We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A seasonally appropriate doormat that'll be the first thing your guests see before entering your home. It'll set the tone (especially if you have seasonal activities planned, like baking or spooky movies) and make them feel welcome right away!
2. And while you're at it, a gorgeous wreath to give your door a fresh, cheery look for fall and welcome visitors inside — its vibrant red berries and yellow leaves are just perfect for the season.
Plus, it comes with a white storage box so you can easily put it away and pull it back out next year without any damage. Reviewers praise the quality of this wreath compared to others available on Amazon! You can snag an over-the-door hanger for it too if needed.
Promising reviews: "I love this wreath, which is on my front door to welcome visitors. There have been positive comments from my neighbors." —Barbara Block
"Rich, vibrant fall colors — a wreath that is beautiful and highly visible close up or at a distance. I considered a number of wreaths on Amazon and other sites before selecting this one. As several other reviewers have noted, this wreath is lovelier than I had imagined, the prettiest fall wreath I’ve ever seen. It was packed in a nice box for storage, and requires shaping before hanging. I’ve hung it under a covered porch and plan to store it in a climate-controlled area to preserve its longevity. So pleased to have found this wonderful wreath and to learn about the Wreath Depot, indeed a quality company!" —DW
Get it from Amazon for $74.13.
3. A coat rack and storage shelf — if you don't already have a coat closet with room for guests' coats, jackets, bags, and shoes, this will prevent them from ending up piled in your entryway with colder weather approaching. Your visitors will appreciate having a dedicated spot for their stuff as they come and go, not to mention a place to sit and pull on their boots.
Promising review: "We desperately needed something to organize our shoes, bags, and coats as everything always ended up either on the dining room table or in a heap on the floor. I am very happy with this purchase. It was very easy to assemble, is very sturdy and seems well made, and looks great! It doesn’t take up a lot of room but has a lot of storage space available on it. I like that the hooks are removable, so you can place them where you want. Overall very pleased and would recommend." —Sam B.
Get it from Amazon for $72.99+ (available in five colors and two sizes).
4. Or a simple boot tray to place by the front door where they can kick off their wet rain boots and muddy high-tops so they're not tracking all the grime from their journey inside.
Promising review: "OK. I know you might be saying 'it's just a boot tray'... and yeah you're kind of right. But let me tell you that I am in LOVE with this mat. I want them all over my house. The rubber is PERFECT. Thick, durable, holds its shape but still super flexible. Way better than the plastic ones IMO. Size is awesome — holds three pairs of adult boots with room to spare. The ridges are deep, so wet shoes will actually be able to drip and get airflow to dry on the bottom, unlike others where the bumps or ridges aren't high enough and they just sit in a puddle. So easy to clean — I usually just vacuum it, but I anticipate the salty winter and muddy spring may require an occasional soak in the tub or hose off outside. I have complete faith this thing will wash up quick and easy. Honestly, the feel of it is just such good quality and it looks so nice that I bought a second one." —Candace
Get it from Amazon for $11.73.
5. A set of ultra-soft corduroy pillow covers for your couch or guest bed. It's a great opportunity to channel some warm fall shades into your decor, *and* it'll make the area more comfortable for lounging when you and your pals are catching up over some wine or coffee.
I own these in the orange shade and can vouch that they're *so* soft and not just for looks (but they look cute too!). I was so tired of getting decorative throw pillow covers that were cute but scratchy and not at all pleasant to lay your head on, and these fit the bill perfectly. They're a permanent fixture on my couch now and I've taken many a nap on them, and they'd be great on a bed too.
Promising review: "I bought the orange rectangular ones to go with some fall printed pillow covers. They were really just for decoration, but they are super soft and cozy! They fit very snug on the pillows I had. I really like them; in fact, I bought a square set in green to go with my Christmas decor! Would definitely recommend." —gb
Get a set of two 18x18 covers from Amazon for $14.99 (available in 23 colors and nine sizes).
