1. A supremely soft and snuggly Eddie Bauer blanket you can cuddle up with as you start your yearly Gilmore Girls rewatch. That theme song just hits different in the fall. 🎵 If you're out on the road... 🎵
Promising review: "I got this for my mom because she likes to watch the Hallmark Channel under a blanket and she’s always cold. She always uses this now and I find myself using it when I come to visit. It's very lightweight and warm. Probably the best throw blanket for your couch." —Tyler B.
Get it from Amazon for $21.58+ (available in 12 other colors).
2. An adorably autumnal maple tree lamp to make you feel like you're spending your nights galavanting through an enchanted fall forest instead of just wrapping up the work you didn't quite finish in the afternoon. I cannot confirm or deny if that's my current situation as I type this.
Promising review: "The tree was safely packaged, took only three AA batteries, and looks wonderful. The branches are easy to spread out and both the leaves and lights are well placed. I have it on my desk at work and everyone in the office stopped by to ask where I got it. Ah, simple joys!" —LM
Get it from Amazon for $18.99.
3. A deliciously scented Spiced Pumpkin Yankee Candle that'll basically turn your home into the world's coziest fall festival thanks to its blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and brown sugar. *Jennifer Coolidge voice* Makes me want a Starbucks pumpkin loaf real bad.
Promising review: "This is my favorite scent for fall. It’s what I think about when I think of what fall smells like ... These last for a whole season for me and the smell stays constant. Yankee candles never disappoint. They burn evenly and smell strong unlike other candles that lose their smell after a few hours of burning them." —K. Pozzi
Get the large two-wick tumbler from Amazon for $21.49 (also available in various other sizes).
4. Or a pumpkin spice scented reed diffuser if you prefer a flameless way to make your home smell like notes of cinnamon, clove, and buttercream. Not only will it look super cute amongst your fall decor, but it'll also continuously scent your space for around three months — just in time for you to switch to the Christmas tree scent!
If you're new to reed diffusers, it's super simple: just place the reeds into the opened jar of fragrance oil, then the reeds will start to soak up the oil and disperse the scent throughout your home — no flames required!
Promising review: "I love my little reed diffuser! The design is so cute and minimal, the smell is spot-on, not "chemically", and makes my home feel like autumn! I was looking for a diffuser that would give enough scent without being too much or too little and this fits the bill. Very happy with my purchase." —Meg M.
Sweet Water Decor is a woman-owned business based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Get it from Sweet Water Decor on Etsy for $28.
5. OR!! A cozy Fireside candle for those who think the whole pumpkin spice thing is basic and played out (I can't relate — I would use McCormick pumpkin pie spice as dry shampoo if I could). This has notes of roasted marshmallows, embers, oak, patchouli, and smoke, so you'll probably be tempted to whip up some s'mores and tell ghost stories every time you light this puppy.
Wickry Candle Co. is a small Etsy shop based in Carrollton, Texas.
Get it from Wickry Candle Co. on Etsy for $18.
6. WAIT I'VE GOT ONE MORE!!! A set of realistic flameless candles so you can still get that autumnal glow without the risk of burning your house down. These have a super convenient remote control with different timer settings so you can make sure you aren't wasting any of that precious battery power.
Pssst! You'll need three AA batteries in each, so go ahead and pick up a pack of 20 while you're at it.
Promising review: "TikTok made me buy it lol. They are beautiful and look real. Love the timer and the remote!! The glass color is very rich looking!" —Linda
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in five colors).
7. A mini KitchenAid stand mixer to help you live out all of your Great British Baking Show dreams while you catch up on the latest season. It comes with over 10 attachments that can mix up doughs for fresh-baked cookies so you can save all your arm strength for actually eating them.
Promising review: "This mini is perfect for everything that doesn't need the capacity of my full size KitchenAid. It's great for beating eggs, whipping cream, etc., but it's also ideal for making small-batch cookie dough, dinner rolls, single loaves of yeast bread, crumble toppings, and on and on." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $329.95+ (available in nine colors).
8. And don't forget this helpful cord organizer with an adhesive sticker you can place on the back of your stand mixer (or any other appliance!) so you'll have a place to wrap your cord instead of letting it dangle all over your counter. This is honestly genius and I want to put one on every appliance I own.
