1. A vegan exfoliating body scrub for anyone who knows that fall weather means more PSL *and* more KP flare-ups. This buffs away bumps by combining the benefits of a chemical peel and microdermabrasion into one gentle, at-home treatment.
Promising review: "Love this product! Having suffered from KP for decades and trying numerous products (both OTC and prescription), this product has by far produced the best results. Smoother, smaller bumps in one use, reduced redness, reduced further in-grown hairs, and exfoliated skin to relieve itching. Paired with a thick, hydrating moisturizer for the winter it has been a lifesaver!" —Monisha Burks
Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in three sizes).
2. A roll-on blister-preventing balm if you've got new booties to break in, but zero time to waste limping around because of painful blisters.
Promising review: "My family goes to Disney World every year, and even with rotating shoes every other day, we still get blisters. I bought this before our trip two months ago, and it was worth every penny. We rubbed it all over the top, bottom, sides of our feet and toes each morning, and our feet did not blister! I highly recommend this product for long Disney days or any time you will be on your feet for a long period of time." —Cari Sanders
Get it from Amazon for $9.
3. A battery-operated patio umbrella light with three brightness modes that'll add some much-needed overhead lighting when the sun goes down early and the fam is still knee-deep in a backyard board game.
The tool-free installation is as simple as opening the unit and camping it onto the umbrella pole. It requires four AA batteries to run, which are not included.
Promising review: "This light is great!!! It has three settings, to adjust the amount of brightness you need. Lowest level is great for just sitting around your patio table and having a couple of drinks with friends. Brightest setting is PERFECT for playing cards! We play cards a few times a month. There are two 70+-year-olds who did not complain that they couldn’t see. So, works great in my book! 😁" —Mandie Jordan
Get it from Amazon for $11.97.
4. A flannel plaid shacket to live out your full autumnal agenda with a versatile layering piece by your side that adds warmth (but not too much) and was basically made for apple cider sipping and pumpkin patch adventures.
Reviewers say this runs large so, depending on the type of fit you're going for, you may want to order a size down.
Promising review: "Super cute and oversized for pairing with any outfit. Got the green for St. Patrick’s day then ordered black because I loved it so much. Large was super comfy and cute with a black bodysuit under it!" —Lindsey Daniels
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and in 13 colors/styles).
5. A foldable mini pop-up tent (it appeared on Shark Tank!) so you stay weather protected during all your kid's frigid football games and rainy soccer matches. One fully zipped pod can get up to 35 degrees warmer compared to exposed bleacher seats and has full-size clear panels for an unobstructed view.
Under The Weather is a family-owned small business creating pods to handle all your outdoor weather-related needs. Bonus — you can zip several together side by side while still keeping the front closed!
Promising review: "We had a ballgame today where it was 30 degrees; one minute it was raining then it would turn to snow. While everyone else was freezing cold I was warm and toasty — I only had a long-sleeve shirt and yoga pants on while everyone else was layered up. I had extra stuff with me but I put it on the floor of the pod 'cause I was so warm. Others had three or four blankets on top of their layers of clothes. I put a small propane heater in there and it felt like I was sitting in my living room. I highly recommend this product as I am a very happy customer! I’ve looked at them for years but always backed out and finally decided it was time to get it. I will never sit out in a cold snowy or rainy ballgame ever again." —Jeff & tennille chambers
Get it from Amazon for $109.99 (available in five colors).
6. A customizable door draft stopper because you're paying top dollar for heat and AC (fall weather can't make up its mind!) and not about to let any of that money go to waste. This works to plug up gaps that prevent your home from being cooled or heated with max efficiency. Simply cut to size, slide under your door, and enjoy a little extra $$$ in your pocket.
Promising review: "It’s saved us so much money on our energy bill we’re definitely buying more and I encourage you to buy more if you want to save on your energy bills." —Kellykelly
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
7. Plus some self-adhesive insulating weather strips for applying to the edges of drafty windows and doors that'll help keep cold air in, hot air out, and even dampen the sound of your roommate's three-hour-long Zoom meeting.
Promising review: "Can't beat the price! Great adhesive strength. Using in Texas weather on doors to seal air leaks. The weatherproofing material itself is very pliable and soft, presuming it weathers the heat and humidity. Can split a roll into two thinner strips doubling your coverage or can double insulate using the entire roll offering a lot of flexibility." —Paul K.
Get it from Amazon for $7.97+ (available in two sizes and in four colors).
8. An exfoliating mitt if a change in season signals incoming flakiness for your skin. Enjoy the delightful feeling of disgust that comes with seeing dead skin slough away right before your eyes and knowing that you're going to feel SO SMOOTH after.
