1. A cozy oversized sweater because the sun is great and all, but so is not sweating every time you take a step outside. Now you can look mysterious donning this asymmetrical-hem sweater, perfect for pairing with jeans or leggings on fall outings.
2. Perfectly placed fall leaf window clings reminding you the trees will be donning their seasonal orange and yellow hues soon and it will be LOVELY. These easy-to-apply clings will bring bright pops of colors to your windows, especially on a sunny day.
Don't worry about them leaving glue behind — they stick by themselves using static and come off just as easily. I put these on my own windows last year and it was super simple! They look beautiful, too.
Tip: It's a good idea to wipe down your windows before you put these on!
Promising review: "Really enjoyed the colors of fall with this set — you definitely get your money's worth, as there are so many to choose from. You can put fall up on every window in the house! They went on great, but more importantly, they came off super easy unlike the other brand I bought for Christmas. This brand's stickers were heavier plastic, easy to apply, and came off just as easy. Just keep the paper they came on, peel them off your window(s), and put them back on the sheet (basically in the same spot, as you can see the shape of each leaf). The colors and details were vivid and life-like. Very lovely." —Jo Anne Maarten

3. And some maple leaf string lights that'll let you enjoy the beauty of fall foliage even if you live in a perpetually green area and don't get to witness the changing colors yourself.
This garland runs on three AA batteries, so pick those up if you need 'em!
Promising review: "One of my favorite things about this product is that it's battery operated, making it easier to put anywhere you'd like! I was afraid that the leaves would look too fake, but I'm impressed. I can't wait to leave them out all season! The only thing I don't like about them is the light flickering option. It's a little distracting, but I want to keep them completely on anyway. If you're on the fence about getting these, I hope you decide on yes! Happy fall, y'all!" —Lindsey Tedford
Get them from Amazon for $7.99.
4. American Eagle's new Halloween graphic tees you can immediately start wearing since they're short-sleeved and lightweight. They have the cutest designs that'll ignite your excitement for spooky season while still enjoying the last days of summer.
I saw on TikTok that these were available and immediately bought the two pictured above. They're unbelievably soft and feel so high quality — the gray one's my favorite, but I love the white one too! I've been wearing them since the end of July (LOL) and will absolutely keep wearing them all fall with a sweater or jacket thrown on top! Note that they have an oversized fit, so if you're between sizes, I'd definitely say size down.
Get the oversized graphic tees from American Eagle for $26.95 (originally $29.95; available in women's sizes XXS–XXL and two designs). And check out their other Halloween tee designs!
5. A pair of Chelsea ankle boots to give your well-worn summer sandals (that are practically falling apart) a break — you might even end up loving these as much as your trusty Birks or Tevas. With a chunky block heel, lug sole, and stretchy elastic goring, these will go with all of your fall 'fits.
Prime members: you can try before you buy!
Promising reviews: "Fit great, looks cute. Even wore them on a few-mile walk and didn’t get blisters" —Laurence Grante III
"These boots fit perfectly. The quality is great so far and they are super comfy. GET these for fall!!" —BH
Get them from Amazon for $48.98 (available in women's sizes 5–11 and in 19 colors).
6. And nine pairs of soft knit socks for pairing with all of your cutest fall boots where they can peek out over the top, protecting your heels from rubbing while also looking classic and cozy.
7. Baggy overalls you can transition seamlessly from summer into fall just by switching up what you layer underneath on top. The cotton-linen material is breathable so you won't break a sweat on those warmer early autumn days.
Promising review: "I am literally obsessed with these! I have been wanting to order overalls for a couple of years now. I thought this was a cute way to wear them without trying to look too young. Spot on. I actually bought it as my lounging outfit. With all this time being spent at home with the recent crisis, I wanted something comfortable but cute so I’m not in sweats all day. Thinking about getting a couple of other colors. I would totally wear these out and about." —WamQQk
Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in sizes S–3XL and 19 colors).
8. A WoodWick "Fireside" candle — its enchanting scent and crackling sound will transport you to a cozy campfire on a brisk autumn night, surrounded by friends making s'mores and telling ghost stories.
