Time to soak your tired bones in a “Cozy Fireside” epsom salt magnesium bath.

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.

After what feels like a loooooong summer, fall is nearly upon us. And I'm here to wholly embrace it (even though I also love summer). Now that we've officially crossed into Pumpkin Spice Latte season, it's time to start thinking about your fallmaxxing strategies. Time to put an (LED) candle in every corner to cast an eerie glow, hang up your bat suncatcher, and even sprinkle smoked sea salt all over all your concoctions. But you know, we're just getting started here.

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.

Promising review: "Best shirt for everyday casual, pair with a blazer, or use for a workout. I love the soft feel and being form-fitting without feeling restricting. It also doesn’t wrinkle easily, which makes it great for travel!" —Mermaid Mamma

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

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!

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

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

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

Check out a TikTok of the smoked sea salt in 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

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

Promising review: "This wreath was full, lush, and well-made. I purchased the 28” size. Very easy to fluff out to make larger. Love the bright autumn colors. Well worth the price. You will not be disappointed." —Amazon Customer

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

Promising review: "Oh my goodness, not only does this product work well on cooked-on crud on your pans or plates found in the kids' rooms, but it smells fantastic! The Apple scent is like a fresh Granny Smith apple — a true apple scent. I just love this scent and have made it a Subscribe & Save regular, as I can't find it in my local store. Wonderful scent in a wonderful product!" —Tiffany A. 

My colleague Emma Lord (who's a fan of the original) has and loves this: "I bought this because I crave that Black Honey and will buy it until the day I die, but I am always paranoid of losing it, so I almost never let it leave my bag. I have tried probably five or six "almost" versions of Black Honey that came close, but this one genuinely spooked me. It has the same easy glide, same buildability, and the same refreshingly hydrating effect. It was a two-pack so I gave one to my BFF, another Black Honey fan, who also could not detect the difference!"

Promising review: "Better than Clinique! I bought this one on a whim but never liked the real Black Honey Almost Lipstick by Clinique, since it tends to run red on me. This shade, in my opinion, is exactly what Black Honey SHOULD be, as it looks more like Black Honey in pictures. For the price, it can’t be beat, so I’m buying more." —HAC 

Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (also available in the pink honey version, and in a two-pack that mixes both!). 

Promising review: "Saw on TikTok (don’t judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you’re left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance." —Jessica Hamilton

Promising review: "It smells amazing, and tastes like a sweet pumpkin pie. Heavenly and intoxicating. Definitely a keeper for me." —Ani

Get a set of three from Amazon for $3.97. 

Promising review: "I absolutely adore this umbrella! The canopy is stylish and I'm fond of the bat design inside. It's lightweight yet appears to be quite sturdy. It's compact, just the right size, and can comfortably accommodate two people. Definitely worth purchasing." —Mary Grace

Promising review: "Alright… let me give you the lowdown on what an amazing product this is. I’m not lying when I say it does EXACTLY what it says it’s supposed to do. I bought the tube eight months ago, and I use it daily. A pea-sized amount is perfect for my neck area. The tube lasts a long time. I still have some left and bought it again. It’s scentless and rubs in quickly and smoothly, leaving no greasy feeling behind whatsoever. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but figured I’d give it a try. I always hated my hangy double chin. After eight months, I have the tightest, most beautiful neck. Dude, I have a new neck! I am delighted!! I think I paid like $12 for it at the time. Worth it!!! I will use this stuff every day for the rest of my life. Goldbond makes amazing products." —Gloria Betters

Get it from Amazon for $11.97 (also available in a two-pack).

This was an impromptu purchase last fall once I realized just how bad my circa-2018 Asos midi coat was looking. It was SERIOUSLY fuzzy, and I'd been walking around in it, not even realizing it. How embarrassing for me! So I took this fabric shaver to it while I finally watched Lost early this year. It's a little loud, but it did some WORK. Here's a pic of a sleeve where you can see the difference it's making and also a glamour shot of the gobs of lint and fuzz it's removed from the coat. And unlike with other fabric shavers, there's no guessing how much charge the battery has left. This gadget has a little % countdown that's clear to read. My beloved coat looks brand new!

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in five colors).

AND there's no visible label from the company! 

Promising review: "I had these on my wishlist for a while but was skeptical. I’m glad I finally ordered them! They fit perfectly and are SO much easier to put on than my real Ugg minis, which I love. They’re very comfy and warm. Highly recommend! Glad I bought them to wear while I wait for Ugg to restock their tan ultra minis." —Kamryn

Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in women's sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and in 11 colors). 

The color adaptive formula is designed so one of five shades will work on any skin tone. 

