    38 Fast-Acting Products That'll Help Solve Some Of Your Biggest Fall Problems

    Iced coffee lovers, meet the Java Sok, your cold fingers' new best friend.

    1. A Java Sok, aka a reusable iced coffee cup insulator you can use to keep your drink cold *and* your fingers from freezing off. I know some of y'all are the type who are still chugging iced coffee in the hail and I humbly offer you this method to continue your stubborn behavior as the temps drop.

    2. A portable paw cleaner with soft silicone bristles to help gently remove mud and dirt from your doggo's paws after they go on muddy fall walks with you. All you have to do is add a little water to it, insert your dog's paw, twist, then pat the paw dry and repeat.

    3. A shampoo scalp massager to counteract the dryness and flakiness some people get on their scalp when the weather cools down — this helps massage at the root to keep your scalp squeaky clean and encourage hair growth. Psst — a lot of reviewers mention this has also helped with psoriasis, dandruff, and scalp tenderness!

    4. A set of discreet stick-on dress weights to keep your skirts and dresses from billowing in those gusty autumn breezes. These are designed with an adhesive that stays plenty sticky, but won't damage delicate fabric.

    5. A pair of warm wireless sleep headphones perfect for keeping your ears warm on cold-weather walks and runs once the autumn breezes start blowing — 110% would not be surprised if half the neighborhood outfits themselves with them by the end of the season.

    6. A bunch of Miracle-Gro "food spikes" you'll be glad you stocked up on once your plants start to wilt from the lack of summer sun — this can bring plants as sad as the tree from A Charlie Brown Christmas back from the brink of death, and then will continuously feed them for 30 to 60 days as a bonus.

    7. A popular water-resistant Under Armour face mask designed to withstand any kind of fall weather, particularly the cold and rainy. Bonus: It's plenty secure but sits off your lips, giving you plenty of room to breathe without getting fabric sucked into your mouth.

    8. Or a 3D mouth bracket you can clip to the inside of your face mask to keep you from breathing in fabric, which is *especially* handy if you get fall allergies or get stuck in the rain a lot.

    9. *Plus* a popular streak-free anti-fog spray you can quickly apply to eyeglasses, sunglasses, and face shields to prevent them from fogging up in the cold weather (especially when wearing a face mask!).

    10. A set of slow cooker liners so you can finally go *ham* with all those hard-to-clean tailgate recipes in your slow cooker that you stopped making after a half hour of prep led to an hour of soaking and scraping the remnants clean.

    13. An allergy relief rollerball made with a blend of grapeseed, tea tree oil, and lemon oil that may help ease allergy symptoms when your regular solutions aren't quite cutting it. Excuse you very MUCH, pollen.

    14. Plus an air purifier for anyone prone to fall allergies or sniffles — this comes with a HEPA filter *and* a UV light sanitizer to cover multiple bases. Between eliminating germs, filtering particles like dust, smoke, and allergens, and tackling odors in your home, it's basically three machines in one.

    15. A suuuper popular Bio-Oil made with vitamins A and E, chamomile, and lavender to help soothe any dryness from the outdoors as the weather starts to cool down. You may also recognize it as a product a lot of people use to help fade scars (both old and new), soothe cracked and dry skin, and help moisturize without affecting your pores, so it's got a bunch of other bases covered, too.

    16. A rechargeable hand warmer complete with double-sided heat and three different heat settings depending on how chilly the weather gets when you're outside admiring the foliage.

    17. A pack of NeuroGum to help with the weird afternoon work slump you get once the sun starts peacing out earlier in the evening. This is made with a blend of caffeine and nootropics, designed to give you energy five times faster than regular coffee — without jitters or sluggishness afterward.

    18. A waterproof pouch to keep your phone and other "doesn't play well with water"–type gadgets safe against unexpected rain during fall hikes and camping trips.

    19. An insulated weatherproof and soundproof strip that easily sticks to the outer rims of your door, keeping the autumn chill from leaking in (*and* the $$$ heat from leaking out).

    20. A knee stabilizer band for relief from knee pain that only seems to get worse when the temps start dropping. This is also handy because its small profile lets you easily wear it over pants.