If you're looking for affordable pillow inserts to match the covers, you can buy a set of two hypoallergenic pillow inserts on Amazon for $7.99+. For the fluffiest pillow, opt for an insert that's 2 inches bigger than your cover (so if you get an 18x18-inch cover, you'll want a 20x20-inch insert for optimal fluffiness).
6. A faux sheepskin rug to lay on the floor beside your guest bed or across a chair — anywhere you want to inject with some serious hygge. It'll ramp up the room's cozy factor to make their stay a little more comfortable, especially on chilly mornings when they first get out of bed.
If you've never heard of "hygge," it's a Danish word referring to a mood of coziness and contentment — which is exactly how you want your guests to feel, I'm betting.
Promising review: "Hygge! Need I say more? I purchased it to go on top of my ottoman just to add a bit of ‘cozy’ to the living room. It transformed the room. It’s soft and pretty but mostly it just gives the room a comfy boho meets modern meets scandi in winter look. Yep, it’s a keeper." —Happy
Get a 2x3 rug from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 22 colors and 12 sizes).
7. Some fairy string lights for your guest room or living room, because there's just something magical about what these do to a room at night. It'll give your space the coziest ambience that'll make your loved ones feel at home.
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.
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 the string lights in warm white from Amazon for $14.99 (available in five styles).
8. A spare throw blanket you can keep on your couch or at the end of a guest bed to add a soft touch to the room. It'll be there at close reach if your visitor starts to feel a bit chilly (or just wants to wrap up like a burrito during movie night), and it doubles as cozy decor.
Promising review: "This blanket...this blanket is AMAZING. I cannot stress how wonderful and superb this blanket is. SO SOFT. Running your fingers through the fur is relaxing and instantly releases stress you didn't know you had! I own a soft cat...this is softer than my cat. You climb into bed, and you can choose the less soft side, which is warmer, or the super-soft side, the fur side. So far, with it being winter, we've done the warm side in, with the fur on the outside...but I cannot wait til we switch it around and luxuriate in the pure cozy nature of it! It is machine washable too!" —Eileen Ulick
Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in 11 colors and three sizes).
9. And a leaning ladder for extra blankets and quilts so they can quickly throw on some extra layers for warmth if they need. It's also such a cozy-chic way to store and display them.
Promising review: "Looks similar to an extremely expensive one from Hobby Lobby. It’s lightweight and easy to put together and install. Comes with screws and anchors to attach to wall. The ends of the ladder on the floor have rubber stoppers to keep it from moving around. I have four thick fleece and fur blankets on it and it holds them just fine. Looks cute." —Sizemore Family
Get it from Amazon for $20.99 (available in black or white).
10. Or a cute cotton basket you can stash extra throw blankets in that'll be like a big pile of cozy next to your couch — that way there's always plenty to go around when the whole crew is over for the annual rewatch of Hocus Pocus. You can toss extra throw pillows or towels in this too!
I have a similar one in my living room and love having a spot to store all my extra blankets while still keeping them close at hand. Just a heads up that if you have any cats, they might make this their new snooze spot!
Promising review: "This basket is perfect for blankets. It came smooshed up in a bag, but shaped up easily when I put the blankets in it. It adds a perfect touch of coziness to my living room." —Laura Ragsdale
Get it from Amazon for $19.24+ (available in five colors).
11. A calming essential oil blend of lavender and chamomile to spray on your guest bed, couch, and pillows when you're prepping for a house guest — this light, clean mist will set the mood for relaxation and potentially even help them sleep better if they're staying over.
Asutra is a woman-owned brand with Venus Williams as a part owner — they create natural, affordable products from organic ingredients and believe in active self care.