Promising review: "Girlies with dark under-eyes, probs like myself, need to have a brightener! I used to spend $40 on Becca. This one is better, in my opinion!! It’s very pigmented and covers a blue hue in the corners of my eyes. It can be worn alone, but I prefer it under my concealer. It blends incredibly well. Very creamy and easy to apply. It will probably last me six months. A little dab goes a long way. It’s extremely buildable, too. I am just so in love. I’m a sucker for saving money, and this purchase just saved me over $30. I will recommend it to all my friends and family. Just BUY it!" —Caitlin Newcomb

Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in five shades). 

And in case you don't already have a good set, here's a colored pencil set on Amazon for $9.99! 

Promising review: "I LOOOOVE this coloring book! So many cute pages and perfect for spooky season. If you love Halloween and coloring cute images, then this is the book for you. Has a variety of pages and all have the perfect thick lines we all love in coloring books! Add to your cart now!" —Sagrario

Promising review: "Bought these to replace some knockoff Doc Martens I had before, because they are versatile with many outfits — especially this past fall and winter. So far these have been comfortable, great during winter at work and at home, and while a little stiff at first they do get some flexibility over time. They are not a soft, pliable fake leather. It’s pretty straight. So if that’s what you’re looking for these are great!" —Valerie Mills

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in women's sizes 5.5–10 and four styles). 

Promising review: "It matches my decor and is well made and sturdy. The top perch is cozy, and the cushion fits snug. The coffin beds also are well-cushioned to my surprise. It's a good height without being overpowering in the room, and I love the wood base, which gives it a nice look. I recommend!" —Brittany Johnson

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). 

Promising review: "The Fellow Stagg alternative you're looking for. I'll be honest, I was one of those Fellow Stagg cultists and mine broke after some time using it. I'm so glad I checked reviews on Reddit and Amazon, because this thing is amazing. It looks modern and sleek. The temperature controls are accurate and plenty. The boiling speed and 'hold' function are amazing. And most importantly, the price is one-third of the Stagg (less if on sale)!!" —JLS

Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in three styles). 

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

Promising review: "Every year for Halloween I like to do something a little different.... Zombie pops? Yes please! I just bought regular popsicles from the store, put one flavor in a small bowl, and set that bowl into another bowl with hot water in the bottom so it would melt it but not boil it like on the stove. Then I used a funnel and poured it into the zombie mold, placed it in the freezer, and waited ’til the next evening after our spookyacular dinner! The kids loved it, especially when they realized the ice pop stick was a rib cage! It was easy to use and clean up." —Amazon Customer

Get a set of four from Amazon for $16.10 (available in three other styles). 

Promising review: "This item definitely exceeded the definition of cuteness. I bought this for my bookshelf, and now my nieces are asking one for their room. 🎃  Love how it has a timer for 30 minutes. It works great." —Book_Hollows

I indeed found this meme on IG and knew it had to be mine in one physical form or another. So I created a Shutterfly pillow with it! It sits on my couch and often freaks out people I'm video chatting with because it looks like he's always staring at you. Also every man who's walked into my apartment hates it. Which just makes me love it more. It also makes me want some Flamin' Hot Cheetos! I'm currently mulling over making a matching one of Matthew Lillard saying "peer pressure" into the phone. I'll report back. 

Get it from Shutterfly for $44.99+ (available in various sizes and photo configurations).

Psst, I use this with great success on my shower in my rental apartment!

Promising review: "Bought this because of the reviews, and I’m not disappointed. I moved into a rental house that had a dirty tub with those yellow ring stains. I couldn’t get on my knees and scrub them, so I was excited to try this product. It took three sprays with drying time in between, but they are almost invisible. But do be careful because the residue can leave a slippery surface, which the directions warn about." —Michele

Check out a TikTok of the swinging ghost in action. Btw, it has eight different lighting modes, four different brightness levels, and a timer.

Promising review: "I can see why this went viral! So cute, easy to put up and adjust as needed. It’s bright enough to be seen from far away but not obnoxious." —KC

Get it from Amazon for $47.99+ (available in a larger size). 

This also works on Durablend, vinyl, compound, saffiano, faux leather, and other leather or leather-like surfaces.

Promising review: "Used the microfiber cloth to apply and after the first treatment noted only mild improvement, but after the second treatment (done just after the first treatment dried), the stain was not visible!! I then did the entire chair and the results are great. Advice: Do not scrub the area hard. This may roughen up the leather. Apply lightly and wipe off with another microfiber towel." —mich

It can be used on leather shoes, accessories, interiors, furniture, upholstery, saddles, jackets, and tack.

Promising review: "I use this for my everyday boots as well as my dress shoes. I'm not always gentle with my boots and I thought I had ruined them the other day (worn out color, scuffs all over), but I cleaned the muck off, gave them a brushing, then applied this leather honey, and after letting it sit, my boots look almost like the day I bought them! It keeps the leather supple and restores color. You only need to use a small amount per use!" —David Horning

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

Fellow BuzzFeed writer Amanda Davis swears by this spray. Check out her Foot Matters Shoe Stretch spray review for more information!

