realize how smart of a purchase you made when you discover these can go with literally any outfit — and will hold up during all the fall activities you wear them to this fall.
Promising review: "After a lot of worry about getting the right fit, I took the advice given by the reviewers and the company and ordered a half size larger. They fit great! The leather is beautiful. They smell really good. They look very suave and debonair. I’m sitting on the sofa watching TV because I don’t want to take them off. I debated a long time and worried a lot about buying these boots because of some of the negative reviews, but I’m glad I went with the majority of reviews. They were not too narrow and fit comfortably. They also were not too long. They are the look that I was going for. A dressier look than my normal work boots that I bum around in. I’m very happy with these classy boots!!" —CMaxDavis
Get them from Amazon for $160 (available in women's sizes 5–11 and in eight colors).
4. Or these waterproof Chelsea boots if you don't love the clunky design of a traditional rain boot but still want protection against rainy conditions this fall — but in a fashionable way of course. Now you don't have to rework your whole outfit just because it might sprinkle later!
Promising review: "I go to school in Santa Cruz and it rains a lot over here so I thought I should invest in some stylish rain boots. These are perfect because they aren't too clunky and obnoxious but they are able to keep warmth in and rain out. I also love how trendy they are because I don't feel like I'm wearing two traffic cones on my feet." —Tara Mashkory
Get them from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sizes 5–11 and in 11 colors)
5. This sweater pill remover for your most well-loved sweaters that have seen better days. Just lightly brush this stone across your sweater and watch all those unsightly pills disappear — it'll look brand new!
This is made from upcycled car windshield glass. Make sure to store this stone in its original box, and it can last you up to 10 years!

Get it from Celsious for $17.

6. An Instant Pot aka the true MVP of any kitchen. This 7-in-1 kitchen gadget acts as a rice cooker, pressure cooker, slow cooker, steamer, yogurt maker, warmer, and you can sauté in it. If you're craving a perfect autumnal stew, this will help you whip it up in record time!
This handy kitchen gadget has seven functions: rice cooker, pressure cooker, slow cooker, steamer, sauté, yogurt maker, and warmer!
Promising review: "I love my Instant Pot. I own a traditional pressure cooker that I rarely used because I felt like I need to constantly watch it, so I was reluctant to invest in an Instant Pot. I am so glad I did. I have used it at least twice a week since I bought it and sometimes three or four times. I have done everything from cook hard-boiled eggs, cook ribs, to bake a cheesecake. I almost never use my other slower cooker, because I can brown meat right in the Instant Pot and use the slow cooker setting. My most used accessories are the steamer basket ($20.09), springform pan ($9.99), extra liner ($24.95) and extra sealing ring ($8.95). The least used is the hard boiled egg steamer rack ($18.56; the steamer basket holds a lot more and is easier to use). If my Instant Pot died tomorrow, I would feel certain that I had more than gotten my money's worth and immediately buy another." —mickey
Get it from Amazon for $69+ (available in three sizes).
7. A rubber squeegee brush — with dogs spending more time indoors with the temperatures dropping, you're bound to get more dog hair around your house, and this is capable of lifting up so much pet hair you didn't even know was trapped within your carpet.
Reviewers suggest using short, quick strokes over your carpet or rug to get the most pet hair out. This broom also works great for collecting pet hair on hardwood floors as the rubber bristles work like a magnet to gather all the hair in one big clump.
Promising review: "So of course I saw this product on TikTok...and added it to the list of things that TikTok made me buy. But I'm very glad that I did. I have a Siberian husky who sheds a LOT...and in all seasons. I use this on my carpet before vacuuming and it loosens up the hair so easily that my vacuum never got. I never realized I had that much dog hair caked into my carpet until I used this!" —Alyssa Frey
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
8. A highly effective Bio-Oil that works wonders to help fade scars (both old and new ones) and moisturize your skin without clogging your pores. That means once the summer humidity disappears and the air gets drier, this will help you ensure your skin doesn't get dried out, too.
Promising review: "Acne scars? Read this. I found out about this product while scrolling through TikTok last week. It came highly recommended, so I decided to look up the price on Amazon. After reading several reviews, I figured I might as well try it out. Today is the fourth day I use the product on my face. My skin looks dewy and nice. The discoloration on my cheeks from a few years old acne scars is improving. My skin looks younger — it’s hard to describe, but I can see a difference. It looks less rough. I’ve been using it morning and night." —Yasmin Rodriguez
Get it from Amazon for $8.92+ (available in three sizes).
