Kick back with a frothy PSL and join me in kissing summer goodbye.
I'm obsessed with candles, so it was a no-brainer for my husband to gift me this surprisingly super-fun gadget. It's really simple to use and charge, and it really works! I'll never have to buy another lighter again.
Promising review: "This is seriously the coolest device of my winter holiday. It makes lighting candles a breeze. Yes, there is a weird crackling noise, but that's a super-minor annoyance. It's a super-intuitive device. Plug the lighter in with the USB (included), charge for a bit, then pop it open and light ALL THE THINGS; well, candles. I don't know how well it lights cigarettes or whatever. However, for my personal intended use, it's awesome!" —Jee W

Yes, I have it. Yes, it smells amazing. I'm not really sure what I'd expect Draco Malfoy to smell like, but if he *does* smell like this candle he smells pretty darn delicious.
Promising review: "Bought this as a three-wick candle, and came back a week later to buy it in single wick, too! This truly is the perfect early fall scent! It’s so fresh and complex and just makes the whole house smell cozy and warm!" —medic61

It's the thinnest and lightest Kindle Amazon has released to date! And — as is made abundantly clear by the photo above — it's 100% waterproof. I'm typically a hardcover girl through and through, but I recently gave the Kindle a whirl. It's very convenient to be able to slip it into any bag without it taking up much real estate and the transition between pages is very smooth.
Promising review: "I love the fact that I can read on this Kindle in both daylight and dim-light conditions. It is so light and compact, which makes it easy to hold, easy to travel with, and the battery lasts forever. I love it." —Amazon Customer

I was gifted a year of Book of the Month for my birthday one year and to date it is one of the best things I've received. There are few things as satisfying as getting truly lost in the pages of a good book — and it'll provide for a great distraction for your mind. Each month you'll be permitted to choose one of four books, all of which are different genres. Then the book you selected will be delivered to your door. Magic! Excuse me, I need to re-up my subscription.

For some reason I tend to push my pillow away in my sleep and wake up lying beneath the pillow — which is *not* great for my neck. This pillow changed that for me. It's firm enough to make my head feel supported but soft enough to feel nice 'n' snuggly.
Promising review: "I really love this pillow. I know this sounds super dramatic, but it’s changed my life LOL. I used to wake up with tension headaches and severe neck pain and now I don’t." —China J.
Get it from Layla Sleep for $109+ (available in queen and king sizes).
Promising review: "Bought this for my girlfriend and she absolutely loves it!!! She loves how comfortable it is, how supportive it is, how it stays cool, and how you can practically sleep with it however you choose to. The only downfall…the pillow has taken my place! LOL!!" —Zo
Get it from Yana Sleep for $199.
Promising review: "These blackout curtains are awesome. If not for these, my baby wouldn't be taking longer naps during the day. Since I got these I was able to establish a routine with my little one. These curtains will not make the room pitch black so I have to tape them to the wall to make the room darker. It gets the job done and that is good enough for me. When my baby takes his 45 min or an hour nap, I can do housework, shower and take care of our dog. If you have a baby who won't nap longer than 15 mins, get these curtains! Trust me, it will change your life! I love them so much that I ordered a couple more for the grandparents' house." —E. Champion

You can order this with or without the sand and rocks. The only thing that you will need to purchase separately is the 2.6-oz gel fuel cans, which you can get from Amazon. 1Man1Garage is a small business based in Nashville, Tennessee.
Promising review: "Soooo cute and easy to put together. We bought a clear spray to put on to protect it and because we actually really liked the look of the burned side. Boyfriend and I bought it to make s'mores for Valentine's. It was a perfect night in." —Bethany Schneider

Olive & June is my go-to nail polish brand! It's a small business co-owned by two incredible women who clearly know what they're doing when it comes to manicures. The polish stays on for over a week, and when you purchase the full kit, you'll also find yourself equipped with tools to pull off a flawless mani. The Mani System comes with a cleanup brush, a polish remover pot, a nail clipper, a nail file, a nail buffer, the Poppy (used to hold bottles more comfortably), a glossy topcoat, a cuticle serum, and one nail polish of your choice. My favorite tool is the little brush, designed to help you clean up your cuticles after inevitably getting polish all over 'em. The fall version also comes with a cute notebook and pen! Treat yourself — you won't be disappointed.
Get the Fall Box from Olive & June for $80 or the six new fall colors for $56.

