I'm a resident writer, cat mom, and obsessive online shopper who is passionate about quirky pet products, home decor, size-inclusive fashion, and, above all, perfumes.

1. A remote-controlled swinging ghost with a maple leaf garland for anyone who wants their autumnal decor to strike the perfect balance between cutesy and creepy. No panic-inducing clown animatronics here, TY — just this adorable little friend who will have the neighborhood kids spreading rumors that you are a good witch. It has eight different light modes, has a waterproof battery box that makes it safe for outdoor use, and even has a timer function you can set and forget. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Make sure to grab some AA batteries.

Promising review: "I picked up this hanging ghost swing to spruce up my front yard for Halloween, and it turned out way better than I expected. The wooden swing feels sturdy, and the maple leaf garland adds such a nice fall touch. Both the ghost and swing come with warm‑white string lights. The remote timer function is my favorite feature — 6‑hour on /18‑hour off works perfectly so I don’t have to turn lights on and off every night. Height is fully adjustable, I hung it on a big oak tree in my front yard. Neighbors stopped by to compliment the look. Assembly wasn’t too bad following the color manual. Just note you need 3 AA batteries for each light set, batteries are not included. Highly recommend for Halloween outdoor display!"—Teresa Lee

Get it from Amazon for $40.99. 

2. A candy apple kit if you just went apple-picking with your children who demanded they all fill their own baskets...and now you've got about thirty apples you have no idea what to do with. Lucky for you — you can *easily* turn them into tasty little treats with this kit. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Each kit comes with a coating mix (you'll need to add sugar and water) and ten sticks. 

Promising review: "This kit is so easy to use! Instructions were clear, and the candy apples were delicious. Decided to add Nerds candy to some of them!" —Nella Love

Get a set of three kits from Amazon for $14.98.

3. Some Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day "Fall Leaves" hand soap that'll have you washing your hands 24/7 just to keep the smell on you. This scent is a limited-edition fan favorite, which is why it crops back up like a ripe corn stalk every fall. 

www.amazon.com

You can check out the Acorn Spice and Apple Cider scents, too.

Promising review: "This Mrs. Meyer's Fall Leaves hand soap instantly transports me to a crisp autumn day — leaves crunching underfoot, a warm breeze through the trees, and the comforting scent of home. The fragrance is earthy yet inviting, like wrapping your hands in a cozy flannel blanket after raking leaves with the kids. It doesn’t just smell good — it feels good. The soap lathers beautifully, rinses clean, and leaves my hands soft without that dry, tight feeling. It’s not just soap — it’s a seasonal ritual. I’ll be buying this every autumn." —Duke of Westfall St. 

Get it from Amazon for $4.88. 

4. A color-your-own-tarot kit, which is the perfect indoor activity for rainy days — and if you start coloring these now, you might just have 'em done by Halloween! Maybe you could start your own tarot booth... 

Anthropologie

Get it from Anthropologie for $23. 

5. A set of TikTok-famous floating candles to add the perfect amount of witchy wonder to your space. These are easily hung up with an ancient incantation (jk, it's clear fishing line, but nobody has to know that) and come with a ~magic wand~ remote to turn the candles off and on. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

See it in action on TikTok here. 

Promising review: "I purchased these after I saw them in a viral TikTok video, and they did not disappoint! Every single one of the candles works perfectly, and the flame flickers just like a real candle. They were really easy to put up into the ceiling because they were already strong with the fishing line. I just used clear thumbtacks and wrapped the line around it and hung it to the ceiling. The wand is so cool and works perfectly well for turning on and off the lights. I definitely would purchase more to add a little bit more magic throughout the house! Absolutely worth it!" —Korg

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ for a set of 12 (available in six varieties).

6. A set of codependent ghost-shaped salt and pepper shakers that hug (!!!) each other. They're so cute I could die. Omg, was that insensitive? I'm so sorry little ghosties, I didn't mean to flaunt my life in front of y'all. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Great addition to my kitchen and dining area. They instantly make me smile every time I walk past or use them. Easy to fill with a small rubber plug in the bottom. The one concern is that the pepper comes out a little fast. Awesome value!" —Alimony Tony 

Get them from Amazon for $6.78. 

7. Glamnetic's new collection of press-on nails, which have a delightfully fall-inspired array of designs to choose from. When applied and removed (with their viral nail glue remover) correctly, these reusable beauties are minimally damaging. This autumnal collection has something for everyone, too — from a subtly spooky smokey design to anall-out pumpkin patch for your nails. 

