Time to get your snuggle on with with this book of mini murder mystery puzzles and this deeeecadent whiskey fig vanilla tea.

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 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 $12.99 (available in women's sizes 5.5–11.5 and ten 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: "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: "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

Get it from Amazon for $6.39. (Psst — you can also try the popular "cozy vanilla season" before it sells out for the season!!)

Promising review: "I love this crop top Halloween sweatshirt! It is a lightweight, good-quality, thin material. The little elbow patch ghosts are adorable! The arm length is perfect, and the color is accurate. It fits true to size. Everyone at work was complimenting my shirt all day on Halloween!" —SeeAirUh

Get it from Amazon for $14.98 (available in women's sizes S–XXL and 19 styles). 

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: "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 absolutely love this mini projector! It’s compact, easy to set up, and the picture quality is surprisingly impressive for such a small device. The portability is a huge plus — I can easily move it from room to room or take it with me when traveling. The Roku interface makes streaming incredibly convenient, and everything works smoothly. Great quality, great size, and excellent value for the price. Definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a portable projector!" —Sebastian

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: "SUCH a great introduction to color by numbers! Lots of cozy, peaceful scenes to pick from, and the book size is great for carrying around with you. All you need is a small packet of Artistro black acrylic markers, and you're set! They don't bleed through either, thanks to the thick, one-sided paper. It's also super fun to slowly reveal the whole picture by coloring in only the areas with the 'O.' I can't wait to work through this one and invest in more of these books! Well worth the money if you want a relaxing new hobby!" —Sabrina

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: "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

Get it from Amazon for $47.98+ (available in five styles). 

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 three colors). 

Promising review: "These are really good and fresh. Not hard like some other types I have had in the past. I will definitely order these again." —danny green

Promising review: "These pajama pants are so nice, they are thick but breathable material, and they have some stretch to them also! They run true to size. I would definitely consider ordering another pair!" —Amanda Ross

Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in women's sizes S–XXL and 12 styles). 

Promising review: "Tastes like a churro 🤤. These are addictive, so crunchy and sweet. Portion size is perfect, lasts me a few days, but I just snack a little here and there. I feel like I should stock up in case they run out and don't bring this flavor back." —Gabby

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: "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

Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in women's sizes S–XXL and 20 colors). 

Promising review: "This guy is adorable for my daughter’s Halloween room. Not enough light to read by, but a perfect night-light decoration." —Angela Weeden

Psst — reviewers mention stocking up on these because they're SUPER cheap on Amazon, and hard to find in stores! 

Promising review: "Love the taste. I put it on everything. Ribs, pork chops, chicken, even burgers. They all tasted great." —Judy

Promising review: "La Jolie Muse candles are elegant, beautifully packaged, and, more importantly, smell spectacular! I cannot get enough of this fragrance. It is warm and cozy without being overpowering. The candle itself burns evenly, and you just can't beat their quality. Yes, you will pay a little bit more for their products, but I find a treat like this to be worth it. This is my third Sahara Amber candle from La Jolie Muse, and I couldn't be happier!" —Lila 

Get it from Amazon for $29 (available in nine other scents). 

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.

This diffuser comes with two scents that vary by candle color, but you can try more scents on Lifeline's product page! 

Promising review: "I really love this diffuser! I have three in my house. It’s a great alternative if you can’t or don’t want to use real candles, and it actually looks really nice sitting out. It works surprisingly well, too — the scent definitely carries through the room and makes the space smell better." —CBE 

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in six colors). 

Mellow is a small business that specializes in sleep products. 

Promising review: "I absolutely love my Mellow Sleep quilt! It feels incredibly soft, smooth, and luxurious against the skin, while still being wonderfully light and comfortable. 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. I’m extremely happy with my purchase and would highly recommend Mellow Sleep to anyone looking to upgrade their sleep experience. Definitely five stars!" —Betty

Get it from Amazon for $113.99+ (available in Twin—Cal King and four colors). 

UMMMMM I have one of these in pink, and it is so snuggly wuggly woogly wonderful. Whenever I see it at the end of a long day, I am like, "YES, MY FLUFFY KINGDOM." My favorite part is that it's so snuggly that my seven-month-old creature (pictured above) likes to get wrapped in it like a baby burrito, so we can snuggle together. I don't think I have ever touched a blanket so deliciously soft and fluffy in my whole life. 

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). 

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: "I've already planned on buying my next bag. I was excited to try, as I love sweets 😅 and love cashews. So I figured this would be worth trying.  I sat and ate the whole bag as soon as I opened it. They were absolutely fresh and delicious!! I couldn't get enough of them. They weren't too sweet, honestly, they were just the right amount." —Destiny

Promising review: "I love how this game is compact and in a tin can. You can bring it with you for quick game nights with friends or play solo while taking breaks at work. Easy to understand, set up, and pack up. Art is cute and playful. Good if you are looking for a quick appetizer for your game night." —Margaret V-B 

There's also 16 grams of protein in there, if you can power through the heat!! 🥵 

Promising review: "My new favorite soup. Big can, big flavor, and it has enough ghost pepper to leave your eyes watering long after you're finished. I'm going to be keeping a case on hand. Campbell's hit a home run with this product." —James Corridan

Get it from Amazon for $3.53 (available in other non-ghostly flavors as well). 

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 $31.88+  (available in ten styles).

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 

Get a set of five from Amazon for $13.89 (available in three other 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 $31.49+ (available in five sizes and 20 styles). 

Promising review: "This 3D puzzle planter is the cutest thing. It’s easy to put together and and it looks great with a little succulent in it." —slj

Get it from Amazon for $20.99 (available in nine patterns). 

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