    21. A jar of internet-beloved The Pink Stuff to instantly tackle all your miscellaneous fall stains, from hard-water stains brought on from the cold to caked on mud to the grime in your gutters. This is super handy for kitchen and bathroom messes as well!

    22. A delightfully sturdy windproof umbrella that you can open and close with the mere flick of a button, making you feel a little bit like a wizard every time you walk in and out of your place during autumn drizzles.

    23. O'Keeffe's Working Hands Hand Cream, an affordable concentrated moisturizer for dry, cracked, or bleeding hands brought on cold weather that actually *does* all the stuff the high-end brand names claim they're going to do.

    24. A delightful little tool called the "Bug Bite Thing" that suctions on all kinds of bug bites to reduce swelling, itchiness, and redness if you happen to get bit on your fall adventures.

    25. A satin-lined Hairbrella that's got your back (and head) all autumn long — it protects your hair against rain, snow, humidity, and pretty much anything else the season can throw at you, so you don't have to spend an extra 10 minutes staring out the window waiting for the rain to die down before you leave your house.

    26. A big ole set of leaf scoops to make you feel more powerful than Thanos himself when it comes time to do outdoor chores, which suddenly just got 80,000% easier and more fun with these.

    27. Or a reliable electric leaf blower for anyone who wants to go to CLOWN TOWN on the dead foliage in their yard (and accept their next Pokémon evolution, which is Person Who Wakes Up the Neighborhood With a Leaf Blower on Saturday at 8 a.m.).

    28. A blister-preventing balm that basically magics an extra layer between your skin and your shoe, so you can go on all your fall hikes and jump on crunchy leaves without worrying about breaking in your new boots.

    29. An LED dog collar that'll come especially in handy for evening walks when it starts to get dark out faster — this not only makes your dog more visible to cars and passerby, but will make it easy to find them if they go full "SQUIRREL!!" in the backyard and gallumph away.

    30. An appropriately named "Butt Be Dry," which is basically a lightweight fanny pack that unfurls into a small waterproof, mud-proof tarp for your tush, so you can park it wherever you need. Basically, wet benches and muddy grass at parks or sporting events just became free sitting game again.

    31. A ridiculously popular set of breathable, cooling bedsheets you'll especially love in this transitional fall weather, since they'll keep you warm but never *too* warm. These are so beloved they've amassed over 98,000 5-star reviews (and come in so many colors you could build a rainbow).

    32. A scent-free, cordless Thermacell mosquito-repelling shield that claims to be six times more effective than 42 (!!) citronella candles at keeping the pesky critters off your back porch and yard during autumn hangs on the porch. It generates heat to disperse deterrent from a repellent mat, which gives a 15 feet worth of protection for 12 hours — all without a trace of DEET.

    33. A selfie ring light you'll be especially grateful for once the 4 p.m. Zoom meetings you take by the window are in pitch darkness, thanks to my frenemy daylight saving time.

    34. A reusable Swiffer duster head to easily tackle the cobwebs from new friends sneaking inside during the fall and help mitigate dust allergies — this is made with a nonfraying fleece fabric built to pick up dust more effectively and at a broader range than the OG version, thanks to the static it naturally generates.

    35. A waterproof and portable inflatable lounger so you have somewhere to sit watching hometown football games or relaxing during a day hike without getting all mucked up in the grass. It's *super* easy to use, too — you literally just hold on to it and snap it into the air, letting the wind fill it up. Boom, chair.

    36. A lightweight, 13-foot-tall extendable fruit-picker tool to make you the envy of anyone within 50 feet of you in an apple orchard. Not only is this a safer alternative to ladders, but it also keeps your fruit cozy and safe with a little foam cushion at the bottom of the claw to prevent it from bruising.

    37. A bottle of clear "Shoe Goo" to help revive last year's boots so you can put 'em to work all autumn. Once this subtle glue dries, it locks the shoe back in place, *and* is totally waterproof and weatherproof to ~boot~.

    38. A weatherproof connection box for anyone whose backyard needs a little ~autumn ambiance~ — this will protect your fairy lights for evening porch hangs, your 8-foot giant Halloween dinosaur blowup, and whatever subsequent (but nowhere near as important) holiday decorations you're putting up this year.