Promising review: "These boots are SO comfortable, but you have to get through the breaking in period! These are tough leather boots, folks, so of course they’re going to be hard to walk in at first but they will last you for YEARS! Sometimes it could take a month to break them in but please don’t give up. These will be your go-to boots for style and comfort. Definitely worth the money." —Blaze

My mom is a slipper fanatic and Dearfoams have always been her go-to. We've literally been buying her them for as far back as I can remember — and I've finally figured out why! They are *so* soft and cozy in addition to be affordable. What more could you (and your toes) wish for?
Promising review: "I wanted to replace old slippers since I'm wearing them much more while working from home, and I'm so glad I settled on these! I've hardly taken them off in the several days since they arrived. They're perfectly cozy and keep my feet warm without being too hot on more mild-temperature days. They look great, too; I love the tan suede look. The soles are solid enough there's some support, and I can run outside to the mailbox or trash can in them. But they're not super bulky, so they're still comfy to wear around inside all day." —Tigs1781
Get them from Amazon for $35+ (available in women's sizes 6–11, in regular and wide widths, and six colors).
I invested in one of these last year and I'm so glad I did — I use it to make lattes at home and have saved a lot of dollars without having to run out to Starbucks every morning (just...once a week or so instead hehe).
Promising review: "OMG, this milk frother makes my homemade latte taste like it was made by a barista. It was perfect. So perfect that I bought a second one for my brother who loves coffee to use. I've already recommended it to some coworkers. It has changed my coffee-drinking life. This comes highly recommended." —Michelle Pirestani
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 40 colors/designs).
All you'll have to do is fill it with water, add a few drops of essential oils, and enjoy as your room fills with zen-like scents. I recently snagged one of these for my new home and can't wait to test it out — I'm a big fan of diffusers but hate how stark white and clunky they tend to look. This one will seamlessly fit in with more modern home decor.
Get it from Vitruvi for $119 (available in eight colors).
This is the bestseller collection, which features chocolate chip, rainbow sprinkle, cookies and cream, and chocolate s'mores. I've tried Doughp products myself and can confirm they are freakin' delicious. They can be stored in the fridge as-is for four weeks or frozen for up to a year. BuzzFeed editor Bek O'Connell also loves this brand. She said:
"I love Doughp! The cookie dough is so amazing raw that's it's pretty rare for me to actually take the time to bake it. I love being able to keep a pint of Doughp in the freezer and always have the ability to bake a cookie or two when the craving hits. This is sure to be a hit with anyone who used to buy the Pillsbury cookie dough tubes from the grocery store and eat it like a Go-Gurt."

If you're not ready for pumpkin spice season, please keep that to yourself and let me HAVE THIS. Anyways, I received a sample box of Tea Forte's Pumpkin Spice Tea and immediately wanted to crack it open and create my own version of a PSL at home. The tea was simple to brew thanks to its pyramid-shaped bag (no messy loose leaves). I added some frothed milk and a dash of cinnamon and was happily surprised by how close it tasted to the real thing! You can find me hunkering down with my favorite mug filled with this drink for all of ~spooky szn~.
Get a box of 10 from Tea Forte for $24.
If it were up to me, I would leave my Christmas lights up inside my home all year long. These twinkle lights are a great way to create that look without being overtly holiday themed. Tinker Bell would certainly approve!
Promising review: "I saw a few pictures online of fairy lights with sheer curtains and loved the look. These lights in particular are perfect for what I was looking for. It gives off a warm, cozy glow and really adds a nice touch of oomph to the room." —NG

I have one of these and it's my favorite thing to unwind with at the end of the day. I have an anxiety disorder and can often find myself feeling really worked up and typically have physical symptoms like feeling restless. The weight of this blanket helps me to soothe my body and loosen up a bit.
Promising review: "This blanket is great. The material is soft and comfortable. The weight is perfect. What I love the most is that there are no beads used for the weight. I had a previous weighted blanket that the beads came loose after just a few weeks, making the blanket useless. This blanket makes you feel like you are wrapped in a soft hug. I sleep so much better and do not wake up as often. I highly recommend this blanket." —Jennifer M.
