As a Deputy Editorial Director for BuzzFeed’s shopping team, I love to get into the weeds of why a product’s worth the money by deep diving into customer reviews, and product-testing as much as possible.

Now that we're in the thick of Summerween and all kinds of pumpkin-flavored things are coming out, it's the perfect time to start thinking about how hard you're gonna *fall.* Heck, you could even start early, despite it feeling like approximately 1,000% humidity today (or at least where I am)! Here's to you reaching your full seasonal form with a little early planning. 

1. Some Frosted Pumpkin Roll coffee that'll get you in the festive morning mood before you have to slip back into shorts and a tank top. Ahhhh, August. 

Amazon

Bones Coffee Company is a small biz specializing in very flavorful coffees. I've tried a handful of their flavors and they always really smell and taste like the advertised flavor! So you're really getting your money's worth when it comes to fall flavoring. 

Get a bag of whole beans from Amazon for $19.99.

2. Some "batlicious" and moon oven mitts can serve as your sous chefs for all kinds of yummy fall treats. (IMO it's not too early to start baking now!) And he'll hang out 'til he's needed. 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "These were really adorable. They're thick, very heat-resistant. Well made, good quality. Perfectly sized for your hands. Really sturdy and stable. They're not too bulky, so it doesn't make things difficult to grab. Easy to use and great for the price. Especially since you get one of each." —Linda Wood

Get it from Amazon for $19.95.

3. A mini pumpkin Dutch oven pot to just scream FILL ME WITH DIIIIIIIP. Or maybe just to me?! Also, it's more affordable than the $49 Staub lookalike. Maybe this is the "we have food at home" incentive you've needed all along.  

Amazon

These are safe for the oven, microwave, and dishwasher! And if you need some dip inspo, check out my friend's cookbook, Big Dip Energy!

Promising review: "I love this pretty pot. I use it for dipping sauce and a melting pot, and keep it on the stove for decor. I love showing it off when people ask me where I get it from." —Sandra L. 

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in four colors). 

4. Dr Teal's "Cozy Fireside" Epsom Salt Magnesium Soak that'll transport you to a Hallmark-like cozy mountain retreat thanks to its chestnut and cedar scent while helping ease aches and pains...even if said bathtime is happening for only about 20 minutes before someone else in the house needs you. Oh! It's worth mentioning that this is limited-edition, along with the brand's Cozy Vanilla. 

Amazon

Promising review: "I pretty much love all these Epsom salt scents, and this one is no exception. This one has notes of campfire along with a sweet scent, almost like vanilla, but with a more woodsy overtone." —CH

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $11.28.

6. An apple cider seasonal fall finishing sugar, because, these days, making something a bit sweeter is always a nice touch. Also, sipping on apple cider is fantastic, but I'll put off the hot bevvy 'til it's not 1000% humidity out. Thanks!

Amazon

Promising review: "Absolutely delicious, especially on peanut butter toast. Makes a better version of cinnamon toast. A little goes a long way. Good price too." —Margarat Knowles

Lenox

The set includes poppy seeds, sesame seeds, anise stars, mulling spice, cardamom, and fennel.

Promising review: "Boo-tiful! As both a longtime fan of the Lenox spice village and a day-to-day goth baddie, I highly recommend this cute expansion. It’s going to be a major flex when I have people over for Halloween!!! 😉👻💕" —GlitterMace

I have this candle at home and have to remind myself to light it so I can actually enjoy it as intended, despite wanting to sae it for a special occasion! I'm a huge fan of this goth-y brand and once the weather turns cold, I'm going to break out my Haxan perfume once again. I get HEAPS of compliments every time I wear it!

Promising review: "Smells like a lovely combination of high-quality incenses or the way I imagine a seance should smell. Even projects the fragrance when not lit. I often walk by my coffee table and wonder why the room smells so good, then I realize it's from the unlit candle." —Jonathan

Get it from Heretic Parfum for$68.

11. Maldon Smoked Sea Salt Flakes in case you adore regular Maldon Sea Salt Flakes and would like to switch it up a little bit for your taste buds.

Amazon

Check out a TikTok of the smoked sea saltin action. 