9. An open cardigan you're going to want to buy a few of so you're never without a warm layer when a cool fall breeze hits you. Plus — just look how cozy this thing is!
10. An under-door seal to prevent any drafts from leaking into your bedroom and making you chilly on autumn nights. You don't want your radiator working overtime (and wasting you money!!)
Promising review: "I bought this product after my glass front door was replaced and there was a rather large gap at the bottom of the door where the door meets the floor. I at first thought I was going to have to get the door replaced but then a friend of mine told me about this product. You have no idea how much time and money this item has saved me. It has done a fantastic job of both keeping bugs out of the house as well as providing a seal to keep air out the house as well. I like to keep my wood door open during the day and just use my glass door and I am able to do this now because of this. It was also super easy to install and the black color that I purchased is invisible due to the fact that the bottom of my door is also black. Very happy with this product." —Kim
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four colors).
11. A pair of waterproof Columbia hiking boots so you can embrace your outdoorsy side this fall and go on some nature hikes to get an up-close view of all those changing leaves. They have great support so you don't have to worry about rolling an ankle.
I've owned these hiking boots for the past three years and I absolutely love them! They do a great job at keeping my feet protected and supported during hikes, and I love that I don't have to worry about it raining or being soggy on the trail thanks to the waterproofness. Lastly, I love that they're not too heavy or bulky — if you're already climbing up a mountain, the last thing you need is extra weight on your feet!
Promising review: "I needed a waterproof boot that would also be good for lots of walking. I did a lot of walking in Ireland and Scotland, mostly in rainy weather, and these boots were true to their description. My feet were dry and comfortable." —Louise M.
Get them from Amazon for $62.60+ (available in women's sizes 5–12, two widths, and eight colors).
12. A productivity time management tool if your fall to-do list is seriously overwhelming you and you need some help blocking off dedicated time to focus and get your task done. With back-to-school season in full swing, this will be a lifesaver.
This is a great tool to help you practice the Pomodoro technique, which is a time management tool. Basically, you work in 25-minute chunks of time and then break for five minutes. After four rounds of this, you take a longer break for 15-20 minutes. Lots of people swear by this for improved productivity!
Promising review: "This visual timer has been a blessing for setting time boundaries for my toddler AND myself! I. Love. This. Saw a suggestion for it on Tiktok, and knew I needed it for myself and my child. It's so easy to set and easy to see. I use it to set boundaries for my three-year-old, like 20 minutes to bedtime, 15 minutes until we leave, 20 minutes left of TV time, etc. He loves setting the timer, can tell how many minutes he has left, and it's ended almost all the fights for transitions.
And I've started using it for myself, for the suggestion I saw on TikTok, to set a timer for the things I disliked doing, or that I've been unable to devote focused time to. With this timer I'm taking little bites out of issues that plague me, and I'm allowing myself to accept that if the 15 minutes I put into it today isn't enough, it's OK because I have 15 minutes tomorrow. And actually SEEING that big blue 15 minutes on the clock go down from across the room is PRICELESS! It makes time feel less weighty." —JDillon
Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in eight colors).
13. An anti-blister balm — there's always a break-in period when you wear new boots, and this will help minimize the pain from blisters. This works best if you apply it at the beginning of the day before you start walking because it will create a barrier between your shoe and your skin.
14. An oversized teddy bear coat that'll be the warm, cozy layer you need to keep the fall chill away when you're out and about. This might be the closest you can get to wearing a blanket in public.
Some reviewers recommend sizing up for a slouchy fit and more room to layer.
Promising review: "OBSESSED!!! Exactly like a coat from Urban Outfitters except at a fraction of the cost. It's super comfy and warm! Love love love it! It feels expensive and is super cute. You don't have to spend so much money on trendy items — it's so not worth it when you can find cute dupes." —Vanessa
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in women's sizes S–3XL and 35 styles).
15. A paw cleaner to prevent your floor from being covered in muddy footprints when your dog comes inside after a damp fall morning outside. All you have to do is add water, and the gentle silicone bristles remove caked-on dirt and mud.
