1. A set of textured pillow inserts to autumnize your couch in ways you never thought possible. It'll be like having your very own pumpkin patch OR ghost crew in your living room, and tbh, what's better than that? These are made of plush polyester, which is machine washable!

Amazon

These are just covers — be sure to get two 18 x 18 pillow insertson Amazon for $12.99 if you need 'em!

2. Eos Crème de Pistachio Shea Better Body Lotion, aka a brand-new release from the makers of the reviewer-beloved Vanilla Cashmere version, so you know it's gotta be good. This contains delightful notes of toasted pistachio, decadent toffee, and sophisticated woods — could it BE more fall-friendly?? I think not.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This smells heavenly!! I wore it today with theCheirosa 62, and it smells delicious! I already purchased a second bottle for me and one for my daughter because I know it's going viral, and I don't want to run out! It's already hard to find where I am. To me, this is even better than the Vanilla Cashmere, and that's been my absolute favorite so far." —Heather Mg

3. A set of espresso martini instant cocktail tea bags when you have expensive taste that your wallet isn't exactly a fan of.

Amazon

Sayso is a woman-owned small business that specializes in the first-ever cocktail tea bag, perfect for cocktails *and* mocktails. 

Promising review: "I was a bit skeptical when I purchased, but these are actually fantastic. The taste is great, and the bags make it incredibly easy to mix up what would otherwise be complex cocktails quickly and easily. I've had the spicy marg, espresso martini, and old-fashioned versions, and while they aren't exactly the same as the original, they are wonderful for making yourself a cocktail at home. Highly recommend." —Meredith 

Get an eight-pack from Amazon for $14.99 (available in seven other cocktail styles and larger multipacks). 

4. E.l.f.'s Hydrating Core Lip Shine, which might remind you of the internet-famous "Black Honey" from Clinique, but at a more reasonable price! The "Ecstatic" shade specifically is a beautiful deep purple that's gonna pair perfectly with all your fall-ready outfits. It comes in a nonsticky formula infused with vitamin E to keep your lips feeling hydrated while looking bold!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

BuzzFeeder Emma Lord says: "I personally will live, breathe, and die by the magic of "universal" Black Honey version — it lasts FOREVER and also functions as the perfect blush — but it sells out so often that I am also deeply relieved to know it has a cheap alternative in case of lip emergency!"

Promising reviews: "I absolutely love this product. The dark color is perfectly sheer. It also adds the most beautiful color to your lips. I am a Clinique Black Honey lip fan, and this gives me the same look for a fraction of the cost. I love it and have several that I keep in various spots. Not sticky either, which is my biggest gripe about lip glosses. My hair doesn’t get stuck in this like some glosses, but I get the shine." —Hamps5

"I searched high and low for this color after I saw it on, guess what ... TikTok! And the creator was right, it’s great for everyone. It’s not too dark or too light. Keeps my lips hydrated with a bit of color and shine. Love it." —Erin C. 

Get it from Amazon for $8 (also available in four other shades).

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.