Promising review: "I can confidently say that the WoodWick 'Fireside' candle is hands-down my favorite candle of all time! Its enchanting scent instantly transports me to the warmth and coziness of a crackling campfire. The moment I lit this candle, I was captivated by its inviting aroma. The fragrance fills the room with a perfect balance of smoky notes and subtle hints of wood. It truly evokes the nostalgic feeling of sitting by a cozy campfire, roasting marshmallows, and sharing stories with loved ones. The unique feature of this candle is the crackling wooden wick, which adds an extra layer of authenticity to the experience. The gentle crackling sound is reminiscent of the flickering flames, creating an ambiance that is truly mesmerizing and comforting." —Gabby Tess
Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in a medium or large size).
9. And a bag of potpourri working double time as a soothing fragrance (fresh apples, cinnamon, and citrus — yum) and autumnal home decor when you pour it into a bowl or vase. Nothing puts you in the fall mindset like filling your home with delicious seasonal scents.
BTW, Aromatique is a family-owned business based in my home state of Arkansas! I absolutely love their products; they're always really high quality and smell amazing.
Promising review: "Smells so good, and the apple pieces were packed very neatly in a separate part of the package so they wouldn’t be squished. The smell is just lovely!!! It’s a strong smell, too — not overbearing, yet strong (but strong to where you can actually smell it in the whole room)." —Amanda P.
Get it from Amazon for $29.50.
10. A faux suede mini skirt that'll let you ~feel the breeze~ on your legs while still embracing a classic autumn aesthetic, especially if you style it with a bodysuit or turtleneck sweater and knee-high boots.
Promising review: "I've had this black skirt for around nine months now, and it has become a staple in my wardrobe! It has very VERY small pockets, but pockets nonetheless, and it's very comfortable. The zipper is high quality, the material feels expensive, and I haven't noticed any fabric shrinkage or color fading! For me it hits around mid-thigh." —liv
Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 19 colors).
11. Some spook-tacular tea towels giving you an excuse to switch up your kitchen decor for the new season! These ultra-cute towels aren't just for looks; they're designed to absorb nearly seven times their weight in liquid and dry quickly so you're never reaching for a sopping wet dish towel.
Geometry is a small business created by two entrepreneurial brothers, Matt and Jason, who launched the brand in 2019 with the goal of combining both artistry and functionality in their home products. Their ultra-absorbent kitchen towels were their debut product!
Promising review (for Geometry towels in general): "Imagine a towel that actually does its job...absorbs, cleans, dries, and it looks cute!? I only own Geometry towels now, others just aren't worth having. All the other towels I have owned come out of the wash mangled and wrinkly. These towels come out of the dryer looking like new! Consider me a #1 fan!" —Kelsi Fullmer
Get them from Geometry for $18 each, including the Witchy Women pattern here and the Ghostly Greetings pattern here.
12. A peeler, corer, and slicer device in anticipation of fall baking!! Reviewers say it's a *must-have* for baking with and canning apples, allowing you to make quick work of that huge bag you picked at the local orchard in a fraction of the time. It's great for applesauce, apple pies, apple butter, apple preserves, and more. (Psst — it works for potatoes, too!)
It securely suctions to the countertop so all you do is turn the crank while the machine does the rest. When your apple is naked, it slides right off the core.
Promising reviews: "After years of hard work coring, peeling, and prepping to make homemade applesauce, I finally decided enough is enough. This REALLY works! And it functions just as described and is very high quality. I make a year's supply of applesauce in the fall and this has been a lifesaver this year. Wish I had purchased it years ago. Do not hesitate to buy this item for any of your apple and potato prepping needs, you'll not regret it. It stays anchored to the counter and does everything it is supposed to do." —Coyote
"I can apples every fall, and absolutely cannot imagine performing this task without this tool — it is a definite must-have." —Sonya
Get it from Amazon for $27.54 (also available with a clamp base).
13. A spooky season sweatshirt that's almost the next best thing to living in a bikini all summer.
Isla Haven & Co. is a Michigan-based small business that sells fun seasonal clothing, including tees and crewneck sweatshirts!