Promising review: "I have four dogs in NYC. I have to wash their feet after every walk because the streets are so filthy. It would take me about 10 to15 minutes to clean their paws with a spray bottle and towel. Now, it takes about five minutes. And the towel doesn’t end up filthy. The dirt gets caught in the cup. Plus the dogs seem to like it. The silicone bristles must feel good. A huge thumbs-up!" –Sandra
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in three sizes and six colors).
16. A beloved Carhartt beanie so you can keep your head and ears oh so toasty all fall long — and look super on trend while doing it. It comes in a few dozen colors, which means you can buy a couple of them so you'll always have one to match the rest of your autumn ensemble.
This has over 109,000 5-star ratings, so you know it's gotta be good!
Promising review: "I needed a cozy guy for the winter. It can get very cold where I live especially during morning time when I’m walking my dog. I need to keep my ears warm! The material is so soft and there are many color options. I got the black one." —Yamit
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in one size and 17 colors).
17. A set of satin pillowcases to protect your hair from tangling and matting. The ultra-soft fabric doesn't absorb moisture from your skin, so you'll also wake up to a super-hydrated complexion — which is great in fall when the air starts to get drier.
18. A popular foot exfoliant if, after a summer of wearing exclusively wearing sandals, your heels are a bit (okay, very) dry and cracked. Yes, it might be a bit gross to see all that skin peel off, but the payoff is the softest feet you've ever had.
Promising review: "My feet were dry, cracked, and needed this. This works AMAZING! After two to three days my feet felt itchy. Trust the process. After the third day my feet began to itch a little. I showered after work and it just be prepared because the process was FREAKY! My feet are so soft, no cracks. I love how they feel and look now. I bought a second pack. I’ll continue to use this foot peel." —Mermaidme
Get a pair from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 11 varieties).
19. An Orolay jacket, aka *the* Amazon coat, that'll keep you feeling like a cozy little bug once late fall rolls around and the temperatures really start dipping down. Let's not forget all the pockets (feel free to leave your purse at home) and the sherpa-lined hood to keep your noggin toasty!
Check out this reviewer (who can fit their pregnancy bump in this!) trying on the coat on TikTok here!
Promising review: "This jacket has been all over Instagram and I am here for it! Seriously, though. It has pockets with zippers so you can secure keys/phone/etc and not worry about them falling out. The jacket itself is like being wrapped up in a downy hug. It's a little bulky to wear inside, but my classroom is cold a lot and I have not hesitated to put it on! The hood might be my favorite part: it is oversized and lined in fleecy sherpa material — it is SO soft! I got black because it goes with everything and will not show dirt. Best jacket I have ever had for winter recess and after school duty!" —Texas_mama
Get it from Amazon for $159.99 (available in women's sizes XXS–5X and 13 styles).
20. A bottle of Elizavecca Hair Treatment, if you're feeling like your processed, damaged hair has seen better days after a summer full of sun exposure and swimming in pools. This will breathe new life into your locks by making it feel fuller, healthier, and silkier thanks to the ceramides and collagen in the formula.
This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2b to 4c curls mentioning it worked for them! Reviewers have also mentioned it's a great dupe for Olaplex treatments.
Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok, and in between other compares products that were four times the price, I decided to bite the bullet and buy this — let me tell you, best decision ever! I shampooed my hair, then heavily massaged this in, from ends to scalp. The carton says 5-20 minutes... But i ended up leaving it in for two days! And after washing it out, my hair was so shiny, bouncy and CURLY! My curl recovery journey has been long, but this has helped restore so much vibrance and shape to my hair. My mom has been stealing it from my bathroom every couple of days, after having similar results on her hair. Going to need to buy a few more to ward her off." —curlyhead3
Get a bottle from Amazon for $7.80.

21. A super comfortable linen sweater that, unlike most sweaters, feels super lightweight and breathable, making it perfect for the days you still want to dress for fall but it's actually on the warmer side.
The Bliss Nature is a Lithuanian small biz on Etsy creating a variety of linen clothing and accessories, from loungewear and sweaters to aprons and dresses.
Promising review: "Oh my god, this exceeds all my (very high) expectations! It's PERFECT! Absolutely gorgeous as well as lightweight and soooo comfortable. I'm ecstatic." —Sibylle Leon
Get it from The Bliss Nature on Etsy for $87.20 (originally $109; available in sizes XS–3XL and six colors).
