Ashley Schumacher/BuzzFeed

While my fam loves to board game year-round, you better believe that the minute fall hits, this is part of our cozy routine. This game is cozy, competitive, and — this is VERY important to me — 🟢super easy🟢 to learn quickly. It's from the creators of Unstable Unicorns, so you don't just have to take my word for it because you KNOW it's gonna be good.

Promising review: "This game is affordable, adorable, and really fun. It's got a lot of depth, and the combination of luck and strategy makes it insanely replayable. Would give 6 stars if I could!" —Django

Target

Tiny Tags was founded by Melissa Clayton after the birth of her first son, when she couldn’t find the perfect "mommy" necklace and decided to make her own. What started out as a hobby has now become Melissa’s life’s passion, and boy, does it show! I'm OBSESSED with how dainty-cute (and giftable!) these are!

Price: $25

Target

Promising review: "I was so excited, this is for my plants. I read one review that it leaks, mine did too because I carelessly grabbed it while it was working. Now that I don't move it while it's on, it's perfect. I ordered two more. My plants are now officially spoiled." —Target Lover

Price: $32.99

6. An itty bitty Nanit sound machine obviously perfect for parents, but also: I have taken this from my "kid travel kit" for my own uses. And those uses are I'm gonna take a cozy fall nap or read my cozy spooky book and I don't wanna hear my neighbors blowing leaves while it happens.

Ashley Schumacher/BuzzFeed

I got the Nanit traveling bundle for taking my preschooler out on overnight adventures (which absolutely should be in any small-children-havers cart for fall travels) and quickly grew enamored with the Polly Pocket-ness of the sound machine. I use it for naps or for white noise buffer if I'm working in my office and joyful-but-loud chaos is happening with my son and partner outside the doors. 

Price: $79.99 (originally $99.99)

7. A quirky mushroom stool to prove that you're a fun lil' guy. 🥁

Target

Promising review: "I got the cream version of this stool, and it far exceeded my expectations. It is large enough to use as a stool for guests on game night, a footstool that I can use to cross my legs on, and to add a nice decor to a space. It is easy to clean with a handheld vacuum and has stayed a nice cream color. The base is a dense, firm material, while the top is very squishy and nice to sit on." —Bri

Price: $96 (originally $120; also available in orange)

8. Some Mad Hippie vitamin C serum perfect for the change in season to keep your skin bright and happy no matter the weather. This is my go-to vitamin C serum and I LOVE the smell and consistency. Some I've tried have been super sticky, but not Mad Hippie!

Target

BRB: Actually, literally putting their Triple Vitamin C Night Cream into my cart, too, because I just re-sold myself on my great love for this brand. 🫡

Promising reviews: "I have oily skin, and this serum feels so good on my skin. Sinks into my skin and doesn't leave it sticky at all." —Angel

Promising reviews: "I bought one of these pots a year ago and have been so delighted with it that I just bought the whole set. So easy to clean by hand. They can go in the dishwasher, but I don’t, so they will last longer. The price, quality, and safety are great, and they have replaced all my old nonstick pots and pans." —Kathleen

"I got these for Christmas last year, these are my favorite pots/pans! A little hot water and everything comes off, and I use Scrub Daddy’s tangerine paste on the bottom to get rid of any burn marks or stuck-on bits! They still look brand new, and I will slowly be buying the whole set!" —wife and momma

Price: $100 (available in five colors)

11. And a rectangular stoneware baking dish (with a lid!) to make your one-dish casseroles both Instagram-worthy and lick-the-dish-worthy.

12. A beautiful end-grain acacia wood cutting board you can absolutely use for prep or for setting up the world's cutest girl dinner display for your next fall get-together.

Price: $13

14. A set of soft double-brushed sheets to help you slip into a new season. The time change is COMING (Nov. 2, y'all.) and I started a fam tradition of new sheets to help ease the pain of changing the clocks. Join me.

