Okay, I'm gonna get real here: I typically don't love pumpkin scents or anything that runs on the "sweeter" side. But this Pumpkin Chai body lotion is the holy grail of pumpkin scents. It is somehow rich, warm, and light at the same time, and so perfectly balanced that the sweetness feels more like a top note than an overwhelming one. It smells strangely nostalgic?? Like, it smells like autumn personified, if all the best, most delicious, most cozy parts of it got combined. I am so picky that I was expecting to tolerate this at best, but I am going to mourn it deeply when pumpkin season is over!! And as always, this stuff packs a hydrating punch. My knees were super raw and dry for reasons unknown, but after putting this on twice a day for three days, they're good as new, and I'm not randomly itching them anymore. 

Promising review: "I absolutely love this sweatshirt! The oversize fit is exactly what I was looking for — comfortable and perfect for everyday wear. The quilted Henley placket adds a unique touch that makes it look more stylish than a regular sweatshirt. The fabric is soft, cozy, and warm without feeling too heavy, making it perfect for fall and winter. It pairs easily with leggings, jeans, or joggers for a casual but put-together look. The quality is better than I expected, and it has held up well after washing without shrinking or losing its shape. I'll be ordering more colors!" —Nisha

Promising review: "Love this Warm Vanilla scent! Warming fragrance lingers even as it dissolves well in the bathtub. When I looked at the fragrance components, I was doubtful I would like it, but the combination does impart a warm vanilla scent." —Erma

Promising review: "I absolutely love the Ugg Kirkwood throw blanket. It is unbelievably soft and cozy with a high-quality feel you notice right away. It arrives packaged really nicely, so it would make for the perfect gift. The weight is perfect, and it looks really nice on my couch or bed. It has held up well with no shedding and has quickly become my favorite blanket for relaxing. Definitely worth it for the comfort and quality." —Mika Fox

Get it from Amazon for $98 (available in 11 styles). 

Promising review: "You want to romanticize your day? Sprinkle this crunchy goodness on your whipped cream-topped iced coffee or hot cocoa! It shakes easily out of the little container or dump it into your favorite kitchen trinket dish! My son even sprinkles a bit on his oatmeal! I love adding little extras to my routine during the holidays for a special treat. This is perfect!" —Meredith Snedeker

Promising review: "I'm normally a St. Ives girly but decided to give this a try and OMG!! If heaven had a scent, it would be this. It leaves my skin feeling cotton soft and smelling amazing. Loving it!" —Latoya

I bought these on Prime Day, which is the only day I will buy leggings because I hate wearing leggings with a burning passion. My "I'm not like other girls" bit is that, for some reason, I am always more comfortable in jeans than leggings. BUT NOT THESE!!! They slide on. The fabric is so lightweight and breathable that it feels like a whisper. The band is so deceptively comfortable that sometimes I'm like, "Am I still wearing them??" I use them to run outdoors because that is the only circumstance I'll wear leggings, and I'm happy to report that after several washes, they are durable and compressive enough to withstand workouts. They would be excellent for lounging if I weren't wired in this odd anti-legging way. I have already bought two more pairs and made my friends buy them, too. 

Promising review: "Super comfy. I usually don’t write reviews, but I tried these first before buying Lulu, and these are the most comfortable leggings for everyday and even for workouts. Highly recommended!" —Criselle Johnson

Get them from Amazon for $28 (available in sizes XXS–XXL, two inseams, and 21 styles). 

Promising review: "Love them! They are so warm. I am cold every month of the year. My feet stay blue. Not with these. They are warm, look good, and feel good. I can wear them with a low-cut shoe. I’ve washed them in the machine and hung them up to dry. No problem. Highly recommend for those of us with perennial cold feet." —Frances

Get a set of five from Amazon for $8.98+ (available in a variety of color combos and styles).

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 $4.89 (also available in two other scents and different sizes, including the iconic Acorn Spice scent 🐿️, which comes in a three-pack!). 