Promising reviews: "This little thing works so well at containing the cord. It makes my mixer all neat and tidy. I love this!" —Isabelleosborne21
3D Home Solutions is a small Etsy shop based in Frisco, Texas.
Get it from 3D Home Solutions on Etsy for $8 (available in three colors).
9. A humidifier that'll banish any dryness in the air now that it's starting to get cold out. Your skin will probably send you a thank you card.
Promising review: "My poor old dog has developed breathing problems, and when the polar vortex sucked all the moisture out of the air, her cough got really bad. This has definitely helped her breathe easier during these dry times. As for the humidifier itself, it's super quiet, easy to use, and also works as a great night light!" —K. Williams
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in two sizes).
10. A set of magnetic garage handles to give your home the carriage-style doors of your dreams without spending an absolute fortune.
Psst! Don't forget to add some faux windows for an extra special touch.
Promising review: "I’ve been wanting to upgrade our garage door for a long time and now I have no idea why I waited! The magnets are super strong. Purchased two sets but only used one set of 'handles,' I wasn’t a fan of how close I had to place each set next to each other with the narrow spacing on the door itself. Paired with the magnetic 'windows,' it looks like a brand-new door!" —MrsPirate
Get them from Amazon for $21+ (available in three sets/variations).
11. A hanging closet organizer so you can get your go-to pairs of boots out of that messy pile on your floor. They deserve so much better.
Promising review: "I have a few several sets of boots that have for years lived slumped over in my closet and as of recently — become a bed for my cats. I was desperate for some way to store them off the floor. I came across this and it's perfect!" —J. Shepperd
Get it from Amazon for $8.66.
12. And a handmade wooden rack with pegs that are perfect for boot storage, though you can also totally use it for hats, scarves, gloves, sneakers, and any other accessories you need before you head out the door.
Dakota Designs Market is a small Etsy shop based in Advance, North Carolina.
Get it from Dakota Designs Market on Etsy for $47.99 (available in two finishes).
13. A smart thermostat you can control from literally anywhere, which means you'll never have to come home to a ridiculously cold living room! It can also actually detect when you leave the house and adjust the temperature accordingly to help save you some coin.
Promising review: "Within about two weeks of installation, this thermostat has already saved me big! I got a notice from it stating that my furnace had turned off unexpectedly many times and that I should check the unit for function. When I checked the furnace, I found that the previous owner of my house (purchased home in summer 2020 and had not used the heat until now) had never bothered to change the filter on the unit. This was causing a major airflow issue that could easily have caused premature furnace failure if left unattended. Thanks to the warning from this thermostat, I was able to fix the problem for the price of a new filter. Highly recommended!" —Mitch
Get it from Amazon for $103.98+ (available in four colors and various bundles).
14. A set of adhesive strips to close the gap under your door and stop any annoying drafts. It'll make it much easier to heat up your home, and it'll also keep bugs, dirt, and leaves outside where they belong.
Promising review: "I got this because the front door is un-level and very drafty. I didn’t want to spend a lot since we rent it but the amount of bugs coming from underneath was annoying.
The material is very flexible and pliable which is great. A lot of these that I’ve used at big box stores tend to be somewhat rigid and want to fall off the minute you open the door. For my application, the door itself is raised up about 2” from the floor, so I didn’t have to worry about it dragging. However the door is 90 years old so it’s seen a lot of wear and tear but this thing works perfectly. So impressed with how easy it was to apply, you can guide it along as you need to since it’s so flexible. I never thought I’d get excited about a door draft stopper but this is that moment." —rezzim
Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four colors).
15. A set of spice-gripper clips because fall is the time to up your spice game — and your kitchen is way too small to not be utilizing literally every single inch of space inside your cabinet.
Promising review: "OMG, I love these things! Such a simple idea; how did I ever live without them? ... They hold all different circumferences of spice bottles. If some spices are too big to place all in the same connected row, you can cut off a tab and separate them. It doesn’t really affect the items on the shelves; you just have to push them back a little (maybe half an inch or so), so the spices have clearance when the door is shut." —Bridget D.
Get a set of six from Amazon for $13.97 (also available in sets of four).
16. And an adjustable rack that will neatly store your pans, muffin tins and pie trays so you can quickly grab what you need and get your bake on. Paul Hollywood would be so proud of you.
