1. A cube timer because saying goodbye to your relaxed summer schedule can be quite the tough adjustment when it comes to concentrating on important assignments and tasks again. Working on that report for your boss will feel like a fun little challenge when it's you vs. a 30-minute countdown.
Two AAA batteries are needed.

Promising review: "This product has been a game-changer for my productivity. It allows me to have fully phone-free days and focused work sessions without any distractions. The numbers at the bottom are a little small and hard to read, but that's a perk for me because I can focus more on the task at hand." —Acacia
Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in seven styles).
2. And speaking of returning to school/work, a desktop dry-erase whiteboard for easily keeping track of things on your to-do list, important meetings, and due dates.
Check out the desktop computer whiteboard on TikTok!
Promising review: "I bought this for work, and within days, several coworkers stopped over to check it out. At least one of them has already purchased one, and several others said they are going to. What one person uses it for is to jot down notes to herself through the day. What I use it for is to mark down the two most important things I want to get done each day. If you also get a pack of colored markers, you can easily color-code (prioritize) items for this board. I love it and wish I bought one years ago." —Mark A. Baron
Get it from Amazon for $29.70 (available in five styles). If you want to color-code your notes, you can grab a 15-pack of colorful dry-erase markers from Amazon for $7.99.
3. A jar of The Pink Stuff because if the last time you gave your living space a good clean was (*checks calendar*) in the spring, it's probably time for a little refresh. And why not do so with an affordable product capable of cleaning a multitude of objects/surfaces both inside and outside your home?!
Promising review: "Got this because TikTok made me do it. I put a smear on a hair dye stain in my shower from six months ago. Thought I’d have to let it sit for a while so I rubbed it in with a Scrub Daddy and was ready to let it sit, but it was already gone. Blew my mind. Removed rust stains in the toilet and hard water marks from the tank instantly. Goodbye other cleaners." —L. Seitz
Get it from Amazon for $5.97.
4. A fabric defuzzer ready to give your sweaters and cardigans that spent the last several months in hibernation the de-pilling they deserve.
Promising review: "I have watched TikTok after TikTok before buying this, and it has saved many of my clothes that I considered not wearing anymore. For example, sweatpants after a few months of wear and washing get extremely linty. This has saved them and they look almost new." —Sasha
Get it from Amazon for $12.66+ (available in six colors and two styles).
5. A personal ATM machine if you spent the summer getting a little too comfortable utilizing your credit card and your fall plans look something like: stay home and save $$$. Get in the habit of putting some cash into this cutie and before you know it, you may even have next summer's budget allotted for.
Check out the personal ATM on TikTok!
Promising review: "I am a 27-year-old who needed a safe place to keep my cash to start saving. For me, a savings account just doesn't cut it, I always dip into it. I bought this for self-discipline purposes. Symbolically for me, depositing money into a safe means it should remain untouched. It's super cool how it smoothly takes the bills in. It won't show you a total or anything, but it feels good to slip dollar after dollar and $20 after $20 in this machine and know it's adding up to something surprising later. Setup was super easy and its been functioning since I've bought it! This isn't just for kids! I enjoy it!" —pesobunny
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in seven colors).
6. A reviewer-loved pair of wireless Bluetooth headphones so you can listen to your favorite songs and podcasts while walking from your dorm room to class, focus music as you study for exams in the library, and if you're not a student, simply to listen to the best fall album of our time...Red (Taylor's Version).
Promising review: "Best decision! These are the greatest headphones ever! I saw them on TikTok months ago and added them to my wishlist. I got a new phone that doesn't have the headphone port so I decided it was time to finally buy them. They are amazing and I probably won't ever take them out of my ears! 😂" —Kate Arnold
Get it from Amazon $23.99 (available in five colors).
7. A Java Sok if you INSIST on continuing to consume cold bevs as the temps go down (same). It'll help prevent your hands from getting cold when it's already chilly outside, because we want you to enjoy your iced apple macchiato in peace.
Sok-It is a small biz that sells these wonderful neoprene cup sleeves!
Promising review: "Bought this for my girlfriend and she uses it all the time! She originally showed me a video of the product on TikTok and I was skeptical as most coffee sleeves like this haven't worked for me in the past but I of course still bought it for her. Boy was I wrong. This thing is super high quality especially for the price and keeps coffee cold for hours! She's a slow coffee drinker so this is a total game changer for her. Highly recommend! Love the design as well." —Zack McDonald
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in various prints and five sizes).
8. A set of flameless candles for an easy way to make your home feel ultra cozy and warm. A few of these babies turned on is all you need to take your Halloween movie binge to the next level.
Check out the flameless candles on TikTok!