Promising review: "The smoky sea salt by Maldon is the best by far that I have found. I love the crunch and flavor. I put it on my steaks and on my vegetables and baked potatoes, and top my scrambled eggs with it. I suggest buying two boxes." —Kimberly Yarbrough

www.amazon.com

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. Every time I wash my hands, I get a little moment of calm, a little reminder of family dinners, bonfires, and everything I love about fall. 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.

14. A Tree Hut foaming gel body wash in a "punkin" scent that lots of reviewers swear by all year long thanks to its notes of sandalwood and apricot that doesn't make it feel fall-exclusive. 

Amazon

Promising review: "I love Tree Hut shower gel products. They cleanse, lather, rinse, and smell great. This is one of my newest acquisitions from the company. It smells like pumpkin, but I use it year round because it uniquely has apricot in it. So I get my pumpkin, but there is a unique fresh fruit smell. I only wish I could find lotion. When I bought it originally, as I have twice now, no lotion existed. Quality product with a decent value and quantity for price as well. Don’t have to use much product for a clean feel either." —Tigger 74

Get it from Amazon for $4.44. You could REALLY treat yourself and grab the sugar scrub while you're at it. 

15. A barn butter dish that'll make you feel all autumn harvest-y. Time to whip up some pumpkin bread and then schmear some butter on your first (second, and third) slice!

17. A dreamy chiffon dress you can layer over the slip dress already in your closet for the perfect thing to wear to watch Practical Magic 2 in theaters. And maybe for every other special occasion this fall! (Psst, reviewers say it's perfect for pregnancy.)

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I wore this dress as a guest to my niece's wedding and received many compliments on this dress. It is surprisingly comfortable and fits perfectly with or without a belt. The elastic around the neck and wrists was stretchy enough to not notice them throughout the night.

The only negative I can say about this dress is that the buttons on the back of the neck are a white pearl color. I expected the closures to be a gold tone. But honestly, it is not a deal breaker. Sooo happy with my purchase of this starry night dress!" —M2theG

Get it from Amazon for $33.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and three colors).

18. A candy apple–making kit (enough for 30!) so you can try your hand at the treat at home — which could be good and bad. (Too much of a good thing? Eh, maybe according to your family dentist.)

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 it from Amazon for $12.99.

19. Or a candy apple bath bomb in case you LOVE the idea of one but every time you pick up one at the fall fair, you get SO distracted by all the sticky candy topping getting stuck in your teeth. (I can't be the only one....)

Lush

Promising review: "This bath bomb is so creative! I love the vibe and the scent. But I think my most favorite thing about it is how moisturizing it is. I will be getting several more of these for sure. I would love to see something similar to this year round." —Oaklie

Get it from Lush for $11. And check out the rest of the Summerween collection!

20. An autumnal faux bouquet because you are booked and busy through the end of the year and refreshing each floral arrangement around your home always falls to the bottom of your list.  

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought two sets just to fill out my vase. My default colors are burgundy for fall, but I didn’t want to just have one color. Looks really good because the leaves look realistic when I shook out the product, nothing came apart, so that speaks to its durability. The flower quality looks real. The size works for a large vase if you want the sparse look, but if you want the full look, I would go for two sets. Looks pretty amazing." —Michelle Harris

Get it from Amazon for $29.99(available in 15 varieties).

21. Or a pampas grass bouquet in case you wanna try something a little more different / rustic. 

Amazon

Promising review: "I love the arrangement! I think it looks even better in real life." —Alena

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in three sizes).

23. Hot Toddy cocktail teabags that might just have you looking forward to chilly winter nights. For now, you'll have to settle for cuddling up to your AC to enjoy. And maybe in pop in a cinnamon stick while you're at it! (Btw, you can enjoy this with or without whiskey.)

Amazon

Sayso is a small business!

Promising review: "I tell everyone about Sayso. I have tried every flavor so far except the espresso martini. I didn't love the Rosemary Mule — it was just ok — but I LOVE the rest! For my mocktails, I typically go with the Paloma or Spicy Margarita. I like the Hibiscus Cosmo, it's a tad sweet for me, but good for a change-up. The Hot Toddy and Old Fashioned, though, are my absolute faves! I love that I don't have to have a ton of ingredients around the house to change up my drinks, quick and easy to make, as well as easy to adjust to my preferences. I definitely recommend giving them a try, especially if you're like me and like a bar-level cocktail at home. Cheers!" —mg123456

Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

24. A mellowcreme pumpkin hair clip you can wear to rep THE best candy on earth, and no, I shall not be hearing any slander about these little morsels sent from heaven.