Promising review: "I just received this wonderful product a couple of days ago and will never be without it again!!! It came just in time as I am freshening up my home to prepare for a house guest. I have sprayed this mist in every room and in the closets and after an outing yesterday I was greeted by a wonderful fresh smelling house. Not some overwhelming chemical smell left by the usual advertised unhealthy room spray. Just a healthy clean lavender freshness. Plus moths and other pests hate the smell of lavender; just another plus. Smells wonderful on your pillows and bedding and helps you sleep. You can't lose." —myfavorites
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in five other scents and in packs).
12. And an essential oil diffuser that's also a humidifier, because fall weather tends to bring drier air that's not pleasant for you *or* your house guests. It'll help moisten the air to a comfortable level and bring so much zen to your space, they might never want to leave. The gentle mist, glowing lights, and soothing fragrance will make your whole home feel extra cozy.
It would make a nice night-light for a guest room too! Be sure to snag some calming essential oils to use with the diffuser if you don't already have any.
Promising review: "Purchased for the humidifying capability, but have ended up using it as a diffuser as well. Note that 300ml lasts through the evening/night, so it goes for about eight hours before having to refill (the auto shutoff feature is very helpful). It comes with a handy 150ml measuring cup for easier refilling. Really powerful as a diffuser – my whole apartment smells like whatever oil I use for days after. Blends in with my decor nicely and runs quietly. The colors are a nice feature for anyone who wants to use it as a night light as well. Unlike other humidifiers I've seen, the plumes of mist are readily visible and pretty cool to watch. Overall, I'm happy with this purchase." —Wheatknee
Get it from Amazon for $28.99 (available in two colors).
13. Prismatic window film to add privacy if there are windows in your bathroom or if the guest room faces a neighbor's house — not only will it make your guests feel at ease; it'll also make the entire space look more beautiful. When the sun hits this film just right, it casts gorgeous rainbows across the room, and at night, it gives the coziest stained glass effect.
Promising review: "We have a spare bedroom for overnight guests. Unfortunately, the one window in this room faces our carport, which isn't exactly a scenic view. So we ordered this decorative film to tone down the eyesore view of the carport and still allow light into the bedroom. We were very pleased with the outcome. I will order another one if we ever need it in the future." —Steve Denny-1978, The Norseman
Get it from Amazon for $9.98+ (available in eight sizes).
14. A whimsical sheer bed canopy that'll make your guest bedroom feel like a cozy hideaway and add a lil' extra privacy too. Bonus: It can even help dull outside noise and hold in some warmth while they sleep, perfect for those chilly fall evenings.
Hang some vines, fall leaf garland, or fairy lights to really add to that fairytale vibe!
Promising review: "I first have to say, the best thing about this tent is the coziness and the feeling that I'm in a closed space in my bed. Works as intended and it's even renters friendly! I thought I was going to have to drill some holes in my ceiling but pushpins worked great." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three colors).
15. A set of thick, soft, 100% cotton flannel sheets to keep your loved ones warm when the guest bedroom starts to feel a bit chilly on fall nights. The breathable cotton has a velvety texture that'll feel like the softest hug on their skin.
Promising reviews: "Absolutely LOVE these sheets! So soft and comfy! Great to snuggle in during these chilly fall nights!" —Tami
"We live in New England and put flannel sheets on our bed every fall/winter. Our current sheets finally wore out, so we purchased these. Honestly, I wished we had purchased them sooner. These sheets are much warmer and softer than what we had been sleeping in. These are an excellent product and we are looking forward to many more comfortable nights of sleep." —Jared Bryant
Get them from Amazon for $22.78+ (available in sizes twin–California king and four colors).
16. And a pack of bedsheet suspenders so you can cinch bed corners tight and keep the sheets and mattress pad from sliding right off the bed, especially if your overnight visitor tend to toss and turn at night (and who doesn't when they're sleeping in a bed that's not their own?). Your new flannel sheets will stay nice and secure for the comfiest sleep possible.
Promising review: "These are definitely worth the price. My significant other and I apparently run marathons in our sleep, so the fitted sheet and mattress pad came off the bed without fail. We own a double pillow-top mattress and they haven't stretched out while holding a fitted sheet, (that shrunk in the wash), plus two mattress pads. They hold them firmly to the bed with no slipping. No damage has been done to the sheets, either." —Michelle
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in standard and extra-long sizes, multiple packs, and in black, white, and pink).
