1. A four-sided brush cleaner to help revive your fave fall boots that you haven't pulled out of your closet since you stepped into a pile of wet leaves last year 😖. You don't even need any additional cleaners to bring them back to life!
This brush has a welt surface, nylon bristles, an arched half-circle brush, and a protruding brush that lets you clean different kinds of suede.
Promising reviews: "I needed this brush for the suede shoes I've purchased this fall. It works perfectly! I like all the different sides of this little brush. I definitely recommend it to others who do not want or need a big bulky brush." —murr7
"Perfect for getting your Uggs ready for fall. It was easy to use and for the price, I could not pass it up. My family owns several pairs of Ugg boots (we wear them all year round, SoCal thing) and the kit from Ugg is virtually the same but three times the price. We were excited to use this to give our boots a little love and care. It worked; our Uggs don’t look as worn as they had been. Great product, glad I came across it." —Anastacia
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
2. A pair of slippers that you can just pop in the microwave when your freezing little toesies need an extra dose of warmth. You may find yourself living in these all fall long.

Promising review: "I did not know I needed these in my life but now can't live without them! Since I'm working from home, I'm sitting practically all day and my feet tend to get cold. With these, my feet stay warm and comfortable all day. Super happy and will be purchasing again." —Duran
Get them from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two colors).
3. An adorable satin-lined hat to keep your head warm while also keeping your hair protected and static-free. Bonus — the faux-fur pom-pom is removable for the days you're not ~feeling~ those vibes.
Honest & Faithful is a Chesapeake, Virginia-based small business that also makes their popular satin-lined hats for kids!
Promising review: "I have purchased several of these hats for both myself and friends and family. We all love them. They are just what we need to protect our hair. I love the color options, too." —Adenah
Get it from Honest & Faithful on Etsy for $20.50 (available in nine colors).
4. Some silicone heel protectors perfect for breaking in that pair of fall boots you've been dying to wear but *dreading* putting on. These will help protect your heel from rubbing against the back and hopefully put an end to making the tough decision between pain and suffering and having to return what could've been your new fave shoe.
Check out the heel protectors in action on TikTok!
Promising review: "I wore these for the first time, under socks, with a brand-new pair of boots. Normally, I tend to have a lot of rubbing and blisters on my heels, but at the end of the day, my heels were as happy as can be! I was worried these might be slippy-slidey in my shoes, but they did not budge and they added a nice, though strange, squishy feeling to every step. At the end of the day, my feet were not extra hot and sweaty (which was a worry of mine) AND I was blister-free. They washed very easily in my sink and are ready for another wear very soon. I told numerous co-workers about them, they are great." —heidis
Get two pairs from Amazon for $9.99 (available in two colors).
5. An insect repellent lotion bar to keep the nasty buggers away from you when you're just trying to enjoy a nice fall evening outside. And unlike so many other insect repellents, you'll *actually* like the smell of this since it's a mixture of beeswax, mango butter, sunflower oil, and citronella essential oil — and no, just because you like it does *not* mean mosquitoes do!
Seed Geeks is a small business based in Missouri that sells heirloom seeds and handmade skincare products.
Promising review: "I love the design embossed on the bar! It smells so good too! As someone who constantly gets bitten if I’m not wearing bug spray, I was excited to try out this more natural alternative. I’ve only tried it once so far, but it seemed to work really well! I highly recommend this!!" —Kelsey
Get it from Seed Geeks on Etsy for $6.49 (originally $12.98).
6. Plus an indoor insect trap because all those little bugs flying around the produce on your counter have gotten out of hand. I mean seriously, how can something that small be that annoying?!
Promising review: "Last fall I experienced a problem with gnats when I brought my house plants inside. I tried sticky stakes and placing vinegar and water in a plate to get rid of them. However, the gnats kept on coming back. I used the Katchy Indoor Insect Trap for four consecutive nights and it completely eliminated the gnats. A bit pricey, but this product worked very well for me." —David C.
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in two colors).
7. A shoe stretch spray for those boots you were *SO* excited to whip out for the fall season only to realize they're a bit too tight. Well, it's your lucky day, this spray is here to save the day!