Promising review: "I bought the gold glass candle set. It's almost iridescent gold and looks very elegant. The flame actually moves back and forth. I have mine set to come on in the evening and go off after four hours. The remote allows you to control the brightness of the candle, set a timer for auto on and off, and you can control how bright you want the actual candle inside the glass. I love them and plan to buy the gray glass set for my bedroom. Buy them, you will love them!" —Tammy B.
Get a set of three from Amazon for $19.99.
9. A veggie chopper that'll make dicing up fresh produce for autumnal salads, soups, and casseroles easy-peasy (and tear-free, if you're chopping onions).
Fullstar is a small biz that specializes in super useful kitchen gadgets! Check out the Fullstar veggie chopper on TikTok!
Promising review: "Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper, which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food, and it has a generous container." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in three colors and three styles).
10. An oversized sweater vest you can wear a buncha different ways and still look like like an effortlessly chic fashionista every time. Wear it by itself on warmer fall days or pair it with a shirt underneath when you need something a tad more toasty.
Check out the sweater vest on TikTok!
Promising review: "Love this! Well worth the price! I paired it with a white turtleneck underneath, but the options are limitless here. Was surprised at the quality of this item....it’s very soft and thick. Which isn’t wasn’t what I expected at all. Would definitely, and might, buy again very soon!" —Jon Evans
Get it from Amazon for $28.99 (available in women's sizes S–L and 10 styles).
11. And a pair of faux-leather leggings that'll go great with the vest above. These leggings also happen to work well with tons of other tops and are quickly gonna become your go-to when you need a comfy pair of pants to get you through going out at night beyond your will.

Promising review: "IN LOVE!!! They aren't cheap looking at all!!! I originally bought them for a cosplay, but ended up wearing them for fashion purposes and they're a hit!!!!!! Super comfy and stretchy around the waist!!!" —Rebecca J
Get them from Amazon for $19.99 (available in four colors and women's sizes S–XXL).
12. A stainless-steel apple corer to make quick work of getting rid of the centers of the delish fruit you spent a perfect fall afternoon picking with your loved ones.
Check out the apple corer on TikTok!
Promising review: "This thing is great. Very sturdy. Works amazingly well. I bought this because I had 1 1/2 bushels of apples I needed to core to make apple butter. Did the job in no time at all with this gadget. Much less waste than cutting around the core and in 99+% of the apples it removed the entire core and seeds without me having to do touch-ups with a paring knife. I highly recommend this tool and will be buying more of them to give as gifts for friends who enjoy the culinary arts." —James Miller
Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in 25 colors).
13. A ridiculously soft blanket you're gonna want to snuggle up with ALL. SZN. LONG. This is what the coziest time of the year is all about, ppl!
Promising review: "I saw this blanket on TikTok and I have to say I absolutely love it. I washed it several times now and it’s maintained its elasticity and softness after each wash. It’s warm enough but not too hot for a throw. Absolutely recommend this blanket!" —Amy
Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in 15 styles and three sizes).
14. A vitamin C showerhead because unwinding at the end of a crisp autumn day with a citrus-scented shower sounds like the most deliciously luxurious experience right about now.
Promising review: "I don't usually write reviews and that's just being honest, but I saw this on TikTok so I went ahead and made the impulsive decision to buy it and OMG it's changed my life. If you think your house has horrible water pressure, try this out. I had a pretty fancy shower head before because of aesthetics but the water pressure was so crappy that I wasn't able to use the showerhead properly since it was a 2-in-1 type. I've had a regular shower head before that. This however, although it doesn't look great, feels great with high water pressure that doesn't feel like a thousand pins sticking at you." —Kim Lee
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
15. An oversize pullover you're seriously gonna wanna buy in every color and then ignore every other top in your closet this fall. Who needs real clothes when you can just wear sweatshirts 24/7?!
Prime members: You can try before you buy!
Promising review: "I, a 16-year-old girl, got a medium to have an oversized fit. For the people who came here from TikTok: IT'S AWESOME. The material is so soft, and it’s a great price to put together that mini pleated skirt and collar outfit. I ordered the navy blue to see how it would fit first, and I’ll 100% be ordering other colors." —abby
Get it from Amazon for $12.61+ (available in men's sizes S–5XL and 37 colors).
16. And a lightweight legging-style joggers to pair with the sweatshirt above to create the loungewear set of your dreams.
Promising review: "These are literally the best leggings/joggers I have ever owned and I plan to eventually buy every single color. I originally saw these on TikTok and heard they were like the Lululemon ones but cheaper. I've never owned Lululemon leggings but if they feel anything like these then I have clearly been missing out. These are soft and absolutely perfect. I love the pockets and jogger style but that they fit like leggings and can be worn to the gym or dressed up with a cute outfit. I need to buy every color of these before they're gone!" —Courtney
Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 16 colors).
17. A reusable ChomChom pet hair roller because you may or may not be aware of this fun fact, but many dogs and cats tend to shed more in the fall in prep for growing their coats for winter. This bb will help make quick work of cleaning all that floof.