Promising review: "Pretty, bright, lightweight flannel shirts. This is NOT a heavyweight or bulky shirt. This is very light, but perfect for a cool autumn evening. The colors are perfect. Vibrant plaids. I have two now and will probably buy more." —karen

Promising review: "Feeling how soft the Squishmallow kids' toys are, I decided to try out the pillow for sleeping since I have yet to find the right pillow. This pillow is the best I've come across — perfect amount of head support and super comfortable. Even the provided pillow cases are soft and inviting." —TAP

Get a set of two (plus pillowcases!) from Amazon for $49.99. 

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 to 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

Psst — you can pick up a cult-fave colored pencil set on Amazon!

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: "After trying many pairs of sneakers, I assumed there just weren’t any comfortable, stylish sneakers out there, for me. The Project Cloud sneakers are totally the exception; not only do they look great, but they are also so comfortable. Right out of the box, they fit and felt like everything I had been looking for. I absolutely love them and highly recommend them to anyone looking for that perfect pair of sneakers." —Teresa Barton

According to Johns Hopkins, you may want to avoid diffusing oils around larger groups and young children because of the side effects of different oils. You may also want to avoid using an oil diffuser around pets with breathing problems, according to the ASPCA.

Promising review: "This is the most beautiful and calming aromatherapy oil diffuser I have seen. This is incredibly easy to use and features various timer buttons that can be shut off at your discretion. I love to watch its realistic 'flame' effect. The scent emits wonderfully. It also looks beautiful in my home. This was a great value for the price and great quality." —Amanda

Promising review: "So excited I got this for fall. The color is vibrant and beautiful, it's long and comfy, not itchy, and has huge pockets. I can't wait to wear it. Also has long comfy sleeves that cover the hands just right. Can't wait to cozy up in this this fall. May order more." —Sassafrass1

Check out a TikTok of the Ugg Classic Micro Boots in action. 

If my feet could write love songs, they would have penned a Billboard hit for these boots. I am obsessed with them in the cooler months. They are SO so so so so so so so comfortable. I walk around five miles a day and these hold up beautifully and feel amazing the entire time. They also style so well with jeans and leggings that when I have "ah, what shoes do I wear with this??" indecision, the Uggs win out every time. Also, they hit SO different when I was pregnant — getting to put these on my feet was one of my main motivators for getting out the door in the third trimester, and they were also so lovely for easing back into activity postpartum! 

Get them from Ugg for $140 (available in sizes 5–12 and seven colors). 

Promising review: "What a beautiful piece! IT'S GORGEOUS!!!! I can't say enough about the quality; the colors are just incredible. It's perfect for your portion of cereal, soup, casserole, mac 'n' cheese, ice cream, or cookies, and you can even put a beverage in it. I thought it was small, it's not large, but it can take a generous helping of whatever you decide to put in it." —Teri Breci

Get it from Amazon for $33.88+  (available in ten styles). 

I am not kidding!!! American Eagle does a different Snoopy pajama in this "luxe" fabric every season — I got a cowboy set a few years ago that's so soft that I dream about wearing it all day.

Get it from American Eagle: Miffy for $38.46 and Snoopy for $29.97 (available in women's sizes XXS–XXL).

Some reviewers suggest sizing down if you don't want too much of an oversized fit! 

Promising review: "This is the second one I've bought. It is super warm and so cozy. Very much like the Barefoot Dreams material. It runs super oversized, so I suggest sizing down one or even two sizes. I'm keeping mine to wear with leggings for that big on top, cozy look, but I would size down if I bought another to wear with jeans/pants." —Tina B

Get it from Amazon for $27.97+ (available in women's sizes XS–XL and 31 styles).

The quality is excellent, from the beautiful fabric to the neat stitching and thoughtful design. It gives my bed such a clean, cozy, hotel-like feel and makes bedtime something I genuinely look forward to. This quilt is perfect for anyone who wants their bedding to feel soft, breathable, and premium.

