This caramel apple butter definitely makes the wait for actual fall feel a little more bearable.

I am a contributor and former resident writer at BuzzFeed Shopping, where I covered everything from fashion to kitchen products — but beauty and travel are my bread and butter (and shopping vices).

Emboldened Adventures is an Illinois-based Etsy shop established in 2017 that specializes in handmade gifts, baby items, and home decor. 

Promising review: "Best product — makes a unique gift that people appreciate. I’ve bought four of these so far for people in my life and will be back for more in the future." —Crystal Weed

Get the bright pink one from Emboldened Adventures on Etsy for $15 (available in four color combos) and other colors for $14 (available in seven options). 

It comes in coconut coffee or coconut vanilla (shown above), and other delicious flavors too!

Bare Botanics is the small biz behind this amazing scrub, which is handcrafted in Madison, Wisconsin!

Promising review: "I love anything coffee-related and have tried a few different body scrubs, but this one is by far the best! My skin feels silky smooth, like satin, which is amazing because it's normally very dry. The silky satin feeling lasts for days. I have been using this scrub for about two weeks, and I’m obsessed — the first week I used it twice, but realized I didn’t need to use it more than once a week. You can smell the coconut and coffee, but it’s not strong or overwhelming. If you are looking for a body scrub that has a pleasant scent and will leave your skin feeling silky smooth for days, then I highly recommend it!" —Stephanie Wortham

Get it from Amazon for $27.95 (available in seven scents and an unscented option). 

Promising review: "Super stylish and chic hat organizer. I love the boho style, the hats are easy to put in and take out, keeping my hats in good shape and easily accessible, plus they make my closet look great! One small nail holds it up; it comes in different sizes depending on how many hats you have. I have the three-holder and the four-holder." —Stephanie

Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in styles for three, four, or five hats). 

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 $4.99 (available in two other scents and in packs of three).

Promising review: "It’s fall, and I love this pumpkin chai candle. The scent is very subtle, a deep fragrance, and fills the space. I love the design of the candle container, which looks like a cross between stained glass and crystal. Its beautiful amber color illuminates when the wick is down about halfway. The material is durable and not easily broken. How do I know? Well, my adventurous cat crawled behind it when it wasn’t lit, of course, and it fell on the wooden floor. I recommend this candle." —Sunrise.Circle

Get it from Amazon for $23 (available in 10 other scents).

Promising review: "This face mask is amazing. My skin is much more sensitive now that I am older, and many exfoliating masks leave my skin red and irritated for days afterward. This seems to be gentle but effective. It smells like a real pumpkin, not some artificial chemical compound made to smell like pumpkin, which is a huge plus for me. Pumpkin is amazing for your skin and a great way to show yourself a little TLC at home." —Vitalicious Living Favorite Things 

Get it from Amazon for $25.95 (available in three other styles). 

Promising review: "These slippers are amazing! Discovered them on TikTok and went back and forth about ordering them, but wow, they are so comfortable. I have barely taken them off since receiving them. They are so fluffy and stay on my feet surprisingly well when walking around the house. Can’t wait until more colors are in stock to get another pair." —MSumm

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in women's sizes 5–10 and 14 colors). 

Promising review: "This is so good I'm gonna try to make my own. I've had apple butter before, but the addition of caramel to it is something truly dreamy. It's very sweet, as is regular apple butter, because of the concentrated nature of the product. Definitely a 'use sparingly' type product. I'm using it in a cookie recipe, so it'll be perfect. This is really, really good. Yum." —AmazonShopper 

Get it from Amazon for $8.95 (available in two other flavors, including maple pumpkin butter!). 

Promising review: "We absolutely love these blankets. We entertain family and friends quite a bit, and I know of four people who have bought blankets from this seller after staying with us. They are light and airy but also warm and cozy. They hold up well in the wash and keep their appearance, looking new. We will definitely purchase more." —KMcK 

Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in 18 colors and six sizes). 