Promising review: "I purchased my second pair of Dr. Martens three days before I was headed to New Orleans. Seemed like a mistake, right? Maybe it would have been, if I didn't have this spray. I used it once and then walked around the house for a bit with some thick socks on. Then I sprayed the boots again, and put beer cans inside of them and let them sit overnight. I wore my NEW boots all over three different airports (thanks layovers), and all over New Orleans. These were the only boots I packed too. It could have ended up a nightmare but it didn't! My boots still have a little ways to go to be fully broken in, but definitely ahead of schedule when I compare them to my first pair. I will use this spray on every pair of boots from now to forever." —lauren

Promising review: "After using this product, I am happy to report that my $5 investment saved me over $500. I was ready to replace my dishwasher due to super cloudy glasses, residue, and dishes just not getting clean. Then, I became aware that the water softener was no longer doing its job so I had the rental company replace it. Dishwasher performance improved somewhat. I decided to do two more loads before deciding to purchase a new one. Then I saw a product test review for Affresh. I was ordering some stuff from Amazon anyway so I added that to my order. When it came, I tossed one of the tablets into the bottom of the full machine per the instructions and ran the regular cycle. I did not expect the results I got! The glassware that I thought was permanently etched and ruined came out like new. Same with cutlery. The difference is unbelievable. I will use this faithfully every month, as recommended. I can even put it on my subscribe and save order so I will get a new pack every six months. I am amazed!" —Sheila

Promising review: "These coolers are just too much fun to use. Keeps cans and bottles cool and easy to handle. I have several!" —Cindy

Get it from Amazon for $16.95 (available in six colors). BTW, the brand has lots more outerwear options to keep your drinks cool here.

Promising review: "I buy this every winter and it makes a BIG difference! We have super thin windows and this works like a charm to stop 80% of the cold drafts, and I find I can sit right next to the window without a problem after installing them. It's easy to install and looks invisible after you apply heat with a hairdryer. No one will be able to tell there's a film and it'll look completely transparent after you apply heat. It was so satisfying to see the wrinkles disappear! It looks great, works great, and will save your energy! Win win win!" —Raymond

Get it from Amazon for $16.55+ (available in five styles).

Promising review: "These added such a cool touch to my Halloween party. Everyone loved using the syringe to get a shot of alcohol and add it to the blood pouch! Easy to use and the stickers made them look super real!" —Marisa

Promising review: "We have a very large wooded property that requires a lot of leaves and sticks to be raked up. We have tried various brands of leaf scoops but most lasted not even one season. Since purchasing the ReLeaf Leaf Scoops are job has been much easier. First of all is the way your hands grasp the scoops. These are much more ergonomic and are actually like extensions of your own hands. Second, these are very sturdy and do not bend when trying to pick up a pile of sticks and debris. We have made it through the season so far without issue. Next will be the dreaded fall cleanup. I highly recommend the ReLeaf Leaf Scoops which make our yard, woods and garden cleanup easier." —trouble54

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 $73+ (available in twin, full/queen, and king sizes).

Promising review: "I love the design and colors in this rug. It seems to be absorbent, but so far, I just pick up the snow that falls off our boots and toss it. Haven't had to clean it yet, so not able to comment on that. I do have a very good cleaner I'm certain will work on this rug." —NM

Get it from Amazon for $19.69+ (available in two colors and five sizes).

Promising review: "This bat is so freaking adorable. Perfect addition to my triple moon! I plan on getting a few more!! They are handcrafted, and my little goth heart loves it!!!!" —Ashley Cisco

Promising review: "This is great for any decoration. It's thick and nice enough to use again. Totally recommend." —Brandi

Get it from Amazon for $7.39+ (available in black or white).

Promising review: "Changed the oil on my girlfriend's car and some oil spilled on my NEW driveway...which I didn't notice 'til four days later. Four spots all about the size of a dollar bill baking in the Arizona sun for four days. Put the stuff on (sits on the stain like pancake batter — don't be afraid to pour liberally) and let it sit from 6 p.m. 'til about 9 a.m. the next day. It dried and the instructions said to just sweep the stuff up (right, like I am not going to need a scraper and wire scrub pad for an hour. HA). Well it broke apart with the broom and the stains were gone, just swept up the powder pieces — took about a minute. I WAS SHOCKED! Something that actually works on oil and it's easy." —AmazonBob

StoveShelf is a small business, and these shelves are built to last a lifetime. 

Promising review: "I love this. I have a 5-burner stove with nowhere to put my spoon while cooking... this is perfect for my spoon rest! And the magnets are strong and sturdy. I'd buy it again." —Wife of Ellijiah

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in six types and three sizes).

Promising review: "This stuff is magic! Works in seconds! I highly, highly recommend." —Diane Harper