Promising review: "Right out of the box I could tell these mitts were going to be exactly what I needed. Excellent quality and easy to use! I’ve tried them twice already and my skin is now incredibly smooth! After I scrubbed my arm, I looked at the mitt and saw it was covered with dead skin cells. I’ll be buying more of these as gifts for girlfriends (in a fun spa gift basket)!" —Danielle
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
9. Budget-friendly waterproof high-top sneakers that'll help you navigate those days when the forecast calls for some rain, but you're not up for an all-day commitment to your clunky galoshes.
Promising review: "These shoes have been a lifesaver for me at work while mowing wet lawns. They definitely will keep your feet dry unless you step in a giant puddle or something. Very durable. I am surprised they are still wearable after all the wear and tear." —Melissa Iverson
Get them from Amazon for $31.99 (available in women's sizes 5.5–11 and four colors).
10. And these chunky platform Chelsea boots with a grippy lug sole so you can make that leaf-laden sidewalk your runway without fear of slipping.

Get it from Amazon for $45.98 (available in sizes women's 5–11 and in 20 styles).
11. A pop-up leaf collector to make quick work of fall yard maintenance. This multipurpose tarp is perfect for collecting grass clippings, leaves, and branches. Then fold it like a taco to make transferring it all into the trash a breeze.
Plus, it folds up into the included carrying case for easy storage in the off-season.
Promising review: "I was able to pick up my leaves in record time using this leaf collector. I wish I had know about it years ago. It would have saved me so much money hiring people to do my leaves. I have told everyone I know about this product. They are all amazed when they see the video I did showing how I raked the leaves on the leaf collector. Folded up the ends like a taco and put it in the bag and released. SO EASY! Absolutely worth the money." —Ronnie
Get it from Amazon for $25.95.
12. An immunity-boosting allergy supplement because your dog's endless scratching could be seasonal allergies. Fortunately, these soft chews not only help soothe allergic reactions and skin sensitivity, but they also deliver a dose of probiotics and other nutrients to help support immune function and digestion.
Promising review: "What a great product! I have a small pooch and he’s been scratching himself around the nose and neck it seems due to allergies, leaving red bloody marks 😞. I bought this product and BAM within two days he stopped scratching and his marks are healing. And he really likes the taste. Thanks!" —Harold Koslowski
Get 90 chews from Amazon for $19.97+ (available in five styles).
13. A small-but-mighty portable air compressor with real-time pressure monitoring for inflating flat car and bike tires wherever you are. It's got a built-in LED light for easy nighttime use, and ultra-fast one-minute inflation to get you back on the road in practically no time at all.
Promising review: "Words cannot describe how much I hate dealing with gas stations — whether it’s getting gas, car wash, or air for my tires, I really hate being at the gas station for any length of time. I live in the Pittsburgh area so the up-and-down weather wreaks havoc on my tire pressure and I am TRULY GRATEFUL to be able to check my tire pressure and fill them up from the comfort of my home. This device couldn’t be easier to use and the fact that you can lock the nozzle in place and fill the air hands-free is just wonderful. I never leave reviews but chef’s kiss on this product. Can’t recommend enough." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in four colors).
14. A bestselling cool mist humidifier if seasonal dry air is wreaking havoc on your skin, hair, and sleep. Thanks to the high-capacity water tank, this near-silent humidifier can keep misting for over 24 hours and has a timed shut-off feature so you can set it and forget it.
Promising review: "It makes absolutely no noise. I'm in Arizona and we need the humidity Mother Nature doesn't bring us. Within minutes the humidity in the room increases. My thermostat shows the humidity and when it has a frowny face I turn on the humidifier and in no time I have a smiley face. It's so easy to fill and is a no-brainer to use. One of the best buys for me from Amazon." —Gary P
Get it from Amazon for $29.97+ (available in two sizes).
15. Plus, a genius humidifier cleaning cartridge to prevent stanky mold and mildew buildup in your tank for a whole month with no harsh chemicals. We're trying to solve problems, not create more of them.
16. An ingenious sandwich cutter and sealer that makes packing school lunches cheaper and easier by creating your own copycat Uncrustables at home for a fraction of the price. A set comes with three different shapes, but the filling possibilities are endless!
17. A pack of polished vinyl siding hooks so you can swap out your summer decor and hang something that feels more of the season without doing permanent damage to your siding. These durable hooks slide right into the seams with no tools required!
Promising review: "I had previously ordered hooks for siding, and I couldn’t use them. But these are great!! They are easy to 'slide' into the siding and are pretty sturdy, too. I am using three of this set and have hung different objects with them. The heaviest was a long welcome sign! You won’t be dissatisfied by ordering them." —Cheryl
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $6.90 (also available in larger multipacks).
18. A wildly popular Bio-Oil because real-life magic (aka science) has gifted us this powerful blend of nourishing oils and vitamins that can be applied virtually anywhere to help fade scars and lock in the moisture your skin so desperately needs in the colder months.