Amazon

They also have anentire line of NFL nails for fall. You will personally NOT catch my Ohioan butt rocking the Cincinnati Bengals manicure ever, but these Browns ones are soooo cute....CLEVELAND FOREVER! 

Promising review: "Absolutely love these. I work with boilers, so I am rough with my hands and these last. Also, if I happen to pop one off, I can pop another back on in seconds. The glue is very strong, and they come off so easily with the same brand removal oil. They are so quick to put on, I get a beautiful set of nails in under 15 minutes. Great value for the money. I like the thickness as they are not bulky, but definitely not thin. The color is stunning! I have purchased about seven different sets, as well as the toenails. Highly recommend." —Lynn

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in dozens of other styles). 

8. A new tortoise-print Simple Modern 40-ounce tumbler, because tortoiseshell IS the most autumnal pattern (if you disagree, argue with the wall ✋😌) and you definitely deserve to treat yourself. 

Amazon, www.instagram.com

My colleagueJenae Sitzes says: "I have a Simple Modern tumbler I've used for yeeears now and love it! It's so easy to clean, and it keeps my water cold for a long time. As a clumsy person, I've also knocked it over a million times and water never leaks."

Promising review: "I left this mug in my car for over an hour on a day the temperature was 106 degrees. I came back to my car and the water was still cold AND THERE WAS STILL ICE IN THE MUG. How? I don’t know. But do I need to say more? Buy this mug!" —Diana Kramer

Get it from Amazon for $27.99.

9. EOS's new Pumpkin Chai body lotion that will actually help you complete your transformation into a straight-up FALL FIEND. With delicious notes like frothed milk, brown sugar, and ofc, spiced pumpkin — you'll have to stop yourself from applying the whole darn bottle in one go. 

Emma Lord/BuzzFeed, Amazon

BuzzFeeder Emma Lord *loves* this stuff: "Okay, I'm gonna get real here: I typically don't love pumpkin scents or anything that runs on the "sweeter" side. But this Pumpkin Chai body lotion is the holy grail of pumpkin scents. It is somehow rich, warm, and light at the same time, and so perfectly balanced that the sweetness feels more like a top note than an overwhelming one. It smells strangely nostalgic?? Like, it smells like autumn personified, if all the best, most delicious, most cozy parts of it got combined. I am so picky that I was expecting to tolerate this at best, but I am going to mourn it deeply when pumpkin season is over!! And as always, this stuff packs a hydrating punch. My knees were super raw and dry for reasons unknown, but after putting this on twice a day for three days, they're good as new, and I'm not randomly itching them anymore."

Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 

10. A pair of patterned barrel jeans made from 98% cotton and 2% spandex, so they're not just fashionable — they're comfortable, too. These with a pair of chunky boots and a sweater? PEAK! 😮‍💨🤌

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Had these for quite some time before tearing off the tags to wear them, and had so many compliments on them! I love them! Super comfy and fun." —Shannon Taylor

Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 15 styles). 

11. A limited-edition and brand new Native x Peanuts "Apple Orchard" shampoo(and there's conditioner, too) to make sure every single part of your physical being, including your hair, radiates 🍂✨FALL. ✨🍂 The scent will leave you feeling like you just went apple-picking with Charlie, Snoopy, and the whole gang — it's got delicious notes of green apple, leafy pear, and cedarwood.

Target

Psst — you can shop the whole Target-exclusive Native x Peanuts collection here, which includes *more* amazing autumnal scents like "Maple Latte" and "Crisp Night Sky."

Promising reviews: "Great smelling Native conditioner, this brand never disappoints! Great price for a high-quality conditioner with a fun collaboration with the Peanuts gang :)." —britty

"Very fresh apple scent. I mixed this with the Native Warm Cinnamon and Cider and it smells amazing! Perfect for fall." —love this lamp

12. A string of autumn leaf lights here to save you from struggling to place fairy lights atop your fall garland without making a tangled mess — this gorgeous piece has already done that hard work for you.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I love these pretty lights – and I love that they are orange! They are plug-ins, so I can leave them on all day! No battery worries! I have them draped around my China. I keep them on all day, through Halloween and Thanksgiving! My hubby loves them, and I’ve received so many compliments. They are well-made and full." —Peggymag

Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (also available in a two- and three-pack).