22. La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer poised to be your skincare MVP this fall. The lightweight formula will keep your skin moisturized — feel free to wear it underneath your makeup to keep that hydration going all day long.
23. A trio of professional-quality knives if all that cozy time indoors has inspired you to try your hand at becoming an amateur chef, but you don't have the proper equipment to do that! This priceless investment will have you slicing, dicing, and cutting your ingredients with ease thanks to the razor-sharp edge.
The set comes with the Almost 4” Knife, the Serrated 6” Knife, and the 8” Knife.
Material Kitchen is an Asian-owned small business that sells high-quality kitchenware meant for home cooks.
Promising review: "This is our first set of 'adult' kitchen knives. We wanted to ditch the large block of knives and go with a cleaner look. The knives are so beautiful and the block is gorgeous. It's an investment that is well worth every penny." —Stephanie M.
Get the three-piece knife set from Material Kitchen for $155 (available in four handle colors) and get the stand for $90 (available in two colors).
24. An air purifier to remove all of the dust, mold, pet hair, and any other microscopic nastiness that's floating through the air and making you sneeze all throughout autumn. Reviewers say it's helped with their indoor allergy symptoms tremendously!
Promising review: "I have gone through a lot of air purifiers, even $400 ones, to help with my allergies from my dog and general seasonal allergies. I purchased my first LEVOIT Air Purifier through another company and I loved it so much I wanted another. The product works great and seems to have helped my allergies at night in my bedroom from my dog and more recently the pollen from the open windows. You can get all the replacement filters on Amazon as well at a great price. It has a nightlight feature that you can turn off and I love that this version (my first white one I bought didn't have this) has silent buttons! There is no BEEP when turning the power on or off. The highest setting is a little loud, but I love having background noise when sleeping so it is perfect for me. They are definitely worth the money in my opinion and work better than more expensive ones I have purchased in the past. I now own three of these for every bedroom in the house!" —TheLeveques
Get it from Amazon for $89.99 and get a replacement filter for $29.65.
25. A desk bike chair if the sun setting earlier means it's harder for you to get out after work to squeeze a workout in. Now you can get your sweat on during those endless Zoom meetings you have to sit through.
Promising review: "This is worth the money. This bike rocks. It was recommended to me by a coworker a few months ago and I contemplated the purchase for a while until I finally decided that my health is worth the money invested. It works well and runs quietly. The highest resistance definitely smokes you fast, so this would keep up with other exercise bikes in that regard. Something I'd like to praise is the simplicity of assembly. It was literally one bolt to screw the desk into the bike and then unfolding the legs at the bottom. I had the thing unpacked and assembled in two minutes. I wish every product was that simple. My first time riding at the maximum resistance (level 8), there was some grinding noise going on, but I kept riding for a minute or two and it went away for good. No issues reported and the other people living with me are enjoying the bike as well. It sits in the corner in the living room where we can watch TV while biking or working." —Cory
Get it from Amazon for $499.99 (available in two colors).
26. Or a foldable treadmill from Treadly so you can get in your daily walk or jog at home when it's too cold to run outside. It's thin enough to be stored under your bed or couch, so even people with tiny apartments or limited storage space can still take advantage!
You can walk or jog up to 5 mph and move the handrail up or down.
Promising review: "This treadmill is exactly as described and exactly what I needed! I live in a modest two-bedroom townhouse and didn’t want anything too large taking up valuable space and restrictive. I love that this is small enough to leave out if I want but when my granddaughter is here I can fold it and put it out of the way. I was able to take it out of the box by myself, love that it was ready to plug in and use right out of the box. No problems pairing the Bluetooth speaker with my phone. I’m enjoying being able to walk even when the weather is bad outside. No regrets, worth the money spent." —Joan M.
Get it from Treadly for $749+ (available in Basic or Pro models).

27. A light-up alarm clock to simulate the sun rising to gently wake you up in the morning. It's a lifesaver for early risers who sleep in a really dark room and struggle to get out of bed in the fall.
It can also simulate the sun setting at night to help with your natural sleep cycle!
