As a Senior Shopping Writer at BuzzFeed, I specialize in a broad range of topics, including beauty, cleaning, fashion, personal care, home, fitness, and my beloved “TikTok made me buy it.” My work has been featured across lifestyle and writing publications during my ten years in the digital media space, including Bustle, HuffPost, HelloGiggles, and The Washington Post.

Promising review: "These are so cute, arrival was very fast. Can't wait for the season to come and use them. Very happy." —Juliany de Leon

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. 

These are safe for the oven, microwave, and dishwasher! 

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 $13.99+ (available in four colors). 

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 $4.88 (available in four other scents and different sizes, including the iconic Acorn Spice scent 🐿️, which comes in a three-pack!). 

I was very adamant about not buying this for the longest time because I am stubborn about "expensive" beauty products, but this is worth every penny and then some. It's so lightweight and layerable, it's foolproof to apply, and I have yet to wear a single outfit it doesn't complement??? I love watching it instantly elevate a casual look or add simple elegance to dressy ones. I wear it every day now, and after weeks of use, I've barely made a dent. Also, and maybe this is just me, but I tend to get pigment on my teeth with a lot of lip products, and I've simply never had an issue with this magic stick. 

Anyway, watch this TikTok of someone using it on their lips AND cheeks, because I did and oops, this lipstick FELL into my cart. 

Get it from Amazon for $25 (also available in pink honey and nude honey, plus coordinating eye shadow palettes, mascaras, AND eyeliners!). 

Promising review: "These are super comfortable and true to size. The pumpkin image on them is adorable. I didn't have high expectations for these slippers, honestly, but I was so pleasantly surprised when I got them and found they are actually very high quality. The bottoms are a very lightweight, fully flexible rubber-type material." —Jackie Anne

Get them from Amazon for $17.99 (available in women's sizes 5.5–11.5 and ten styles). 

Promising review: "10/10!!!!!!! Definitely would make a great fall scent (but I personally don’t mind wearing it any day of the year). A little definitely goes a long way, as do most of the Al-Rehab oils, which is why they’re my favorite. Also for the price!? AMAZING!!!! The apple scent is 100% there! It’s a bit on the musky side and not extremely fruity, which I enjoy. I RECOMMEND!!!" —Ana

Promising review: "Beautiful. It's heavy, not light. I would order it again." —Jeanie

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

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. 

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

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: "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: "More beautiful than the photos show, if that's possible. I appreciate that it's reversible, as the two distinct colors make it seem like a totally different blanket. It's well constructed, soft, and warm enough to use to sleep with." —Fair Mona

Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in five sizes and 20 styles). 

Promising review: "I received my tree a few days ago, and liked it so much that I ordered another. My husband was the one who suggested we flank the fireplace with them. They are so bright and simple to set up. I couldn’t wait to put them up. I love them!" —K Berglund 

Promising review: "I absolutely fell in love with this body scrub. The scent immediately reminds me of fall — it smells so good without making the experience feel overwhelming. The exfoliating particles are small and feel gentle on my skin. It doesn’t feel harsh or painful when I use it, which I really appreciate. My favorite part is how my skin feels afterward: clean, noticeably soft, smooth, and with that cozy fall scent left behind. I use it about 2–3 times a week, and I especially love pairing it with the Dove Cinnamon Pumpkin Pie body wash. I would definitely get this scrub again." —Dania

Promising review (for the truck): "Great Lego set to add to your Halloween decor." —Shelley 

Get them from Amazon: the Halloween wreath for $39.99 and the truck for $14.95

Promising review: "A very thick, long scarf. Warm, bundled up around your ears. I've been getting compliments left and right — my coworker even asked for one for her birthday, so I have to make another purchase. I love the warmth of it." —Davona Dunns

Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (available in six styles). 

I bought this after being peer-pressured by all the lovely reviews, and I'm happy to report it lives up to the hype. The scent is lovely — it has depth with a hint of floral, but it's light and not at all overpowering. My favorite thing about it is how easily it pairs other scents, because I am a body mist gremlin who swaps out her scents every day. The lather is also deeply satisfying and I feel quite refreshed and squeaky clean without ever feeling dry. 

Promising review: "Cremo's body wash is nothing short of exceptional. If you’re a fan of luxurious fragrances, this product will quickly become your new favorite. It boasts an incredible scent that perfectly mimics Baccarat Rouge 540 — a fragrance renowned for its sophisticated and captivating aroma. What sets this body wash apart is not just its stunning scent but also its longevity. The fragrance lingers beautifully throughout the day, ensuring you stay enveloped in that luxurious aroma long after your shower." —Ralph D. Thompson II

Promising review: "Love my decals. I placed them all over my doors and windows. They were easy to peel off and stuck right on with just sprinkling a little water on the glass. The colors are great. They pop out very well. You can see them all the way from the road. 😂 The quality was also great. I recommend these. I’ll be reordering again next year." —Annette

Promising review: "Amazing! These puzzles are so fun. It’s nice that they start easy and get harder, so you can get used to the format first, then continue to be challenged as you learn how they work. Fun, visually appealing, and sprinkled with humor. I finished this one in about 1.5 months (of fairly dedicated work) and ordered Volume 2 before I was even done with the first one. It’s a higher price point than many puzzle books, but you get high quality for what you pay." —EN

The best part?? Once you finish this version of "Murdling," you can try a whole BUNCH of other themed Murdle books — PLUS a Murdle board game! 

Get it from Amazon for $15.19 (and check out Volume 2 and Volume 3 if you're in the mood for more murrrrderrr). 

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 stuff is like fall in a spray! I’m walking around like the commercial! Spraying it everywhere!" —Hippiesoul4evr

Promising review: "This poopy smell goes away almost instantly. The longevity of the smell is amazing, and it works well with any air quality and makes the bad smell go away fast super good value for money, and the capacity is pretty big. The bottle of capacity holds a lot, which is good and just a good size." —alligator

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: "I LOVE these! After I tried the first pair, I went back and bought two more colors. I feel so cute and confident wearing these overalls. The pockets are great too.