Promising reviews: "Love this oil — new favorite for the fall/winter. It smells nice like a chai latte!" —kk078
"After just about three weeks of use I’ve seen such a positive change in both the evenness of time and of the texture of my skin. Melasma and acne scarring have faded pretty dramatically — I don’t even bother putting on foundation when I do my makeup in the morning. The oil is so lightweight and doesn’t exacerbate my already oily complexion." —L T C
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a larger size).
19. An easy-to-use nasal spray for potentially relieving the symptoms of seasonal allergies. This saline rinse washes away irritants and helps to reduce tissue swelling so you can stop mouth breathing and rubbing your nose raw with tissues.
Read more about nasal sprays and allergies at Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "I cannot live without this spray! I have had bad sinuses since I was a kid. My boss recommended Xlear to me, and I have been a believer ever since. It actually burns sometimes when you spray it in your nostrils, but that is due to the Xylitol. After a few minutes, your nose starts to run and then the nasal passages are clear. Don't just try it once and say it doesn't work...use it as directed...it DOES work. At 53 years old with sinus challenges all my life, I am living proof! I use it all through allergy season...safe, effective, and NATURAL!!!" —KayKay67
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
20. And a fast-acting air purifier if the lingering effects of outdoor allergens feel like they're following you around the house. This is a quick and easy way to eliminate airborne allergens in your home with three-stage filtration that traps pet dander, pollen, odors, and more!
The purifier filters allergens, mold, pet dander, dust, smoke, and cooking odors, and covers up to 219 square feet. Plus, there's a smart indicator to let you know when it's time to put in a new replacement filter.
Promising review: "I foster kittens for a rescue, and no matter how often I clean the boxes — two or three times daily, and general cleaning — I still have an odor in the room. I got this product out of desperation. It was a good size and weight for kitties bouncing around. I am truly shocked and enormously happy with how it works! My husband was at wits' end with his sensitive nose. He goes in there now and is astonished — no smell. We are getting another for the kitchen! I also enjoy the nightlight. Very helpful without disturbing sick sleepy babies recovering from illness." —victoria Mohagen
Get it from Amazon for $74.99+ (available in black and white)
21. A sleek touchless forehead thermometer with an intuitive design that you'll want around with flu season fast approaching. It delivers a quick and quiet reading so you can get in, take your kid's temperature, and get out before they even have a chance to cut naptime short.
Promising review: "This is a game changer for our medicine cabinet!!! Works so fast and is much easier than having to put a thermometer under the tongue, etc. especially helpful with a baby and young child!!" —Rachel Morrisey
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in white and black).
22. A bottle of nail and cuticle care oil you apply like a clear coat of polish to give your nails all the cuticle-softening, nail-strengthening nourishment they crave year-round, but especially when temperatures drop.
I started using this stuff recently and my nails look presentable for basically the first time ever. It's no one-time-use miracle — you have to be consistent about application — but if you do, you'll be able to maintain happy, hydrated nails and cuticles with pretty minimal effort.
Promising review: "I had peeling, weak nails for years. Tried everything. I bought this in February. This size bottle lasted a bit more than a month with me religiously applying it two to three times a day. I was really seeing great improvement, so I bought another bottle in late March. By May, all the peeling had grown out and my nails were getting stronger every day. I then bought the big 4-ounce refill bottle because I never want to run out of it again! Cannot recommend this stuff enough!" —Diana
Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in three sizes).
23. A stunning 500-piece puzzle if you're looking to stock up on some cheery indoor activities to keep you entertained when the weather takes a turn for the worse.

Get it from our Goodful shop for $28.
24. A Shark Tank-approved Souper Cubes freezer tray so you can freeze and reheat individual servings of soup or sauce without defrosting an entire container and committing to the same meal for days on end so it doesn't go to waste.
Souper Cubes is a family-run small business with a passion for better frozen meal prep and food waste reduction! Plus, their products are BPA-free, dishwasher-safe, and it have fill lines on the side of the compartments for half and full cups.
Each cube holds one serving, or one cup, of soup or sauce! Plus, each tray comes with a lid that makes it easy to stack in the freezer even if you're short on space.
Promising review: "LOVE LOVE LOVE. My freezer is so much more organized now. Gone are the days of having to defrost an entire bag of chicken broth for one cup for a recipe. I now have perfectly portioned 1/2-cup and 1-cup blocks ready to go. They fit easily in freezer bags, take up less space, and make me incredibly happy. There was a lot of attention to detail put into the design and I particularly appreciate the wire inside the rim that holds everything steady — no more worrying about spilling all the liquid on the way to the freezer. Just a fantastic product all around. I purchased this and a cheaper version from another manufacturer at the same time but returned the other product. This one is definitely worth the added cost." —Kate
Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in three colors).