My colleague Amanda Davis swears by this spray. Here's what she has to say about it:
"So, I have about three pairs of shoes that have just been sitting in my closet because while they are sooo so cute, the leather was too tight for my foot to comfortably get inside 'em. Did I return them? Nope. (We all know the hassle of online returns, right?) Instead I bought this shoe stretch spray on a whim. I didn't expect much but WOW! The shoes that took me a minute of struggling to get into fit *perfectly* now!!
The process was as simple as could be, too. I just sprayed my shoes (inside and out, heel to toe) like there was no tomorrow, I put on some semi-thick socks (just to ensure I had ample room later), and wore the shoes around my house for about 30–40 minutes. As I was walking around, I could literally feel them begin to loosen up.
After about 30 minutes, I took my shoes and thick socks off, and the shoes just ~slide~ on. Easy Peasy. Now I have a new favorite pair of shoes and zero dollars have been wasted. I tried these with a pair of chunky leather loafers, but I can only imagine what they'll do for my pair of Dr. Martens — the boots known to take a while to break into. This stuff is a must!"
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
8. A pair of extra long silicone oven mitts to provide your arms a little extra protection since we all know fall = season of baking. And who hasn't come a littleeee too close to hitting their arm against the [HOT] rack in the oven?!
Promising review: "These have by far been the best oven gloves that I have owned. They are slightly longer than traditional ones, and so protect your arm when reaching into the oven. I do a lot of baking, and with previous mitts, I have always been able to feel some heat through them. But not these! These mitts are great! And they have great grip, and because they are not bulky, they are easy to hold onto things without the fear of dropping (an issue I had with past mitts). I love these and recommend them to fellow bakers all the time." —Rebecca Bradley
Get it from Amazon for $14.49+ (available in two lengths and 11 colors).
9. A set of two ceramic travel mugs that'll upgrade those boring travel mugs you've been using. We know, you cannot leave the house on a chilly fall morning without a warm PSL, so grab one of these insulated mugs with a cork bottom that won't scratch any surface *and* a splash-proof lid so you don't have to worry about spilling as you fumble to get in your car cause you're running a litttttle bit late to your appointment.
Just be sure not to put this in the microwave or dishwasher or the cork might bid you farewell.
Promising review: “I have been searching for something like this for A LONG time. I make myself a fancy-ish coffee/tea every morning. I am someone who when drinking a hot beverage actually likes it to stay hot. So I typically drank out of a 'travel mug' while at home. But this is so much more satisfying. The ceramic is great, as is the rich color, and the cork is not only aesthetic but functional (no ring marks on your wooden coffee table or nightstand). In fact, you could say that about the whole mug. Aesthetic and functional.” —Warrior Poet
Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.39+ (available in four colors).
10. A set of hoodie hangers because sometimes you simply cannot resist buying another hoodie…seriously, there's something about wearing an oversized sweatshirt on a chilly evening that's just 👩🏼🍳💋. Now you can conveniently organize them in a way that'll look better *and* prevent any stretching.
Venalli is a small biz in Kansas that creates unique hoodies and accessories!
Promising review: "I'm obsessed with these hoodie hangers!! I have a really small closet, but I find these hangers are a great way to save space! They also make it super easy to throw your hoodie up in a rush or grab it on the go. I will definitely be buying more." —Sara
Get 10 hangers from Venalli on Etsy for $19.99 (available in two colors).
11. A Fellow electric kettle so you can brew the perfectly hot cup of coffee or tea at the ~exact~ temperature you want without needing a stove. Added bonus, this thing is gorgeous so you won't even need to find a place to store it — you can just let it sit out and serve as decor.
Promising review: "This kettle is beautiful. It adds a nice look to my kitchen. I love how it maintains its temp with a hold feature. I use it mostly for pouring over coffee and the occasional pot of tea. The handle fits comfortably in my hand for control of water flow. If you are looking for a well-made, good quality, solid gooseneck electric kettle... Then Fellow Stagg EKG Kettle is right for you." —Melinda P.
Get it from our Goodful shop for $165+ (available in 11 colors).
12. And a double-sided tea organizer that'll help you finally bite the bullet and get rid of the copious amount of mostly empty tea boxes that have been taking up your whole pantry.
YouCopia brand is a woman-owned small business!