17. An air purifier for that guest room that's been sitting empty gathering dust for a while, or anywhere else in your house that could use some fresher air. This little machine captures dust, smoke, pollen, pet dander, and other allergens, plus odors that you might not even notice (but guests likely will). Once you see how nasty the filter gets, you'll wish you picked one up years ago.
It works quietly in the background to clean your air — all you have to do is replace the filter every six to eight months!
Promising review: "I can no longer imagine my life without these miraculous machines. I have three large(er) dogs and I continuously get complimented on how fresh and clean my house smells. None of my guests are bothered by any pet dander! It is truly a game changer. I leave mine running 24/7 on the highest setting and am not bothered at all by the sound, but the blue glowing light is not my taste so I keep it off. If you are unsure, go ahead and take the risk. I am SO GLAD I DID." —Victoria
Get it from Amazon for $89.99 (available in black or white) — clip the coupon to save $15.
18. A chic rolling bar cart that'll hold all the goods for mixing up your hot toddies and apple cider mimosas for a crowd. It'll also let them see all your wine and liquor offerings so they can help themselves!
Its wheels are also lockable if you plan to keep it in one spot!
Promising review: "I absolutely love my rolling cart. I used it as a mini bar in my apartment and it’s a huge hit when I have guests over. Easy to put together and doesn’t look cheap. Great quality for the price." —Melanie L.
Get it from Amazon for $139.99 (available in two colors).
19. A felt letterboard set so you can customize a cute welcome sign for your favorite cousin or long-distance BFF when they finally roll in for a weekend visit. It'd look cute on the above bar cart or in the guest room!
And when you don't have guests on the way, you can always use it to display your favorite quote or an inspiring message. The set comes with 300 pieces, including letters, numbers, and other special characters.
Felt Like Sharing is a family-owned small business that offers gorgeous felt letterboards and accessories.
Promising reviews: "Great quality, cute, and comes with plenty of letters! I bought this to use as a welcome sign in our guest room, and for cute sayings in our kitchen. It also worked perfectly as a welcome home sign for our new puppy!" —Jen
"Oh my gosh. It truly doesn’t get any cuter when it comes to decor. From the moment I opened the package I was enchanted with this product. It takes time and some small scrapbook scissors to cut all the letters apart, but worth the time so they don’t have the little nubs on them. Adorable! I debated giving this as a Christmas gift, but it’s so cute I’ve decided to keep it and get another one. I can’t wait to decorate with it! So many possibilities. Thank you!" —SRiteNow
Get it from Amazon for $28.95 (available in four sizes and 27 colors).
20. A set of 24 fall-themed wineglass charms to help everyone keep track of their drink — even after their first, second, and third glasses of hard cider.
Promising review: "I didn't really read the details on the product. However, I was pleased to find out they weren't as tiny as I thought they were going to be. Each print has a pair with a different shape, so it's useful for couples to identify theirs." —Heydy Saavedra-Pernesiglio
Get a set of 24 from Amazon for $15.99.
21. A charcuterie board set so you can lay out all your fresh cheeses and fruit from the local farmer's market while you catch up with friends in your living room, kitchen, or on the back porch. Sure, you could use any old platter, but this comes with everything you need to put together an A+ charcuterie board (and it'll look cute in the background of your Insta story).
It comes with an extra round tray, two slate labels (with chalk), two ceramic bowls for dipping sauces, and four slicing and serving utensils.
Promising review: "Bought the product as a present for my partner for the holidays. The charcuterie cheese board itself is great, and the ability to store the cheese knives was an excellent addition for transportation and to 'wow' people at parties. I was able to host twice with the device, and it often was able to hold around six to eight cheeses and cracker combinations reasonably well without feeling like the device is crowded. I also like how easy it was to clean, since the drawer used to store the knives can be easily removed. Finally, I enjoyed all the additional items that came with this set." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $39.99.