25. A UV-free sunlight therapy lamp because less daylight can take a toll on your mental health, and a little sun simulation can go a long way toward helping you not feel so utterly drained before, during, and after the workday.
Read more about how light therapy can potentially help with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) from Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "I was extremely skeptical if this light would do anything. I live in the Chicago area where during the winter we often do not get any sun. After about 10 days passed with no sun, I felt like I needed something to make me feel better. After using it for a few days now I actually do feel better and I had VERY low expectations that it would do anything. I'm pleasantly surprised and highly suggest it. It's small and sits on my desk, and is very easy to work." —Jeff S. Katz
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in three colors).
26. A cotton dickey collar for layered look lovers who hate the hot, sweaty reality of actually wearing a shirt under your sweater. Now you can get that polished collared look without the all the bulk and overheating.
Promising review: "It’s a good value, fits nicely in the 'V' of a sweater. The underarm straps are comfortable and a nice addition to the dickey of the old days. The length is long enough for a deeper V sweater but would not work for a button down cardigan sweater. For the money don’t hesitate to give it to try." —Duffy
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in four styles and in multipacks).
27. A pair of magnetic grill lights if you're not about to let a silly thing like an early sunset get in the way of your grilling adventures and the best kabobs on the block.
Promising review: "I used these for the first time the other night and they were exactly what I wanted. I often tend to grill after dark and I can’t see what’s on the grill, but not anymore. These light up the entire grill surface area perfectly. Would definitely buy again." —Flossie DeGrave
Get a pair from Amazon for $19.97.
28. A wedge gutter scoop that'll spare your hands from the terrifying sludge fest going on in your gutters and get all those dead leaves and mud out of there without, ya know, actually touching it.
Promising review: "Great tool and time saver. Used for the first time yesterday and it worked great. It scooped up dirt buildup and leaves easily. Well built and sturdy. Did the whole house in record time. It helps to pack leaves in scoop before removal. It is necessary to tilt towards roof to get past shingles. Very happy with my purchase." —Chuck E.
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
29. A detangling kids leave-in conditioner to tame frizz, hydrate curls, reduce breakage, and just generally decrease the amount of time spent fussing over your kid's hair — something you'll both be grateful for during those busy school day mornings.
Promising review: "My daughter’s curly hair is usually filled with tangles in the morning because she tosses and turns in her sleep, but this leave-in has been an absolute lifesaver. It is lightweight, adds shine and definition to her ringlets, and best of all, it’s much easier to run a brush through her hair in the morning. This spray also has a fruity scent that my little girl loves. I highly recommend it to other moms." —AME
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
30. A can of versatile anti-skid acrylic paint that's designed to adhere to most surfaces so you can give everything from those dingy brick steps to your concrete patio the functional face-lift it needs to see you through any upcoming wet weather.
Promising review: "I tried several paints on my mom's deck stairs and they all peeled within a year. This paint solved the problem. Heat, sun, rain, snow, no problem. And it really adds a nice grip to the surface. Definitely worth the investment for me." —DL
Get it from Amazon for $42.50+ (available in two sizes and six colors).
31. A creamy paw butter for furry friends who also suffer from dryness this time of year. Apply this oatmeal-scented blend before and after walks to nourish chapped, cracked pads (and snoots) and make all your dog park friends wonder how you got your pet's paws looking so good.
Promising review: "This product delivers. The scent is delicious and irresistible even for humans. The dog felt pampered and special and his paws felt smooth. This item is a must-have for dog owners who take their dog into the woods, or running, etc. Great product!" —South Kakalaki Family
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
32. And the ever-reliable O'Keeffe's Working Hands cream if your dry, cracked human hands also need something a little stronger than the average moisturizer this time of year. This famous formula locks in hydration, while creating a protective barrier to prevent future moisture loss.
For best results, you should apply the cream after washing your hands, after showering, and at bedtime.
Promising review: "I live in a dry climate, which often leads to small painful cracks on my fingers almost all year round. This product is unlike anything I’ve used in the past. If you have dry, sensitive, thin skin on your fingers and hands, I highly recommend using this item to avoid experiencing this problem." —dlswimmer
Get it from Amazon for $9.98.
33. A battery-operated fabric shaver that'll help rescue well-loved knits from the horrors of aging — lint, matted fibers, and pilling, oh my! It's like a tiny vacuum; just empty the detachable lint catcher when you're done and enjoy your revitalized sweater.
Also, be sure to pick up two AA batteries! They're not included.
It kills me inside when I see a favorite sweater start to pill, so I bought this exact shaver to spruce up some of my older knits. It's great and weirdly relaxing. When I first got it I was de-pilling everything, from the intended sweaters to the throw pillows on our couch. It's a little loud so your roommates may or may not come out of their rooms to see what you're doing...but it's totally worth it to make any pilled fabric look years younger.
Get it from Amazon for $12.66+ (available in six colors and two styles).