Get it from Amazon for $12.99+(available in three sizes and 15 designs).

26. Caramel apple candy chews in case you looooooved those lollipops as a kid but want one in an easier format. If you've been looking for an excuse to get a work candy bowl, this might be the perfect excuse!

Amazon

Promising review: "Buyer beware: these are highly addictive!! The flavor of the caramel and the green apple blend so perfectly together! I also enjoy the smooth, creamy texture of these treats. They are a great size for a one-bite snack. Others have mentioned that the wrapper is difficult to open. Personally, I’ve had no problems. The wrapper is strong enough to be opened and removed in one piece." —Mustang Melissa

Get a two-pound bag from Amazon for $14.99.

27. An inflatable coffin drink cooler you can get some Summerween use out of now and then bust back out for actual Halloween shindigs.

30. A set of remote-controlled flameless candles to help establish an ~atmosphere~ without causing a fire hazard.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought one set and loved them so much I bought two more sets. They're the most realistic looking fake candles I've bought so far. The 'flame' up close obviously doesn't look real but from afar with the flicker setting on, you almost can't tell these aren't real. They also put out a decent amount of light for being fake. Gives my living room a very cozy feel which is what I wanted. Remote works great as well." —suckerforcats 

Get a set of three from Amazon for $25.99 (available in five styles). 

31. A fuzzy plush pumpkin pillow your pals will think is the pricier Pottery Barn version they've pined over. But you used your savings to invest in some hot chocolate (which is GREAT news for them). 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "I love this pumpkin. Good quality, very soft, and looks great for fall decor. Great buy." —Tom

Get it from Amazon for $7.20.

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "I'm so impressed by the variety of teas and the flavors, especially for the price! I've been reducing my caffeine intake by drinking more tea in the afternoon, and this combination of flavors really called out to me because I'm a big fan of flavors that remind me of fall. As soon as I had the cinnamon apple chamomile tea, I knew I had made the right choice!" —Chloe K. 

Get a set of six teas from Amazon for $19.99. 

34. Torani's Pumpkin Pie Sauce you can drizzle over ALL SORTS of delish creations to make you feel like you picked it up at that new coffee shop in town. It's great on lattes (naturally), oatmeal, yogurt, baked treats, cocktails, and more. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I'm obsessed with this! We originally tried this during the fall, when we found that going out for coffee each day was too expensive! This Torani pumpkin pie sauce is delicious, and honestly, it tastes even better than Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks, plus you can enjoy the flavor year-round. It has a similar rich consistency as caramel, but definitely has that additional distinct spiced flavor. I like to add cinnamon powder to really amp up the spices. So tasty!" —David M Taylor

Get it from Amazon for $14.74. 

35. And a pumpkin spice-flavored syrup that might cause your Starbucks barista to do a wellness check on you. After all, PSLs come back on August 25th this year. So you can chase the taste a few weeks early. 

Amazon

Promising review: "I don't know how sweet people drink their drinks because I'm a sugary sweet type, and three pumps of pumpkin were more than enough for my 16-ounce dirty chai. I wanted the pumpkin syrup because Starbucks has butchered my chai 😫 every time, and I am so happy I tried this product. The pump alone is worth it cost. Very pumpkin, thank you!" —Marlene Avalos

Get it from Amazon for $12.94. 

36. A pumpkin night-light that'll be a great indoor jack-o'-lantern alt while keeping you company watching horror movies or just answering work emails that are so silly, it's SCARY. 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

37. A quilt set with cute fall-ish woodland creatures that'll help give your bedroom a seasonal revamp too. Plus, it's reversible!

Amazon

Promising review: "After looking at what seemed like hundreds of bed covers, this one really stood out. It isn't flowers or weird geometrics. It's an interesting woodland grouping of animals and leaves with autumnal colors and setting. The quality is very good. I'm using an ivory bedskirt with it and couldn't be happier." —RWMo

Get it from Amazon for $40.99+ (available in twin, full/queen, and king sizes).

38. A cute bat suncatcher for channeling some more light during the shorter days.