Promising review: "This light is amazing! I was hoping this would work but unsure if it would, and worried that I would wake up the second the light turned on. I also felt silly for spending so much money on an alarm clock, but it is such a game-changer! The sunset mode is my favorite thing ever. Normally I have a really hard time taking sleep, but with this thing I almost always fall asleep by the time the light fades of, and I love that you can adjust how long the sunset lasts depending on how fast you want to fall asleep. I haven't had to take any melatonin since I started using it. The sunrise function is also nice. It is so gradual and wakes you up so slowly that I didn't even think it worked at first, because I felt like I naturally woke up, except I now wake up 'naturally' almost an hour earlier than my body was waking up before I started using this, and I sleep in way more when I don't use it. It starts out with such a dark red light that you barely notice it when you are awake, let alone when you are asleep. It's super easy to use and set up. I haven't really tried the radio function yet but everything else works great. Would 100% recommend this product; it is worth the price." —Koby McInnis
Get it from Amazon for $169.99.
28. A Hoover Smartwash carpet cleaner built to pick up debris *and* give your carpet a thorough washing before winter comes. There's no need to call a professional to deep clean your carpets when you have this powerful machine.
It cleans your carpet *as* you vacuum like you would regularly — push to wash and pull back to dry. It comes with a 2-in-1 pet tool, sample bottle of cleaning solution, an eight-foot hose, and an accessory storage bag.
Promising review: "You know you are an adult when you get a vacuum in the mail and get super excited about it haha. We aren't rolling in the dough by any means so spending this much money on a carpet cleaner when we already had a good vacuum cleaner seemed a little silly, but after using it we would say it was worth it! We only have carpet upstairs but this is a house that we live in; it isn't spotless. We have a dog and potty training took her a little while to figure out and I am super clumsy (I spill something daily). So having something on hand to spot clean is really handy for us. I love having a clean space to come home to and to host people at. I am super grateful that this carpet cleaner has an auto dry feature and has a dry-only button. I was a little generous with the cleaner side of it so I was happy to have a way to fix my overzealousness. The carpet cleaning side of it was pretty user-friendly; the stair cleaning however took me a hot minute to figure out. Once I figured it out it was great and I was tickled that it had a stair attachment option. I feel confident that my carpets are clean; however, I feel like the cleanliness of the carpet on the stairs is only meh. Stairs are just awkward to clean though, I don't think it was so much the product and the provided tools. All in all, this is a great product and it is a heck of a lot cheaper than to hire someone to come and clean it — at least that's true for our neck of the woods." —Brittany
Get it from Amazon for $209.89.
29. And a robot vacuum because anything that can do a chore for me is something I'm willing to spend my money on. When your schedule is packed with fall festivals, football games, and leaf-peeping trips, the last thing you have time for is vacuuming!
Promising review: "Wow... worth the money!!!! Thanks to my mom, ever since I got my Eufy vacuum robot, I was in LOVE!!!! It did an amazing job keeping the house clean. Honestly, I was so impressed with the vacuum. You would think my house was clean, but when I used the vacuum on the house, it picked up so much dirt and junk, it was incredible. What was so astounding about Eufy was it was so quiet and yet, the suctioning power was impressive." —YKR
Get it from Amazon for $139.99+ (available in two colors).
30. A blanket from Rumpl designed to go everywhere you go this fall: camping trips, on the beach, on a road trip. Built to feel like a sleeping bag, it's packable, insulated, repels sand, and is made out of 100% recycled material. OH! And you can wear it over you like a cape thanks to a front loop closure.
Rumpl is a small business based in Portland, Oregon that makes stylish, cozy "sleeping bag blankets" meant for indoor and outdoor activities.
Promising review: "I recommend this for ANYONE who gets cold easily, who has to sit at baseball or soccer games in the cold, or just wants to warm up quickly. It's really warm and windproof and goes the job wonderfully well! I was hesitant at the price, but it is well worth it!" —Tina W.
Get it from Rumpl for $99+ (available in two sizes) and check it out in other colors here.
31. A pair of lightweight legging-style joggers if you're looking for the perfect transitional piece for fall. Not only can these carry through a workout, they also complete a perfect athleisure look as you head to brunch with your friends.