Check out the ChomChom pet hair roller on TikTok!
Promising review: "Where has this been all my cat-loving life? Sticky rollers work fine for clothes but this is the only product that has ever COMPLETELY removed all the cat hair from my bed. I have a long-haired 20-pound tabby and if you run your hands up his back a few times and fling the hair everywhere, it looks like it's snowing – he never stops shedding no matter what I do. After using the ChomChom, I can put on a black dress and roll around on my bed and not get a single hair on me. It's absolutely amazing. Everyone is getting one for Christmas, even if they don't have a pet. I don't care; it's THAT good." —DH
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two colors).
18. And a portable carpet and upholstery cleaner ready to tackle all sorts of messes you might face this fall inside your home and car — from the kiddos and pets tracking in mud and wet leaves to hot soup and coffee spills.
Check out the Bissell Little Green machine on TikTok!
Promising review: "I wish I would have ordered this sooner. It has removed stains that I thought were permanent. When my son moved out, I discovered an old red wine stain under his bedside table that had likely been there for years. No trace of it remains. So easy to use!" —Kristi Rector
Get it from Amazon for $123.59.
19. A clip-on silicone dog treat pouch for an easy way to carry treats. Nicer weather = longer walks = Fido deserves many more treats than usual. It's simple math.
Check out the magnetic treat pouch on TikTok!
Promising review: "I love this thing! I am a dog trainer; I train sled dogs and this is perfect. There's just nothing bad I could say about it. It cleans well, you can fit your hand in it easy, the pieces come in and out of it easy, the sturdiness is perfect, and you can snap it on your coat pocket if you don't have a belt. You can also snap it on the leash. I am so grateful I chose this one. You will not regret it if you buy it. 😁" —susan Hafner
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 10 colors).
20. A milk frother that'll transform coffee drinks into foamy lattes with the quick push of a button. No paying an absurd amount of money at a coffee shop or waiting in line required!
Promising review: "So I’ll admit I got this on a whim after a TikTok video, however I’m in love with this thing! It’s so much fun to use and you make your at home drinks feel so much more special. It’s easy to use and froths pretty quickly if you’re on the fence I’d say what are you waiting for buy it already!" —Denise
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 42 styles).
21. And a super absorbent mat to handle any water/coffee splashes like a pro as you live out your autumnal barista dreams. Better it ends up on here than your countertop!
Check out the coffee mat on TikTok!
Promising review: "I doubted this would work. I was wrong! Works great, can be cut to shape. I bought it to place in a cookie sheet on my counter to hold coffee pot, coffee and a couple of cups. That way Dad's coffee mess is contained. Works great. I plan on throwing it in the laundry every couple of weeks to a month to wash it. The new coffee pot is not as messy as the old one!" —Sandra Wheeler
Get it from Amazon for $9.98+ (available in five colors and three sizes).
22. *And* a loose-leaf tea infuser that'll have you brewing up a mug of your favorite herbal blend in the cutest way possible if coffee isn't your thing.
Check out the tea infuser on TikTok!
Promising review: "I'll start by saying that this is so stinking cute! I love it and I mostly bought it for that reason. No shame in admitting that. However, that being said, it works well too! It does not feel cheap and seems to have been made pretty well. It was a great purchase in my book." —Jesica
Get it from Amazon for $13.95.
23. An oh-so wonderful puffer jacket bound to make all the other coats you own feel SOOOO JELLY. I mean, it's inevitable you're gonna forget all about them once this arrives on your doorstep, and you're so valid for that.
Check out the puffer jacket on TikTok!
Promising review: "I wore this during a trip to NYC. Temps ranged from the mid-40s to mid-50s, and this kept me warm, was comfy, and was cute with all of my outfits. And the best part: It has ample pocket space, so I didn't have to carry a clutch!" —Kandace
Get it from Amazon for $68.99 (available in women's sizes XS–L and 13 colors).
24. And last, but certainly not least, an inflatable hot tub because it's time to trade dips in the pool for dips into some warmer water. BRB, spending the entire fall and winter in this thing. See you in the spring.
Check out the inflatable hot tub on TikTok!
Promising review: "I was skeptical about buying an inflatable hot tub, but my sister has wanted one forever. After researching many varieties we ended up purchasing this. I am amazed at how well it works. I have had it for several months now and it is still working perfectly. The lining is thick and sturdy, and supports your back. It is easy to get in and out of. The cushioned bottom is more comfy than I expected. It holds heat well, we like it at 104 and it stays between 102 and 104 while in use in a 40–60-degree environment. The bubbles are plentiful and relaxing and strong. I thought set up was quite easy, filters are easy to change and water chemical balance is easy to maintain. I give 5 out of 5 stars. Get it!" —Kristine
Get it from Amazon for $449.99.