22. A set of four adorable coasters for when your pump-kin are dropping in for a visit and you don't want everyone's drinks to leave marks on your expensive furniture.
Concetta's Crafts is a Carlisle, Pennsylvania-based small business with a gorgeous collection of crocheted coasters, bags, cup cozies, and more!
Promising review: "I ordered the multicolored pack of pumpkin coasters and they are so beautiful! They are the perfect fall decor — equally cute and useful!" —Madeline
Get them from Concetta's Crafts on Etsy for $19.75.
23. A pet-safe fall candle that won't just make your home smell deliciously inviting — it's also free of paraffins, preservatives, and other toxic ingredients that no one should be breathing in, including their pup who's tagging along on the visit. The wooden wick makes this candle sound like a crackling fireplace when lit for ~peak coziness~.
Companion Candles is a woman-owned small business based in Chicago. Their candles are handmade in small batches with clean, organic ingredients, high-quality fragrances, and eco-friendly wooden wicks. A dollar from every sale is donated to an animal welfare organization of the customer's choice! You can check out their full fall collection here.
I've tried out several of Companion Candles' lovely products at this point and, as someone who's gone through a *lot* of candles, I really love them. These last you for quite a while despite their smaller size (the average burn time is around 40 hours). The scent is really noticeable without being too overwhelming, and my favorite thing is that they're wood wick candles, so they emit this really lovely crackling sound as if you were sitting next to a fireplace. My cats get a kick out of sniffing these and love watching them burn. It's also nice to know that they're not breathing in any toxic ingredients!
Get it from Companion Candles for $25.
24. A new shower curtain with gorgeous autumnal colors to replace the old stained one you've had for ages so your bathroom is in excellent shape for overnight guests. It'll give the entire room new life, and though it'll look lovely next to your other fall decor, it's pretty enough to stay out year-round TBH.
Don't forget to grab a new shower liner if you need to replace one that's starting to look gnarly. It'll make your entire shower area look and feel much fresher — because as a guest, it's no fun using a bathroom that looks like it's been *ahem* a bit neglected. This curtain does come with basic hooks, but I highly recommend grabbing two-sided hooks that hold the curtain and the liner separately if you don't already have them — they're much nicer and easier to work with.
Promising review: "The colors are gorgeous and visitors remark about how pretty it is. This is too nice to just be fall decor...it is staying up all year!" —Connie
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
25. A high-pressure rainfall showerhead to make showers feel downright luxurious, with an adjustable extension arm so guests can set their preferred angle and height (instead of trying to get clean under a narrow, awkwardly angled stream of water). It'll make their shower experience 10 times better while staying with you — and, of course, you'll get to reap the benefits year-round.
26. And a bundle of fresh eucalyptus that'll provide some luxe-feeling aromatherapy in a hot, steamy shower — and feel especially incredible if they've just traveled all day. Having eucalyptus in the shower can even help with congestion and allergies (the downsides of fall weather), and besides, it just LOOKS nice.
These bundles are put together and sold by Eucalyptus Blooms, a small woman-owned shop based in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Promising reviews: "Exceeded my expectations!!! I received my bundle quickly and it was packaged well. Very fragrant and I appreciated the hook that was included with the bundle to hang it right in my shower. I am definitely enjoying the aroma of eucalyptus as I shower." —Mcjunkinst
"Second purchase! And not my last! Love this added touch to our Airbnb bathroom! Smells amazing and great for seasonal allergies in our area! Such a gorgeous feature! Until next time!!! 🌿" —Natalie Espinosa
Get it from Eucalyptus Blooms on Etsy for $13.44+ (available in three sizes and in a bundle with two medium sizes).
27. A set of delightfully seasonal hand towels sure to make them smile every time they go to dry their hands. It'll just show the care you put into making your bathroom cozy and presentable for visitors.