13. A jar of spreadable pistachio butter for everyone who tried Dubai chocolate last year and has actually *not* moved on from the delectable flavor combo of pistachio and cocoa. But don't limit yourself to pairing this delicious spread with just chocolate — reviewers love putting it on ice cream, toast, waffles, and...get this...CHEESECAKE.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This pistachio butter was a hit at home. My wife and kids loved it — smooth texture, rich flavor, and not overly sweet. It tastes natural and fresh, great on toast or even by the spoonful. Definitely something we’d buy again." —José Rodríguez

Get it from Amazon for $11.99. 

14. Leaf scoops to make an autumnal chore a little less boring — these handheld rakes are basically paws you can use to gather leaves in massive portions rather than fumbling with a regular rake and *shudder* your bare hands. 

Amazon

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 several 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.

15. McCormick Grill Mates Brown Sugar Bourbon Seasoning, a sweet-and-spicy blend of brown sugar, bourbon, garlic, onion, and salt that'll have you sprucing up dishes from chicken to fish to roasted vegetables. Is anyone else hungry right now?

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Psst — reviewers mention stocking up on these because they're SUPER cheap on Amazon, and hard to find in stores! 

Promising review: "Love the taste. I put it on everything. Ribs, pork chops, chicken, even burgers. They all tasted great." —Judy

Get it from Amazon for $2.08. 

16. A set of limited-edition Febreze "Pumpkin Roll" room sprays that not only eliminates unwanted (and unpleasant) odors...but also replaces them with a deliciously sweet, pumpkin-y fragrance that smells like you just baked a fresh batch of fall treats. 

Amazon

Promising review: "This stuff is like fall in a spray! I’m walking around like the commercial! Spraying it everywhere!" —Hippiesoul4evr

Get three from Amazon for$9.99. 

17. Agourd-themed throw blanket to instantly elevate your living room's vibe straight into autumnal oasis territory. This cozy chenille-knit blanket is perfect for refreshing your space for fall without too much effort. 

Amazon

Promising review: "These throws are absolutely amazing. I bought two for my grandkids to use while lounging in front of the TV... I was delighted by how soft they were, the beautiful pattern, the subdued autumnal coloring, and the overall quality. The price was extremely reasonable for this level of quality. I truly wish I'd purchased one for myself!!" —Bdlpmom

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in two other autumn-themed styles and seven other styles). 

18. A Hocus Pocus welcome mat that'll let all incoming visitors know that this house does 👏 not 👏 play 👏  about spooky season OR top-notch cinema.

Promising review: "The Hocus Pocus doormat is SO cute, good quality, and shipped quickly. I definitely recommend buying!." —Emma

Get it from Freckled Lemons on Etsy for $42+ (typically $60; available in two sizes). 

19. A set of heat-safe microwave bowl holdersyou'll wanna grab as we head deeper into soup season. These will make grabbing your bowl from the microwave way less stressful (who among us has not burned our fingers or spilled our stews trying to use hand towels to grab piping-hot dishes?). These are also great for comfortably *holding* your soup bowl if you prefer to eat on the couch rather than at the table. 

Amazon

Check out aTikTok of the microwave bowl holders in action. 

Promising review: "Buy these for yourself and everyone you know. They are soft and fit a variety of sizes of bowls to put under them in the microwave and eat from. My kids love them. We bought some to gift to other people too, and I will get some for my son to use at college. Made of a heavy terry cloth that can be thrown right in the washer when needed. We used towels before under our bowls, but these cradle the bowls, so they are easier to hold. We bought some bigger plate sizes too." —Heidi J. 

Get a set of four from Amazon for$18.99 (available in 10 color combos). 

20. A chic, fuzzy plush pumpkin pillow, which is a cheaper swap for the majorly expensive Pottery Barn version. If you want a way to incorporate fall vibes into your home but are committed to maintaining a ~sophisticated~ aesthetic — this muted, but still cheerful, pillow is a way to do it. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I love these pillows. I first came across pillows similar to these on the website for an upscale home decor chain. I wanted them, but they were out of my price range, even on sale. So I checked Amazon and was happy to see something very similar and much more affordable. What a find! They are so cute and great decor for both Halloween and Thanksgiving. Note that they come in vacuum sealed bags that makes them look flat. When you take them out, you need to fluff them. It's like popcorn...they get so much bigger!." —Jaye

Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in two sizes and seven colors).

21. A two-pack of multicolored, fall-themed pasta noodles with the cutest, most festive shapes. These beauties are a shortcut to receiving tons of praise at your next dinner party — once your guests notice the adorable leaf shapes, you'll be raking in more compliments than you can count. 

Amazon

Get a pack of two from Amazon for$14.99.