Promising review: "Do I really need a tea bag organizer? That's what I was thinking when I ordered this... and when I took it out of the box... and when I filled the first little bag holder. But as the pile of empty boxes grew larger, I knew the answer was yes, I do need a tea bag organizer. I was using a whole shelf and a half of jumbled tea boxes that I had to sift through to look for a specific tea. In the end, I think this held about eight or nine boxes of tea bags (I crammed some of them). I am so happy that I got this!" —Sarah C.
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two sizes).
13. Some extendable roasting sticks so you can make some perfectly toasty s'mores without roasting your hand in the process. Plus everyone can have their own designated color so there's no fighting about who gets which stick!
Promising review: "These roasting sticks will get the job done. They retract easily and will be perfect for light use (roasting marshmallows) with our firepit. Not extremely sturdy but not flimsy either. The metal points are not sharp which is a good thing if kids are handling them. I like the storage pouch it comes with too." —Sheri J. O
Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two lengths and multiple pack sizes).
14. A nut collector that'll help you easily clean up all the acorns, walnuts, and even apples in your yard so you can get back to mowing your lawn without worrying about rocket launching an acorn halfway across the block or having to constantly stop to pick them all up by hand.
Fun fact: the reviewer in the right image picked up 250+ pecans in only 25 minutes with this thing 🤯.
Promising review: "This works! I have two large red oaks and one live oak in the front yard. They produce garbage cans of acorns. It is time-consuming but I like my yard to be pretty. Another option for me is to reverse my electric wind blower, and it grounds whatever it picks up and goes into a bag attached. I’m afraid I could damage it as there are so many acorns in the fall, so I purchased this. Best!" —Currie Covington
Get it from Amazon for $37.99.
15. A set of five coffee syrups perfect for anyone who has a lil' coffee obsession but has realized they may need to kick that $5 a day habit to the curb. Now you can make the same delicious treats at home for a fraction of the price.
16. Or if your heart belongs to one flavor only, a bottle of pumpkin spice syrup you can add to not only coffee but literally anything that could use a little extra ~spice.~ We're talking tea, milk, hot chocolate, baked goods, ice cream, or whatever else your pumpkin spice-crazed mind can dream up!!
Lynn&Gray is a small business based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. All syrups are made-to-order using local produce and herbs, and contain unrefined organic raw cane sugar.
Note: since this is made without preservatives or additives you need to keep it refrigerated and use within four weeks.
Promising review: "Amaaaaazinggg!! REAL freaking pumpkin. Hell ya! Not too sweet too. Gonna be buying a lot more of this. I want my PSLs year-round!" —flowerbraid
Get it from Lynn&Gray on Etsy for $10.52+ (originally $11.95+; available in two sizes).
17. A foldable mini pop-up tent so you can stop focusing on the fact that you're freezing your BUTT OFF and instead actually pay attention to your kiddo's soccer matches or football games. This tent (that was featured on Shark Tank!) is designed to help keep you protected from inclement weather and up to 35º warmer than the exposed bleacher seats.
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 four colors).
18. Budget-friendly waterproof high-top sneakers that'll keep you protected from stray puddles when you don't wanna end up with soggy socks but aren't willing to break out the full-on rain boots.
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 5–11, two styles, and 10 colors).
19. A Shark Tank-approved Souper Cubes freezer tray for the nights you just want a bowl of soup without having to cook up a whole freaking pot that could feed a family of five. Now you can premake and freeze your favorite recipes to reheat individual servings so you don't have to commit to eating chili every night for a week so you don't end up wasting it.
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, and dishwasher-safe, and they 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 and a two-pack).
20. An exfoliating luffa soap designed to help exfoliate away all the dead, dry skin that we all seem to be plagued with this time of year.
The Luffa Soap Co. is a small business based in Houston that specializes in handmade soaps. They even grow their own 100% organic luffa sponges, which they embed in the soap for some extra exfoliation.
Promising review: "I moisturize and exfoliate every day, but nothing has been as effective as this. The soap leaves my skin feeling so silky while the luffa scrubs off all the old dead skin cells and leaves a noticeable improvement. I’ve even used it on my face wrinkles. I have no idea why anyone would leave a bad review for this product." —Jeanette
Get it from The Luffa Soap Co. on Amazon Handmade for $8.88.
21. A window insulator kit to help keep the precious heat inside your room and the dropping temperatures out. Not only will you feel better, but you'll also be able to save money on heating. Goodbye drafty windows 👋🏻.
