Time to slather your autumnal self in some pumpkin chai body lotion and snuggle in your absurdly long knit cardigan.

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

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 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). 

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

The best part?? Once you finish "Murdling," you can use your sleuthing skills on Volume 2, Volume 3, and a whole BUNCH of other themed Murdle books — PLUS a Murdle board game and a book of Murdoku!!! 

Promising review: "The puzzles are a lot of fun, but the characters, story lines, and other details take the Murdle experience to another level. I have no idea how the author came up with all of this creativeness! You can Murdle solo or with friends. I look forward to future volumes, but this one will keep me busy for awhile!" —Liz Gately

Get it from Amazon for $8.73 (available in three other flavors). 

Promising review: "This dust is the best seasoning in the world. I use it on everything. I actually use this to season pork, don’t knock it ’til you try it. It’s really good to put on ribs. You can put it on waffles. You can put it on cereal, you can put it on oatmeal, you name it." —Sarah N. Donnie

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

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. 

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 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: "I love these! Halloween is my favorite holiday, and these are a great subtle way to show some Halloween flair. They are a bit higher than your average ankle sock, which I think is great and allows the design to show well. They’re the perfect thickness." —Carly Bee

Promising review: "Absolutely love these. I work with boilers, so I am rough with my hands and these last. Also, if I happen to pop one off, I can pop another back on in seconds. The glue is very strong, and they come off so easily with the same brand removal oil. They are so quick to put on, I get a beautiful set of nails in under 15 minutes. Great value for the money. I like the thickness as they are not bulky, but definitely not thin. The color is stunning! I have purchased about seven different sets, as well as the toenails. Highly recommend." —Lynn