Psst — you can also get a body pillowcase on Amazon in tons of colors! 

Promising review: "I recently purchased this memory foam body pillow, and it has completely transformed my sleep experience. From the very first night, I noticed a significant improvement in my comfort and overall sleep quality. The pillow’s memory foam material is incredibly supportive yet soft. It contours perfectly to my body, providing just the right amount of pressure relief to my neck, back, and hips. This has been especially helpful for me as a side sleeper, as it keeps my spine properly aligned throughout the night, reducing any stiffness or soreness in the morning. One of the standout features of this body pillow is its full-body length. It’s long enough to cradle my entire body, allowing me to comfortably hug it while resting. This provides excellent support whether I’m sleeping or just lounging in bed reading or watching TV. Overall, this memory foam body pillow is a fantastic investment for anyone seeking better sleep and added comfort." —sunny

Bambusi is a small business that specializes in quality-made home products. 

Promising review: "Surprisingly sturdy and well made. Assembly and construction is excellent, and the accessories are quite clever. On balance, the tray is impressive and well worth its cost. A thoughtful gift, especially for anyone who likes to relax in the tub, but not without their accessories and a glass of wine." —Barry

Promising review: "My mug came in yesterday and I love it! It’s sturdy, it’s a nice size, and the colors are vibrant. So glad I decided to get it!" —Naya Jackson

Promising review: "This tea was a nice splurge. It's worth treating yourself to it at least once. I had never tried it, and I love Earl Grey, and oh my goodness.. It's SO good! The whiskey/vanilla flavor is very much a bourbon cask flavor, but doesn't overpower the tea. Earl Grey is still very front and center. It's so well crafted. The tea was well sealed and fresh. Highly recommend." —Melissa G

Promising review: "I’ve been searching for a pair of slippers for a long time. I have literally bought and returned many. I bought a pair for my husband, and he loved them, so I decided to try them. So glad I did. Love the color, fit, comfort, and warmth. Also, machine washable. I’m going to buy another style. Highly recommend." —J

Promising review: "This thing is great! I’m home on maternity leave with my new baby and spend most of my time on the couch under a sleeping baby. This product makes it easy for me to keep my drinks, remote, etc close by even with dogs running around. It’s a little more expensive than I would have liked, but it works, and I love it, so money well spent!" —Amber

Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in nine patterns). 

Promising review: "Totally worth every penny! The base is a beanbag made of a soft yet high-quality material. The beanbag makes the table portion very comfortable and also conforms to your lap, sofa, or other surface, ensuring its stability. The stand itself is also very sturdy and easily adjustable. It does not get flimsy over time or loose, so you don't have to worry about it holding your Kindle or iPad and then eventually sagging. It can even be removed from the table if you wish, making the table even more functional for other uses. It is very easy to use, lightweight, easily adjustable, and strong!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! Love the look. Love the temperature settings, although I don't believe I will use the lower ones since the 170 seems to be just right for me. Very simple to operate. Perfect Christmas gift or stocking stuffer for my daughter-in-law." —rkd

Promising review: "This blanket iss soft and of quality! I sleep with it every night. I love all of the settings and rarely set it over two. There is a timer, so it shuts off on its own. It’s lightweight and plush all at once. The heat is just enough to soothe achy joints, and the lightweight feel allows room to breathe, so you still get the effects of the heat without becoming too warm. So far, I have not had any problems with it! The cord is removable, so you can wash it as well. I am 5’9” and it is big enough to cover me completely. I highly recommend this blanket." —ENVYGRL8

Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in five sizes and six colors). 

Promising review: "This robe feels so luxurious. It is so soft and cozy yet not too heavy. Definitely worth the price. It fits just the way I like it. It doesn’t shed — not yet at least, and it absorbs water just like a regular towel. I didn’t want the hood which is why I chose this robe. This robe feels like a warm hug." —Tejal Dumasia

Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in women's sizes S–3X and 14 colors).