Target

Promising review: "The double-brushed microfiber feel makes all the difference! These are seriously like butter. Super soft and warm, but also light. I got a set for my bed and one for my son. These are a great buy to keep a couple of extras around since they are so affordable." —Marissa

Price: $29.98+ (originally $52+, available in sizes twin–California king and eight colors/patterns)

Target

Promising reviews: "Don’t hesitate to buy this adorable bag! It beats the Coach Brooklyn one for $495 and is the better size and so much cuter! I picked up the brown faux suede in the store and get numerous compliments. Thank you, Target for the great, trendy, and better bag for $35." —KC

Target, Ashley Schumacher/BuzzFeed

Don't forget the candles!

Promising review: "I love the vintage look of these candle holders. I’d seen a similar style from Hearth & Hand that I really liked, but never got my hands on them, so when I saw these at my store, I added them to my cart immediately. Love how they look on my dining table." —KL

Price: $6.99

Target

Target

Promising review: "This pumpkin can rival far more expensive ones from other high-end stores. Wonderful quality. Thick glass, beautiful color. The hole on the bottom is a generous size to fit even a larger flameless candle, other than just a small votive. This beautiful glass pumpkin does not disappoint." —Karen

Price: $10+ (available in three sizes/shapes)

27. Or a pack of three mini fall glass pumpkins to arrange artfully on your mantle or scatter throughout your home like an unhinged decor version of an "I Spy" book.

He's back and he's got spooky-cozy vibes ready to greet you on the kitchen bar, on the catch-all table by your door, or even at your bedside to help you have deliciously snuggly Halloween dreams.

Have ~literally~ just put this in my cart. In this house, we stan Lewis. 

Promising reviews: "These are the cutest little Halloween decorations, and I would totally recommend getting these! I love Lewis and the whole world! They also sit very well and can stand up on their own. I would totally recommend getting this decor for Halloween!" —Jules

31. A puffer hobo shoulder bag to haul your stuff in a bag just as ready for fall as you are! The quilted puffer look is SO cozy for falling temps, but will absolutely be your bestie year-round.

Target

Promising review: "I am in love with this bag! It is so spacious and holds a ton. I love that when it is heavy, it doesn’t dig into my shoulder like most bags do. Added bonus of it being padded. I have used it as a pillow on the train while commuting. If you are on the fence about this… BUY IT NOW. It’s very similar in style to the COS bag but a fifth of the price. Whoever is putting out these amazing items at Target lately needs a raise, immediately." —GeneralShopper17

35. A mini tote crossbody for a quintessential autumn look if you're ready to leap into the upcoming cooler temps with reckless abandon. Not *entirely* sure this wasn't used on screen in You've Got Mail, tbh.

Promising reviews: "This beautiful crossbody bag is everything. It's a definite must-have bag for all year round, especially for fall and winter. I definitely recommend this stunning bag." —Mari

"I typically use premium handbags, but when I saw this one on the app, I thought it was so cute and decided to try it, fully expecting to return it. But it's a great little bag! It's the perfect size for me, and the faux leather is soft and looks beautiful. The color is perfect, and the crossbody strap is long enough for a tall woman like me. For the price, I am super happy with the quality, the look, and the feel! It's such a pretty little bag! If you're considering it, go for it!" —Sarah

Price: $25 (available in black and brown)

36. A perfectly green Crock-Pot slow cooker so you can make dips, soups, and whole meals with the click of a button. Is there anything better in this world than dumping a whole bunch of ingredients in a slow cooker and coming back to an already-finished dinner? I don't think so.

Price: $19.99 (originally $29.99; also available in black)

37. A vinyl display wood frame for the greatest fall celebration of all: the release of Taylor Alison Swift's The Life of a Showgirl.

Target

And you KNOW Target will have a 🔥 exclusive version like they always do!

Promising review: "This is perfect to display a custom-painted record my husband received as a gift. Very heavy-duty frame with a glass front and a pronged back to hold the album sleeve.

Price: $29.99