22. Apuffer vest that'll serve you well as these days continue to grow colder. This is *perfect* for layering over sweatshirts to keep yourself warm without committing to a huge coat that might just leave you overheating. Plus... it's, like, just really cute and trendy. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is so chic and on trend! I have worn it with leggings, sweatpants, and jeans! You can dress it up or down! It does not feel bulky when wearing, it is very comfortable! It does not cling, and it hangs beautifully! I will wear this all fall and into winter! I naturally get really hot, and this does not make me feel that way! The material is forgiving and does not make that rustling noise when you move! I will be ordering another one in a dark color!!!" —lisa r haney

Get it from Amazon for $36.99(available in women's sizes XS–XXL and in 16 colors). 

23. A "peek-a-boo" mugwith a tiny squirrel friend inside to make your morning coffee ritual a little less lonely — and a whole lot cuter. The design is so charming, it'll probably be promoted from a seasonal spot to a permanent one on your coffee bar, long after autumn is over. 

Amazon

Promising review: "This lil' guy looks so polite. 😍 Adorable!! I bought one for my mom and another for myself. Has held up well for the eight months I’ve had it, no chips, cracks, or any damage!! Very durable, and not sure if he’s microwave safe, but I’ve warmed him up a few times without issue. Holds a good amount of coffee too!! I put him in my dishwasher too!" —Victoria

Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in 11 styles). 

24. A bat-wing claw clip to hold your hair up while you're baking snickerdoodles, playing Sims 4 with the season set to "fall," or just generally enjoying the chilly air on the back of your neck.

If you've had a lifelong dream of neighborhood children spreading rumors about your house being a witch's lair, now's your chance to realize that. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I put this outside our house. Everyone believed it was the real doorbell. It is loud enough, spooky (in a 1950s kind of way), and is super cool at night. I loved it and will use it again next year." —dLyonBW

Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in two styles).

26. Some leaf-shaped window clings because you're not going to sit around and wait for the leaves to turn — the fall equinox has happened, so it's go time NOW. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I love these! They look fantastic in my sunroom, even on a rainy day. They’re fairly realistic looking, easy to use, and there are a lot of them provided (I used 1/5 of them for two windows). About half of them are near life-size leaves, while the other half are a bit small, but they serve their purpose well either way. I liked having the acorns to fill in along the bottom too — they gave my layout a bit more of a sense of gravity." —sportbikerchic

Get six sheets from Amazon for $6.99.

27. A string of acorn lights that'll make any room feel like a cartoon squirrel  with *very* good taste helped decorate.

Amazon

Promising review: "These were very cute mixed among a string of fake leaves on my mantel. I think they would also work well mixed among filler in a vase. They are not very bright, but they are not supposed to be." —wildebeast

Get them from Amazon for $14.97 (also available in a style with pumpkins, maple leaves, and acorns).

28. A 12-piece set of gorgeous ceramic dinnerware in a gorgeously autumnal palette that you'll love if you're currently at the stage of life where you get excited about plates. 😩 Each piece is hand-crafted and finished with a double-reactive glaze that creates some stunningly rich color. 

Amazon

It comes with four dinner plates, four salad plates, and four bowls.

I have these, and I am obsessed with them. They're sturdy, hold up in the microwave, and make everything served on 'em feel ~fancy.~

Promising review: "Stunning plateware! The weight is solid, and the quality is excellent. I’ve placed them in the dishwasher with no problems; however, I prefer to hand-wash. I receive great compliments in this set…don’t think about it, buy it!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $69.98 (available in 14 colors; also available in sets of 16, 18, and 24).

29. A Diana, Goddess of the hunt, bust if your fall vibe is less "spooky, scary skeletons" and more dark academia. This will bring a touch of somber elegance to your home library (even if that home library is just a bookshelf in your living room).

Promising review: "I wanted a conversation piece on my mantel, and this one spoke to me. Not too heavy, feels like smooth plaster. It’s nicely detailed. Looks nice as a stackable piece." —Lori g.

Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in six styles).

30. A trio of ghost-shaped taper candles so spookily stylish, you might feel bad for melting them. Fortunately, these ghouls no longer have a physical form, so they won't feel it.

Amazon

Promising review: "These are super cute! Perfect for creating Halloween atmosphere!" —Livia

Get them from Amazon for $16.99(available in four styles).

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "My kids and I are in love with it. The quality is absolutely amazing for the money. No weird smells. It’s a lot heavier than I had expected. Especially for the price. The color is amazing and if I gave it a good wash w some fabric softener, it could absolutely be used as a blanket." StrwberryBoi

Get it from Amazon for $44.99 (available in 19 other styles).