Promising review: "Loved it so much I bought a second one immediately! Works great for circular pans, 9x13 cake pans, heavier pans, jelly roll pans, awkward collapsible colanders, cutting boards, whatever you want. Having nonskid feet is a big plus." —Organization Freak/Hobby Cook
Get it on Amazon for $18.99.
17. A set of three owl-shaped plant pots — they perch upon their very own bamboo stand to offer wisdom and guidance while keeping your succulents looking their best. It definitely has a ~fall vibe~ but it's so cute you'll probably leave it up all year long.
Need some succulents? Reviewers love this five-pack that comes fully rooted in soil.
Promising review: "I gifted this to my mom, and she said it was one of her favorite gifts she has ever received!! The owls are perfectly sized and have a hole on the bottom to drain water. The wooden part looks exactly like the picture and literally takes only seconds to put together. (Seriously, I guarantee you can put it together in under a minute!) Everything you need to assemble the item is in the box." —Smiley
Get it from Amazon for $19.80.
18. A Nespresso Vertuo so you can stop wasting money on those daily morning PSL runs and finally start making your own caffeinated concoctions at home. Your wallet will be eternally grateful.
Promising review: "We are impressed! I am on my second cappuccino as I write this review. The coffee is rich, creamy, and so flavorful! The machine is very easy to use, convenient, and gives you an aromatic and very delicious cup of coffee in just a couple of minutes. It's a great value, too. Each cup of coffee costs less than a dollar, saving you money over the competition! The milk frother is wonderful addition. Works great and adds depth and creaminess to your coffee! I just love this machine!" —Renee Beckman
Get it from Amazon for $184+ (available in four colors/finishes, with or without Aeroccino accessory, and also with various pod packs).
19. A smart air purifier with settings you can completely control from your smartphone or other Alexa-enabled device. Want to put it on a lower setting while you sleep? Just say "Alexa, turn down the air purifier" while you curl up under the covers. It's a must if the change in seasons always makes your allergies act up.
Promising review: "I love this air purifier. I have owned one for a bit and decided I needed a second for another room. The quality is incredible. Pros: easy to clean, easy to use, adaptable for various times of the day (night mode, three levels, new filter light, etc.), inexpensive for the quality. As someone who has had asthma since 6 months of age, I highly recommend it!!" —Fort Worth Cathy
Get it from Amazon for $89.99+ (available in three colors).
20. An upgrade to your trash can that opens with just a wave of your hand, because you shouldn't have to handle any more garbage for the rest of the year.
Promising review: "I've waited almost a year to write this review because I wanted to be sure this product was long-lasting. We have a tiny kitchen in our beach house and a tiny and weirdly shaped space for a trash can. I researched FOREVER (just ask my husband) and finally settled on this one. It fits perfectly in the space and has surpassed my expectations in every way. It's attractive and fits a TON of trash in a very discreet way. I love it." —S. Loud
Get it from Amazon for $89.99+ (available in 18 different styles and bundles).
21. A Ring Video Doorbell so you can see who's at the door without actually going to the door. It can also keep an eye on all those packages you've been ordering, especially now that the holidays are right around the corner.
Promising review: "If you are away a lot, or in our case, a second home, this doorbell is almost required. Anyone who walks up to your door, be it the Amazon delivery person or someone casing your house, you will see them CLEARLY. And you can even talk to them if you want to. The app on your phone alerts you when someone has approached, and it records it. When you're several hundred miles away, this is invaluable." —Mrs. Robinson
Get if rom Amazon for $99.99 (available in two colors and various bundles).

22. A lightbulb that can change colors with the simple press of a button on your phone. You can also use the app to dim the lights and turn them on and off, so you basically never have to touch a lamp ever again.
Promising review: "I decided to try out this pack of bulbs because of the multi color feature, and I was not disappointed. They work well, have many color options to choose from, and the convenience of use over Wi-Fi is great.
My friend and I each share devices with each other in case we need the other person to turn our lights on or off for us when we aren't home, and even the remote sharing works wonderfully. I wish I could attest to how long they last, but so far with nearly one year on the first bulb, I see no issues." —EvP
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $18.99 (also available in packs of four and six).