28. A set of apothecary jars for your bathroom counter or shelf you can fill with things like cotton swabs, makeup sponges, soaps, washcloths, or travel-sized toiletries. It'll help your bathroom feel even more organized and inviting — guests will appreciate the thoughtful touch!
These are actually acrylic, not glass, but reviewers say you can't really tell unless you're up close, and it'll save you from cleaning up any potential breakage down the road.
Promising reviews: "I used these in my bathroom to hold cotton swabs, cotton balls, and rolled-up washcloths and I love them. They’re stylish, durable, and the perfect sizes for bathroom needs. They sit out on the counter and I get compliments from guests all the time." —Kristi Randel
"These are exactly what I needed for my guest bathroom. I really like that they are plastic and not glass as they have already been knocked over. They are very clear and you can't tell they aren't glass until you go to pick up the lids." —Kellie Bowen
Get the set of three on Amazon for $28.99 (also available individually).
29. A bottle of Poo-Pourri "Before-You-Go" toilet spray, because the last thing any house guest wants to do is leave a bathroom smelling gross for the next person to come along. As the name implies, you just spray a little of this before you go, and it eliminates odors while leaving a pleasant (but not overwhelming) scent behind.
Check out their Amazon store page for other scent options, including fall scents!
Promising review: "I’ve purchased this from the store before and this is the same quality. It does work. A few sprays into the toilet bowl and it really does help a lot. I leave it on the back of the toilet lid not only for personal use but for guests to use also — so they don’t feel embarrassed if they use the restroom and not want to be so obvious about their business." —Kimber
Get it from Amazon for $12.15.
30. A pumpkin spice reed diffuser that'll be perfect for placing in the guest bathroom or elsewhere in your home. It gives off a strong scent without being too overwhelming, according to reviewers.
Notes of freshly brewed coffee are blended with cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and ginger in this autumnal diffuser set that comes with eight reeds. It'll make your home smell incredible for up to three months!
Lorenzen Candle Co. is a small business that offers all sorts of seasonal candles and diffusers on Amazon. If you don't like pumpkin, they have other scents available!
Promising review: "This is my favorite diffuser I’ve ever had. The aroma is lovely and not overpowering, even in a small room. We got two and are using them in different sized rooms, both great. They are lasting for such a long time. I really like the look of the bottle as well. All-around great item." —Amazon customer
Get it from Lorenzen Candle Co. on Amazon Handmade for $26.99 (available in two scents).
31. An under-door draft stopper for the guest room so anyone sleeping there won't be disturbed by early morning noise, light streaming in under the door, or uncomfortable drafts on those chilly fall evenings. It'll basically ensure your guest room is the coziest little cave for them to relax in.
This one comes in four colors so you can match your draft stopper to the color of your door!
Promising review: "I have a roommate for the first time in a very long time. Our apartment is pretty small and she works from home, so she's up and moving around at 7 a.m. On my off days I like to sleep in, but the size of our apartment makes it difficult because I wake up when she wakes up. She also has a cat that likes to sit outside my door in the middle of the night and meow extremely loud so I've had a hard time sleeping lately. I usually stuff anything I can find under my door to try and help with the noise but it doesn't help much. I bought one of these a few nights ago...seriously worth every penny. The noise reduction is incomparable to the random articles I would shove under the door. It also keeps in (or shuts out) all light. Buy it!" —Brooke
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in four colors and two sizes).
32. A compact Bissell carpet cleaner, because it's time to address those mud stains on your carpet from people coming in and out all summer, traces of old pet accidents, and Dorito stains on your couch that you're a bit ashamed to look at. This TikTok-popular little machine will help you get your carpets and upholstery looking presentable before guests arrive — and let you erase any accidents that happen during their visit, too.