Promising review: "These are literally the best leggings/joggers I have ever owned and I plan to eventually buy every single color. I originally saw these on TikTok and heard they were like the Lululemon ones but cheaper. I've never owned Lululemon leggings but if they feel anything like these then I have clearly been missing out. These are soft and absolutely perfect. I love the pockets and jogger style but that they fit like leggings and can be worn to the gym or dressed up with a cute outfit. I need to buy every color of these before they're gone!" —Courtney
Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XL and 16 colors).
32. Dr Teal's Sleep Spray with melatonin for anyone who needs help winding down at night when their sleep cycle is all messed up with it getting darker earlier. You'll definitely want this around when Daylight Saving Time rolls around!
Promising review: "A coworker suggested this product because I have a tough time falling asleep and do not want to take sleep meds. This smells incredible and, for me, has really worked. It’s a little shocking actually as I didn’t have big expectations for it. I’m on my second bottle however and both my boyfriend and I really enjoy it." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $13.97.
33. A pack of vacuum-sealed storage bags to compress your off-season clothing that is currently crowding your closet. You'll be amazed at how flat everything gets when you suck all the air out of the bags!
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer LOVES these! Here's what she has to say: "WHY didn't I buy these vacuum storage bags sooner?? I chose the large size (as opposed to the biggest size, called 'jumbo') because it seemed easier to move and store — jumbo is probably perfect for bedding, duvets, etc! And just one large bag was plenty to store nine or 10 *very* large winter sweaters — all collapsed down to a fraction of their size. And it was surprisingly effortless, too! I am literally going to order another pack of five today — my closet game is forever changed!!!"

34. An easy-to-use corer for when you come back from apple picking and you have approximately three dozen apples to core. Not only is this convenient, it can save your fingers from a nick from a knife slip.
Promising review: "This thing is great. Very sturdy. Works amazingly well. I bought this because I had 1 1/2 bushels of apples I needed to core to make apple butter. Did the job in no time at all with this gadget. Much less waste than cutting around the core and in 99+% of the apples it removed the entire core and seeds without me having to do touch-ups with a paring knife. I highly recommend this tool and will be buying more of them to give as gifts for friends who enjoy the culinary arts." —James Miller
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in 17 colors).
35. A midi dress from Valani if you're headed back to the office this fall and are in desperate need of a work-appropriate dress. The elbow-length sleeves and darker, structured fabric make this great for chillier autumn days, but it can also be worn when summer rolls around again thanks to the plant-based material that's naturally temperature regulating.
Valani is a sustainable small business dedicated to making pieces that are both eco-friendly and extremely comfortable. They also break down the positive impact each piece in their collection makes. For example, for each Sodalin hemp midi dress produced, the brand avoided 4.1 miles of driving emissions, saved 296.8 days of drinking water, and planted one tree.
Get it from Valani for $298 (available in sizes 0–12).
36. A tiny milk frother for making fancy lattes from the comfort of your own home. Now you can enjoy professional-quality drinks every day without breaking the bank.
Promising review: "So I’ll admit I got this on a whim after a TikTok video, however I’m in love with this thing! It’s so much fun to use and you make your at home drinks feel so much more special. It’s easy to use and froths pretty quickly if you’re on the fence I’d say what are you waiting for buy it already!" —Denise
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 44 styles).
37. A four-sided cleaning brush if you get caught in a storm with your tried-and-true favorite pair of boots and they end up with tons of mud stains on them. Use the stiff bristles on really set-in stains or scuff marks and the softer silicone bristles on more delicate fabrics like suede.
Promising review: "My favorite pair of Uggs were stored in a closet with a major moisture issue. I pulled them out for the cold weather to discover they were covered in mold! With the help of this handy little brush and some white vinegar, my boots are as good as new!! I love that this brush has four different sides for different parts of the shoe. It’s very handy and works very well!" —Sammi

38. A miraculous little bottle of Quick N Brite Fireplace Cleaner to clear away any and all built-up soot, smoke, and ash on your fireplace. That ~weathered~ look in the first pic does look pretty spooky, but if you'd rather not look like you live in a haunted house, maybe try this out!
Promising review: "Unbelievable! My daughter just moved into her first home. She thought she would have to paint her brick fireplace because of the heavy soot stains that had been there for years. We applied the product twice and put in a whole lot of elbow grease, but what a difference! It’s a messy process, but well worth the time and energy." —MM