Promising review: "These sunglasses are so great, I love them. They are super lightweight, and they look amazing on. The shape and fit are perfect, and they are very comfortable. They are great because they are so inexpensive that you don't have to worry about them, and they are also well-made and of good quality. Highly recommend if you want a nice pair of sunglasses that don't cost a fortune." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in 21 styles). 

Promising review: "I love the loose fit and length. I love that I can wear it not just in chilly spring weather. It’s actually thin and light. Not thick like winter flannels. I heat up easily, and love the look of a nice flannel, but I needed one without too much warmth and not a typical plaid button-up dress shirt. So this is perfect for what I was looking for. 🙂👍🏻" —Jacqueline 

Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in women's sizes S–XXL and 37 colors/patterns). 

Promising review: "This is my second purchase, and I confidently upgraded to the larger size because the quality is unmatched. The flavor profile is absolutely exquisite—truly phenomenal, particularly when incorporated into my baking." —Aisha

Check out a TikTok of the mushroom cup in action. 

Just so you know, this is not dishwasher safe!

Promising review: "It's so cute. It gives me so much serotonin drinking from it and having it on my desk. I'm always craving any sort of liquid, so I do drink it pretty fast, but I just keep a refill close. The cup makes it worth the trip to refill." —Po1sonPod

Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors).

Promising review: "Absolutely love it. The handle and weight make it easy to hold at 72. The glass container gives my green iced tea a perfectly cold, delicious, fresh, pure taste. It is nice and cold because it's glass, not plastic. The pitcher fits easily on my 12-inch-high refrigerator door shelf. The top is secure, doesn't leak." —Linda Eckert

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three sizes, seven colors, and a set of two). 

Promising review: "Love this body wash so much! The Dove Cinnamon Pumpkin Pie scent smells so good. It’s warm, sweet, cozy, and honestly perfect for fall or really any time of the year LOL. It leaves my skin feeling soft and clean without being drying, and the scent actually lingers in the best way. If you love anything pumpkin or cinnamon, you will be in love!" —Hali Emge

Promising review: "What makes this pillow look so expensive is the bi-level cut in the velvet and woven fabric. I'm surprised it isn't a $100 pillow. This pillow is so beautiful, my friend wants the info to buy them for herself." —Frederick Rosa

Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in 12 colors and three sizes).

Promising review: "Love these candles! Beeswax candles are my favorite, and being able to buy refills makes them even better. It has an 80-hour burn time, is clean burning, and eliminates odors. Win all around, highly recommend!" —Brianna

Get it from Amazon for $29.95 (available in two styles and a refill).

The donuts cook within minutes, have an auto shutoff to stop them from overheating, and come with a recipe book that even includes gluten-free and Paleo-friendly options. Bonus? You don't even need to figure out how to make donuts — this machine will take store-bought brownie, muffin, and cake mix just fine.

Promising review: "I cannot say enough about the Dash Mini Donut Maker. It is so much fun to use and make donuts at home. Rather than going to the local chain donut restaurant, you can make your own specialty donuts at home. It is very easy to use and cleans up quickly. My children love to decorate the donuts after they are cooked. It's a fun family activity, and the donuts taste great! Also, it has a neat design and stands out among my other boring-looking kitchen appliances. If you like donuts, this product is for you." —JoshH

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

Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in 14 colors and women's sizes S/M, L/XL, and 2X/3X).

Promising review: "I'm a 5'1.5" girl and have been STRUGGLING to find office pants that I haven't needed to get hemmed. I bought these in the XS shorts, and they fit like a dream!! So comfy. The waistband is very stretchy, and wearing these feels like wearing sweatpants. They are on the thinner side — I wouldn't wear them in winter without warmer leggings or something underneath, but for summer or autumn, they are perfect." —shalom

Get them from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–2X, short and long lengths, and 29 colors).

Over-sized, great quality. Lined but lightweight, so I definitely will be wearing this spring and summer. The light blue was exactly the color in the picture. So fresh. I ordered XL. I went according to bust size and went up 1 size for that cool oversize feel. Perfect. Not too big. It hung on me just how I wanted. Night and day wear. Get this, ladies." —Lisa