Promising reviews: "We had a lot of family and friends visit during the fall. Our living room rug took some spills. This worked great to remove not only the stains, but the unseen dirt from the entire rug." —Meghan
"I'm very impressed by the Little Green's performance, both on small jobs and slightly bigger tasks. It's taken the milk and snack stains out of my carpets in seconds, removed a pet accident completely with no odor or stain remaining, and removed stains from my car's seats and carpets that I couldn't get out no matter when I tried! I've also got all of the dirt/stains out of my microfiber couch and recliner with just a bit of elbow grease. Not bad for stubborn stains more than four years old! The machine is ready to go in under a minute. Seriously, all you need to do is unscrew the formula tank's cap, pour formula to the fill line, add warm water to the second fill line, replace the cap, and pop the tank back in. That's it. You're ready to go." —Sms103
Get it from Amazon for $123.59.
33. A bottle of Quick N Brite Fireplace Cleaner so everyone can gather around a crackling fire on chilly fall evenings without looking at soot stains and built-up ash from seasons past. This fireplace cleaning kit will have your hearth looking as good as new, just in time for cozy fireside chats over mulled apple cider.
Promising review: "Cleaned discolored tile in front of the fireplace, which is used almost every night during the winter. House is 70 years old. Followed the directions given on the product. Tile looks brand-new with very little effort!!" —kellyMReads
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in two sizes).
34. Clear fridge organizing bins to organize all your refrigerated goods so they're easy accessible before your guests arrive — the Oktoberfest beers and pumpkin ales in one bin, the apples and cheese for charcuterie in another. It won't just make your fridge look like something out of a magazine; it'll also help you get through all that expensive food you bought before it goes bad.
Promising review: "Ok, I'm a bit of an over-organizer (if there is such a thing). But my refrigerator was seriously lacking in organization. These beauties did the trick. No more fruit rolling around, grapes being crushed, cheese sticks everywhere, cold cuts hiding. I love them. And they make keeping the refrigerator clean easy, pop them out and rinse." —DLWH
Get a set of eight bins from Amazon for $23.99 (also available in other sets) — and clip the coupon to save $3.
35. Plus, a set of Rubbermaid food storage containers for giving your pantry the same treatment — this airtight, see-through storage is perfect for holding dried goods like pasta, beans, flour, and rice. It'll help them locate the cereal for breakfast and sugar for your coffee without needing your help, especially if they're staying with you for more than one day.
These BPA-free plastic containers are designed with an airtight leakproof seal with a secure latch to keep their contents fresh for longer. They're also designed to be stackable, making them space-efficient as well! You can also grab labels similar to what's pictured above here (because the last thing you wanna do is mix up the salt with the sugar 😬).
I upgraded to see-through containers for some of my dry goods forever ago and can't recommend it enough. It's SO helpful and looks great — I often get compliments from visitors on mine.
Promising review: "I don't know why I haven't done this sooner. I've been doing a lot of baking and home cooking to cut the cost of going out to eat. So I developed a big collection of ingredients that slowly started to get crammed into various cabinets. When I did my spring cleaning, I found that a lot of items were no longer fresh and I had purchased multiples of certain items because I could not see everything clearly in my cabinet. This totally changed that. When I received these they came in perfect condition. I tested each seal by filling with water and flipping over. I know these are truly airtight because my brown sugar is just as fresh as the day I opened the bag. No more rock-hard brown sugar! Yay! No issues with cracks or weird imperfections. I love that these are crystal clear. The other containers I was considering looked a touch cloudy, I guess the type of plastic they used? These are like looking through the cleanest of glass. I cannot wait to buy more and do my other cabinets." —Brooke
Get the 20-piece set (10 containers with 10 lids) from Amazon for $66.99 (available in multiple sets).
36. A two-sided tea stand so they can help themselves to the tea of their choice without rifling through the mountain of boxes in your cabinet — that yummy pumpkin spice blend will be right there for the grabbing. It takes up a fraction of the space and makes it easier for you (and any visitors) to find the exact blend you're craving for your daily brew.