Promising reviews: "A must-have for an old drafty house in Maine. It is a fall ritual around our house, before turning the heat on, that all the windows need plastic. The Duck Brand kits are right for our house; we can do eight windows with one box." —Leave me alone
"After having used a hardware store's brand of this for years and dreading the install every year, I purchased Duck Brand this fall, and can't believe how much easier it was to install! This is thicker than what I used before, and the tape stuck so much better! Also, the film is really good and clear. It's a good idea to use an alcohol wipe before you install the tape, and then press it down really well (I let it sit for a while, too) before pulling off the tape liner. I did three windows by myself in just over an hour. Very pleased with this brand and will buy it again next year for sure! I'm very pleased." —Trillion
Get a three-window kit from Amazon for $16.55 (also available in a 10 window kit).
22. Plus, a nifty draft stopper so you don't have to worry about setting your heat to 77 degrees and still end up freezing. Keep those horribly brisk winds outside where they belong! Added bonus, if you have large gaps, this will help keep out any unwanted critters and dampen outside noises.
You can cut the pieces to fit your door too! Install couldn't be easier, all you have to do is peel the backing and stick it to your door!
Promising review: "Love this! Our new home has an older door from the '50s. Its sealant is gone but anything we've tried to do makes it impossible to shut the door. This purchase has saved us so far this fall and we are hoping it helps a lot this winter keeping the draft put under the door (as well as our neighborhood spiders trying to creep in)." —Kariss B
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in four colors).
23. A peeler, corer, and slicer device because you just went apple picking for like the third time this season and the thought of peeling and cutting even just one more apple sounds like the worst thing EVER.
It securely suctions to the countertop so all you do is turn the crank while the machine does the rest. When your apple is peeled, it slides right off the core.
I have one of these and not only is it incredibly easy to use, it's honestly so satisfying. My mom has had it since I was a kid and she would use it just to convince me to eat more apples because obviously eating fruit is more fun when it is perfectly peeled and you can play with it like an accordion. Once I got a little older, I started using it for baking pies for Thanksgiving and it truly is so helpful. No more fighting every slippery apple to stay in your hand while peeling and then having to cut sooo many apple cubes.
Promising review: "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
Get it from Amazon for $27.79+ (available in two versions).
24. Professional-strength Boot-Fix Glue so you can keep your fave boots for another season if you're not ready to part ways just yet. This extra-strong formula will reattach your sole by forming a bond that dries instantly and isn't affected by cold, heat, or moisture. So yeah, you can spend that boot budget on some extra PSLs this year.
Promising review: "Phenomenal. I didn’t think I would be able to put together my favorite boots, but my fix with these has held through moving, yard work in the country and soggy Seattle fall. Very happy! Note: Be really careful not to get this on your fingers." —Alex Buckles
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
25. A hat organizer perfect for your extensive collection of trendy fall hats. This is a great way to store them so they don't take up like half your closet AND you don't have to worry about them getting smushed and losing their shape. To top it off, you basically just got yourself some free decor, that's a win-win.
Dunn Rustic TN is a small business based in Nashville that creates customized watch boxes, ring boxes, home organizers, and more.
Promising review: "Absolutely loved this hat holder! It’s super cute, goes with my decor perfectly, and it’s such a fun way to display my beautiful hats! I got the smaller of the two beams." —Etsy Customer
Get it from Dunn Rustic TN on Etsy for $75+ (available in three sizes and three finishes).
26. A leaf blower/vacuum with a built-in mulcher that'll absolutely change the game when it comes to dealing with leaves and other debris in your yard. Change the function with just the flip of a switch, it's that easy. Yeah, you can go ahead and toss your regular leaf blower and rake.
It can chop up 16 bags of leaves so they fit into just one bag!
Promising reviews: "I really put it to work this fall. Did a fantastic job. What would have been 56 bags of leaves to put curbside, the Worx Electric TriVac reduced the bags to about eight or nine finely mulched leaves ready to use as compost. Very easy to use. Light. The blower is great, also. The only downside I experienced is that the debris bag needs to be replaced. The heavy-duty stitching on the zipper has come apart, making it very hard to close the bag when mulching. I will have to invest in a new one. Other than that, it is a great mulcher/blower and it is not that noisy. Highly recommended." —ADI
"This made raking my yard in the fall a thing of the past. I was able to use this on my entire yard with ease. I was able to fill 13 bags full when normally it would be about 20–25 bags. It's great!" —AznFury
Get it from Amazon for $94.53+ (available in three styles).