Check out this skeleton sweater on TikTok!
Promising review: "I love this sweater! I’ve been adding a lot of Halloween sweaters to my favorites, but never bought any. This one is perfect and fits my personality to a T." —autumn gilbreath
Get it from Isla Haven & Co. on Etsy for $29.18+ (available in sizes S–5XL and in five colors).
14. A soft muslin throw blanket you can use even through the warmer months because of how breathable and moisture-absorbing it is, but it'll also channel cozy fall vibes when draped across your bed, the couch, or a chair. 'Tis (almost) the season of curling up under this with hot tea and a good book!
Promising review: "This blanket is the most amazing thing ever! It is incredibly soft and lightweight. It is warm but not overwhelming. It looks great as a throw for decoration but so comfortable you have to use." —Fairykisses
Get it from Amazon for $37.89 (available in 10 colors and four styles).
15. A cozy pumpkin pillow that won't clash with your regular decor if you're ready to sneak in some fall vibes a little early. In fact, I think it's chic and subtle enough that you could leave it out year-round to cozy up your space — I mean, it's just too good to put into storage over half the year.
BTW, Pottery Barn's entire Halloween collection is incredible and I highly recommend checking it out. Like, I would buy every single thing if I could.
Get it from Pottery Barn for $29.50+ (available in three colors).
16. A metallic pleated maxi skirt for when temps finally start to drop — this shimmery option will help brighten gray days when the leaves are looking a little more brown than orange. Plus, it's way more versatile than you might think, perfect for pairing with sneaks and a sweater for casual days, then dressing up for work or holidays.
Prime members: You can try before you buy!
Promising review: "This skirt can be worn either fancy or casual. The shimmer on the skirt is just perfect: not too much and not too little. It really dresses up anything you wear with it. I purchased this skirt for my daughter's wedding, wearing it with a beautiful lace off-the-shoulder top. It looks stunning together. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to look amazing. LOVE THIS SKIRT!" —S Bozz
Get it from Amazon for $28.69 (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and eight colors, as well as a midi style).
17. And a stylish ribbed knit midi skirt stretchy enough to keep you comfortable on the go and warm enough to protect your legs on chilly mornings. A fall fashion staple and it'll be cool enough outside to wear it soon!
Promising review: "This skirt looks so good on. The color is perfect for fall and winter. I will be pairing it with sweaters. It looks expensive on." —Alicia Adams
Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and in 15 colors).
18. A pack of pumpkin carving tools — there's only one time of year when you can create works of art on big orange gourds and set them outside for everyone to see, and it's almost here!
This 13-pack includes six double-sided stainless steel detail sculpting, cutting, and carving tools, two sharp heavy-duty stainless-steel pumpkin scoop tools with a scraper, two sturdy tooth saws, two hole and circle punches, and one engraving pen.
Promising review: "There is a tool for everything you could possibly want or need to do. The set is very well-made, and should last a long time. Our pumpkin carving skills exceeded our wildest dreams." —LC
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two colors).
19. A canister of chai so you'll be ready to whip up a comforting sweet-and-spicy drink that'll make you feel warm and cozy on chilly mornings.
If you have a way of making espresso at home (like a stovetop espresso maker), you could even make yourself a dirty chai!
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Chelsea Stuart says, "Not gonna lie, I went on a serious reconnaissance mission at my local joint just to figure out what kind of chai they were using and lo and behold it was this bad boy! All you have to do is add water or milk (and ice if you want it cold) and BAM, you've got a chai that could go for $5+."
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two sizes).
20. And a set of five coffee syrups to further my point that autumn coffee flavors are superior. This set comes with 1.7-ounce bottles of caramel, amaretto, hazelnut, Irish cream, and vanilla flavorings so you can create your own coffeehouse-worthy drinks without stepping foot in a Starbucks.
Promising review: "This set is a coffee enthusiast's paradise, and my personal favorite from the collection is the amaretto flavor. These gourmet flavorings effortlessly elevate my coffee experience, and the amaretto adds a delightful twist that's simply irresistible. With a range of options that harmonize beautifully, each cup becomes a journey of flavor. This premium collection has turned my daily brew into a blissful and delicious adventure. Also love the glass containers!" —AMTZ22
Get it from Amazon for $18.48.