You can choose between 80-bag or 120-bag stands with eight or 12 removable bins, respectively. Also, multiple reviewers split this in two to mount them all the way vertically as a DIY solution!

Promising review: "This container makes the shelf more visually appealing, and the organizer frees up more shelf space for other items, like sweeteners. It's a pleasure to take the unit out of the pantry so guests can may choose their tea at the table or kitchen counter, as it avoids the awkwardness of them having to rifle through the boxes whilst standing at the pantry door. I was concerned there might be an issue with the integrity of the attaching/detaching mechanisms of the little 'bins', but they appear quite sturdy. Easy to keep clean. In my opinion, it would be a good gift for tea lovers." —pdl

37. Small LED lights for placing underneath and/or above your kitchen cabinets for a neat glow anytime the lights are off — especially helpful when it starts to get dark earlier. Your guests won't have to fumble around for the light switch and blind themselves with harsh overhead light when they're going for an evening nightcap or a glass of water at 3 a.m.
You can program them to give off a classic white glow or all sorts of colors, and at variety of brightness levels. Of course, you could use these light strips in lots of different places for ~ambiance~, like around a TV, bar, or bookshelf.
Promising review: "We love our new strip lights so much that I decided to buy a second set. The first one was installed above the kitchen cabinets where we placed some artwork and vases. The second set was placed under the kitchen island top. Grandkids love speaking to Alexa to change the colors of the lights. Setup was extremely easy and it works with the Alexa app." —junin07

38. An instant stain remover spray to get your patio furniture in tip-top shape after a summer of sitting outside gathering dust, dirt, and mildew. This spray will help you easily remove stains and build-up without hard scrubbing — that way, you and your visiting friends can sit outside and chat while enjoying the crisp air and watching leaves fall.
Promising review: "It rains almost everyday during the summer in Florida. By the end of summer, my cool deck was green with mold around the perimeter. I was about to pay to have someone power wash my deck but found RMR-86 on Amazon. I purchased a bottle and sprayed all the areas that had mold and mildew. RMR-86 started working within minutes right before my eyes. It was like magic! I'm definitely getting more." —Marie Moore

39. Waterproof globe lights so your outdoor gatherings can continue long into the night, especially as daylight hours dwindle. Hang them along your roofline, drape them on outdoor structures, or just string them up solo to give your backyard the most magical vibe.
Reviewers note that you should remove the bulbs before stringing up the strands and then install the bulbs.
Promising review: "These look great. They put off warm light like you'd expect from this type of bulb...no waffling about whether you'll get 3000k or 6000k or burn-your-retina-blue LEDs; they put off a relaxing and romantic glow. In fact, we have them wrapped around three sides of a small walled patio/garden and they help physically warm up the space on cool evenings. Have been holding up well in the elements for a few months. They also came well packaged with a ton of cardboard dividers and flaps for each individual bulb." —warthorn

40. And finally, a propane gas firepit for hosting evening bonfires and roasting s'mores with friends in the chilly fall air. It's smokeless, so your clothes and blankets won't retain that lingering bonfire smell afterward, and comes with a handy UV- and weather-resistant cover for storage.
Reviewers emphasize how easy it is to set up and use and praise the ~ambience~ its light creates — perfect for channeling those cozy fall vibes.
Promising reviews: "This is a great product to buy. My children enjoyed roasting marshmallows and hot dogs. We purchased it just in time for the fall weather. We will be having more outdoor activities." —lakayla adams
"I just love this firepit. Living in a very dry, often windy place, I don't always feel like it's a good (safe) idea to do a backyard fire in my patio fire pit. This is a GREAT safe alternative. It's high quality, and the flame is perfect. It gives off a lot of heat and will be perfect for the cool fall nights coming up. Now I can have my little patio campfire anytime I want, with no worries. Last night we made s'mores with this firepit, it was great! It's awesome and exactly what I had hoped it would be. Super simple to assemble. Highly recommend." —Sandy B.