27. Or Leaf Scoops that make cleaning up leaves so much easier than with just a rake. Like seriously, you can get it into a pile and then what…like how are you supposed to transfer that pile to a bag?! These gloves will solve that problem and help you quickly clear out your yard so you can enjoy actually seeing the ground again.
Promising review: "It was that time of year when all of the autumn leaves were falling and the crummy fall weather was settling in. The ground and leaves were soaked with freezing rain water and we began our miserable task of raking and bagging leaves for community curbside pickup. These Leaf Scoops made picking up the leaves SO MUCH easier than messing around with different rakes. Simply rake the leaves into a pile, then put on the Leaf Scoops to pickup and bag the leaves. The scoops really help grab a large amount of leaves and also save your back from bending all the way to the ground. I would definitely recommend these to family and friends! Pair these with a leaf chute for your paper bags and you will be scooping and bagging leaves like a pro..." —brian
Get them from Amazon for $29.95.
28. Orrr a pop-up leaf collector to make collecting all your leaves, grass clippings, and branches a breeze. Just rake the debris onto the tarp, fold it up like a taco, and easily dump it into the trash…easy peasy lemon squeezy.
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 $26.95.
29. And a gutter cleaning scoop because even though you don't want to, you definitely *need* to clean all the leaves and other debris out of your gutter if you want to avoid a much larger issue down the road. This easy-to-use scoop picks up all the gunk while allowing water to drain so you don't end up splashing that gnarly spillage all over yourself.
Promising review: "I bought this with a little apprehension because I didn't know if it was going to work as described. But it fits perfectly in my gutters, and it is sturdy and works well. There's a small space at the back near the handle that lets water seep out, so you get mainly leaves and other debris from the gutter rather than splashing water everywhere when a gutter is backed up. This product is definitely as described by the seller, and I would buy from them again." —BJ A.
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
30. A vegan snout soother stick to help relieve the discomfort of your pup's dry and cracked nose. This plant-based balm could help heal any existing issues while also preventing future ones from arising.
Promising review: "My dog was experiencing a dry, rough nose this fall. I ordered this ointment to try and I was pleasantly surprised how well it 'melted' into the skin and was absorbed." —mom of 3 shooters
Get it from Amazon for $5.95.
31. Plus, a dog paw cleaning device made with soft silicone bristles inside to help gently remove mud and dirt from your pup's paws from all their running around in the yard. Just add a little water to it, insert your dog's paw, twist, then pat the paw dry.
Promising reviews: "The mud buster has saved me this fall! Our pup is a digger and comes in with muddy paws all the time. The mud buster has made it so much easier to handle and clean up!" —Szyhmkr
"It gets really muddy during the fall where I live and I am so thankful for this product. I fill it up with hot water before taking my dogs on a hike and leave the mud buster at the door for when we get back. By the time we get back the water has cooled down and cleans my girls paws beautifully! I’m going to have to order a couple as gifts for friends." —Ellie Mae
Get it from Amazon for $15.06+ (available in three sizes, eight colors, and with or without a lid).
32. A waterproof shoe tray to catch all the dirt and water and other messes your kids and guests track into your house now that mud is basically the ~vibe~ of the fall. Keep this tray by your front door and maybe, just maaaybe you'll be able to contain some of those messes.
33. Plus a washable door mat you can keep right inside your door so the first thing anyone does when they walk in is wipe off their dirty shoes. The cute colors and patterns are just an extra perk!
Promising reviews: "I put this at our front door for fall. Great fall colors and super soft. Hoping it holds up and can be used every fall." —Cheryl
"I’ve had this rug at our front door for a couple of months now. So far I’m impressed with how easy it is to shake leaves and debris off of it. It’s a little harder to vacuum stuff off of it because it is a little lighter weight than anticipated. But it still works for what we needed it for. I love the colors and design and love even more that it doesn’t show dirt easily. I think it will be absorbent enough for shoes and boots to sit on it now that we’re getting into the snowy months, too." — actuallythedog
Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in five sizes and three colors).