21. An oversized houndstooth knitted sweater vest serving major academia vibes — stylish enough for work or professional events, but cozy enough for everyday wear. You + this sweater in a coffee shop drinking a latte = a superior aesthetic, one you couldn't exactly rock during the summer.
Promising reviews: "I love this vest! It gives me a total vintage look. The sweater itself is already oversized, but I wanted a looser fit, so I went a size bigger, and I am happy with how it fits. Shipping did take longer, but it was very clear at the time of purchase the expected arrival date, so that wasn’t a surprise. I'm really thinking of getting more colors!" —Levi
"This product runs a little big so be sure to consider the looser fit. That being said, the material is amazing and it is very warm and cozy. It looks really professional and clean when paired with a white button-down. I love this item." —umbo
Get it from Amazon for $28.99 (available in sizes S–L and in 10 colors).
22. An apple cider bath bomb because nothing beats soaking in a hot tub with the warm aroma of apple cider drifting around you. Reviewers say this gorgeous bath bomb looks like a work of art in person!
Cocoa Bath Co. is a Fort Worth, Texas-based small biz from Karilyn Folker. This particular bath bomb features luxe ingredients like sweet almond oil and moisturizing cocoa butter.
Promising review: "My expectations were more than met! This bath bomb was absolutely divine! When I opened it, it was beautiful just as pictured, I was almost sad to ruin it when I put it in the bath. The smell was amazing — seriously just like apple cider — and the ingredients made my skin feel so soft I couldn't believe the luxury I was soaking in. If all your products are this great I WILL buy from you again! Thank you so much for such a lovely experience!" —Betsey Linne-Pack
Get it from Cocoa Bath Co. on Etsy for $12.
23. An Aspen self-warming bed if your fur babe is always looking for the warmest places to nap, especially on chilly days. This bed uses their own body heat and reflects it so they have a toasty place to rest at all times — including when you're not home to cuddle them. Basically, colder weather means you'll get to see them curled up in this ALL THE TIME. 🥺
Psst — this is THE pet bed, y'all. I can personally vouch for it for cats, though plenty of reviewers have shared pics of their adorable dogs curled up in it too (it comes in larger sizes)! My cats loved it so much, I had to buy two so each could have access to their own bed. That said, they don't really use it in the summer because it's too hot, so it's definitely more for the colder months. You can read my full Aspen cat bed review here (#13) for more deets!
Promising review: "This bed is absolutely perfect and so cozy for our 14-pound cat, Tuesday. He doesn’t use it much in the summer but for fall and winter, he cozies right up in it. I’ve felt it after he gets up and oh my goodness; it’s SO WARM! Absolutely recommend for any cat." —Smoore
Get it from Amazon for $19.74 (also available in larger sizes and a rectangular shape).
24. A loungewear set you'll have an excuse to practically live in once those chilly fall temps hit — you finally won't break into a sweat wearing anything more than shorts and a tank. Reviewers rave about how luxuriously soft these pieces feel and draw comparisons to Skims!
Promising review: "No joke, these are pretty much exactly the same as my Skims lounge set for half the price. The pants graze the tops of my feet even when I wear them high-waisted at my belly button, so I think they’re plenty long. The robe is like wearing a blanket, but still looks put together. Anyway, I’m back here to buy a second color because I loved them so much!" —Jenna
Get the three-piece set from Amazon for $53.99 (available in women's sizes S–XL and in 30 colors).
25. A vintage-inspired pumpkin tee that's giving late summer–early fall vibes and will be the perfect top for all of your pumpkin patch visits and photos this year.
Femfetti is a small, woman-run business based in Columbus, Ohio. They've been designing apparel and accessories with hand-drawn illustrations and letterings since 2013.
Promising review: "I love this shirt! So soft and looks so cute with jeans and Birkenstocks! It was right in my price range and honestly exceeded my expectations!" —Ashton
Get it from Femfetti on Etsy for $25.60+ (originally $32; available in unisex sizes S–4XL).