23. And a smartlamp so you can coordinate the lighting to your mood with a simple touch of your phone. Now you can have some red lighting while you're watching a scary movie 🙀, or some warm ☀️ yellow light ☀️ as you wake up in the morning!
Promising review: "Awesome small table lamp in multitude of different colors. Breeze to setup. You can choose different scenes which give different colored lights. You can also chose to cycle through continuously the different colors, which keep changing until you stop it." —Snagglepuss
Get it from Amazon for $41.99 (available in three colors).
24. A garage door opener that lets you open and close your garage door from your phone and set a customized schedule. It's also perfect for those "Wait, did I close the garage door?!" moments of panic.
Promising review: "The package arrived on time and it only took 15 minutes to install. It actually lets you open and close the garage from your phone and it shows how long the door is open or closed. I was also able to connect it to my Nest camera and my Xfinity system, so that was a bonus. Works great and does what it says." —Snail
Get it from Amazon for $29+ (also available in various bundles).
25. And a smartlock to provide some much-needed peace of mind when you leave the house. It works with most existing locks, so you won't have to worry about any ridiculously complicated installation. If you're heading out on vacay this fall, this will help put your mind at ease.
Promising review: "The product was easy to install, took about 15 minutes, instructions are clear and easy, well made, rugged, with easy access (magnets). We have now been using it for a month with 100% reliability. We have suffered a few power outages, bringing my home network down, but the system finds its way back online without human intervention." —Dan F.
Get it from Amazon for $129.98 (also available in various bundles).
26. A pack of velvet hangers that will provide a much better grip on your clothes. They're also super thin, so you'll have tons of extra space for all your bulky puffer jackets and chunky-knit sweaters!
Promising review: "The difference in my closet because of the hangers alone is striking. I can finally shift clothes to the side to actually see what I have. While some may think that saving their money and dealing with a tight closet is worth it, I am completely sold on making the change. So happy I pulled the trigger. I've purchased 100 more just now so that I can do the same for my boyfriend's closet." —ChristineSD
Get a 30-pack from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in 12 colors and various packs).
27. And a nifty tiered hanger, because using a regular hanger for your scarves is such a waste of space.
Promising review: "I ordered these in hopes to gain some extra space in my closet and they did just that! I was able to fit five pairs of dress pants on one hanger and they hung nicely in my closet. They didn't hang down super low which was a concern of mine since I have shoe storage on the floor of my closet. My pants hung higher than when they were on normal hangers so I was pleased to have a little more space below." —Erica
Get a set of three from Amazon for $18.05 (available in two colors).
28. An extendable tray so you can take a warm bath with your iPad, a good book, and your favorite beverage all at arm's length — which is the absolute height of luxury.
Promising review: "I am so happy I ordered this! I can put my iPad or a book against the metal rest, have a drink, put my phone in the phone holder, and put some decorative candles in the sides. I am now a bath lover and would recommend this product to anyone looking to step up their bath or relaxation routine. I can now relax in the tub and multitask easily!" —Sierra G.
Get it from Amazon for $35.74+ (available in seven colors).
29. Or a popular pouch filled with eucalyptus leaves that'll fill your bathroom with relaxing fragrance so you can escape the gloomy fall weather and be transported to a summery paradise every time you take a shower. You can tie it to the showerhead or your tub's faucet and let the steam release all that eucalyptus goodness so you can inhale deeply and pretend you're spending the day at an all inclusive resort.
Promising review: "This might have been the best smelling package I have received. The eucalyptus was so fragrant right out of the package. I tied it around my shower head and, wow! The smell was amazing! Highly recommend." —Ines J.
Eucalyptus Blooms is a small Etsy shop based in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Get a pack of three from Eucalyptus Blooms on Etsy for $11.59+ (originally $14.49; also available in a pack of five).
30. A leather cleaner so you can polish up and add some shine to all your furniture that has seen better days. The holidays are practically right around the corner — don't let your fam come visit and think you live in filth!
Remember to mix this concentrate with water before using!
Promising review: "My 15-year-old leather sectional hadn't been cleaned or conditioned in three to four years because I couldn't find anything that worked well without causing it to look blotchy. The color was also fading, and I thought it was a goner. After some elbow grease, the sectional looks great! It's now back to its original color without being blotchy. More importantly, the suppleness has returned. I can actually say that it looks as good as the day we bought it." —jellybean55
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in two sizes).