26. Some fairy string lights so you can make your home as cozy as possible before the weather outside starts to get wonderfully dreary. Yes, we'll miss beach trips and other summer outings, but you know what's also fun? Watching spooky movies with a warm drink in hand and these fairy lights twinkling around you for ~ambiance~ — being stuck inside isn't so bad after all.
Many reviewers say the cord is short, so you may want to add an extension cord to your cart if you don't already have one. You can layer them behind sheer curtains to diffuse the light a bit!
Promising review: "I love these lights! The settings are so much fun and add excitement to a room when you have guests. The light is so warm and makes it feel so cozy inside! I love to turn off all of the other lights in my apartment and just have these lights going when I am watching a movie. It creates a great warm glow but isn't too bright to wash out the movie. They are also a fun background for pictures!" —J_Thill
Get them from Amazon for $17.99 (available in seven styles and two sizes).
27. A 1989 (Taylor's Version) crewneck because if you need one thing to look forward to this fall, it's this highly anticipated album's (re)release on Oct. 27. Plus,1989 has major summer imagery so when you need to channel your favorite season's vibes, you can throw on this cozy crewneck and pretend you're on a beach instead.
Also, if you didn't manage to snag that viral blue crewneck at Eras Tour, this is a nice consolation treat for yourself?
Moody Babe is an Oklahoma-based small biz on Etsy that makes colorful, trendy apparel, blankets and more, with a ton of cute Taylor merch if you want to peruse their other designs!
Get it from Moody Babe on Etsy for $44.10+ (originally $63+; available in women's sizes S–2XL).
28. A pumpkin soy wax candle embodying the warmth and coziness of a fall evening spent indoors snuggled up on the couch. Light a few of these and just try not to feel excited about the new season ahead.
Le Bon Candles is an Etsy star-seller for a reason! Located in Liverpool, UK, these handmade soy wax candles are unique and downright lovely. They come in all sorts of themes, shapes, and (you guessed it) scents!
Promising review: "I am absolutely in love with these candles! I bought a candle plate separately, which they fit perfect on, they look so cute and smell absolutely amazing. They make my whole flat smell like autumn." —Crystal
Get it from Le Bon Candles on Etsy for $7.91+ (available in three colors or as a set of three).
29. A plaid blanket scarf because scarf weather is coming! It's a ~versatile~ option you can wear looped around your neck or draped across your shoulders like a shawl — it's even big enough to curl up under as a blanket when it gets chilly out.
Promising review: "This scarf is unbelievably soft!! Some blanket scarfs are kind of rough feeling, not this one, though! It's large enough that it can be folded and pinned into a skirt, styled around the neck, there are many possible ways to wear it! I love it and will buy another!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in 33 designs).
30. A gorgeous tarot card print set reminding you of childhood evenings spent watching Hocus Pocus — you'll probably want to frame and add them to your gallery wall right away so Winifred, Sarah, and Mary can overlook all your wicked activities.
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Mal Mower says, "I have these hanging up in my office! The illustrations are so rad. The paper is stiff and the quality of the print is great."
BTW, Neuer Geist is a small design firm in Salt Lake City. Their Etsy shop has risograph prints, apparel, and tarot cards with their one-of-a-kind artistic style.
Promising review: "Packaged perfectly, arrived right away, and I couldn’t be happier with these pieces! I love my new Hocus Pocus tarot cards! They are just so perfect!!!" —Julie Hullen
Get the set of three from Neuer Geist on Etsy for $20.
31. A ghostly glass tumbler so when you're sipping on your cold brew and fanning yourself during the final heat waves of summer, you can look at it and remember that spooky season and blessed cooler weather are almost here. 🧡
Promising review: "I ordered these for my co-workers for the 'spooky season' this Halloween. The size is perfect and the quality is amazing. These arrived in perfect condition and they were packaged really well with extra care. I'm always worried about ordering any glassware online and I will say, you do NOT have to worry about that with this set. The items were also just as seen in the pics and a very reasonable price considering how expensive these can be for just ONE on Etsy." —Sharon McCabe
Get a set of two from Amazon for $20.69 (also available in a set of four and other styles).