31. A cooling memory foam mattress topper that'll instantly upgrade your bed and have you feeling like you checked into a luxury 5-star hotel. It's infused with temperature-regulating gel beads that capture and dissipate heat so you can sleep soundly and comfortably — even when you're bundled up under your thickest blanket.
Promising review: "After a week, my back pain was virtually gone. I didn't want to jump to conclusions though, so I decided to give it more time. It's now been over a month and the topper has held up perfectly, the back pain is still virtually nonexistent, and even better, I'm not waking up as sweaty, so I guess the gel in the topper is doing the trick as waking up in a sweat had been part of my issue.
Simply put, I'm now sleeping through the night better and waking up feeling better, so I'd say this is definitely worth looking at if you're having back issues with your mattress." —David T.
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in 10 bed sizes, two thickness levels, and with or without a cover).
32. A Roborock robotic vacuum — it not only cleans your entire home at the push of a button, it also empties itself! Having a robot keep your home spotless is the future The Jetsons wanted for us.
I've always wanted a robotic vacuum, and after getting a chance to try the Roborock Q5+, I can't believe I waited so long. I absolutely hate vacuuming, so the ability to have a magical little robot clean my entire apartment at the touch of a button is an absolute lifesaver. The accompanying app is very easy to use — I typically use it to set up custom cleaning schedules — and the smart mapping feature was extremely accurate on the very first try. There are definitely cheaper options on the market, but what makes this worth the extra splurge is the self-emptying feature. Once the robotic vacuum is done cleaning, it finds its way back to the charging base and empties itself into a dust bag that lasts for up to seven weeks. My apartment has never been cleaner!
Get it from Amazon for $599.99 (clip the $100 off coupon to get this price).
33. A Bartesian cocktail maker, which is basically a Keurig for mixed drinks! If you're clueless when it comes to making at-home cocktails, this will take all the guesswork out and save you some money on overpriced drinks. All your guests will be SO impressed.
Check it out on TikTok here!
I used to work as a bartender, so anytime I'm with my friends I end up becoming the designated drink-pourer by default. The problem? I was ridiculously bad at it then and I'm ridiculously bad at it now. If a drink requires more than two ingredients, I probably can't make it 🙃.
Thankfully I had a chance to try out a Bartesian, and it'll now handle all bartending duties for me! It's super easy to use: just fill each glass container with your liquor of choice, insert a cocktail capsule, choose your desired strength, then sit back as it pours you a perfectly crafted drink. I had family over recently and the Rum Breeze and Cosmopolitan were huge hits. If you entertain often, you'll want this on your bar cart ASAP.
Get it from Amazon for $369.85.
34. A Little Green upholstery cleaner because all the upholstery in your home is probably way overdue for a good cleaning even if they don't look dirty. You'll love it so much, you'll probably bring it out to your car to help spruce up the interior. Basically, it'll be your new best friend.
Each cleaner comes with a trial size of Bissell's Spot & Stain Formula, which is also available on Amazon for $12.99!
Promising review: "Yep! TikTok made me buy it and I loved it. Looked for it online, and on Walmart they were about $150 for some reason?? Got it here, and I am LOVING IT. Things definitely look cleaner. Spots on my carpet are gone, and my car seats look brand new for the first time since I bought it! Directions are easy. Just a heads up, MAKE SURE TO USE WARM WATER. if you leave water in it and it gets cold, it's not as effective, so just follow instructions and it should be wonderful!" —Carlos
Get it from Amazon for $109.59.
35. A Wi-Fi-connected smartplug so you can ask Alexa to turn on your appliances without ever lifting a finger. You can also set custom schedules and routines so your electronics are never wasting energy.
Promising review: "I bought some other smartplugs last year and tried to use them for turning on lamps in my kids' rooms, but they were never very reliable, so they only worked sometimes. It was frustrating and I eventually just unplugged them. When I saw these by Amazon, I tried them and the setup was super easy and I haven't had any issues with them not working! Since this was already synced to my account, setup was as easy as plugging it in and pressing the ON button on the side of the plug. It connected instantly with my Wi-Fi network and all I had to do was rename the plug in my Alexa app. I would definitely recommend these over any off-brand if you're looking to use them with Alexa." —D Kerr
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
A thermostat you can control from the couch?!
