It’s only sensible to buy yourself a Jack Skellington–shaped kitchen sponge and a cinnamon dolce hydrating lip oil.

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

Promising review: "Good value. It’s perfect. Great size. Fits the characters to a T." —Flaggirl 0710

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

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. 

Londontown is a small business that specializes in nail care products. 

Promising review: "Of all the nail polishes I’ve used, this brand is the best. No base or top coats, just flawless, shiny finishes. One coat sheer color, two coats for more depth, or add a third for extra oomph. And it has staying power. Worth every penny. I’m looking for ease and beauty. This is it." —Gail E. Boynton

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

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: "Keeps my water ice-cold all day long! The handle is super comfortable to hold, and it fits perfectly in my car cup holder. No leaks, and it looks great. 10/10 recommend! Definitely better and colder than Stanley." —Steven

Get it from Amazon for $27.97 (available in dozens of other styles). 

Promising review: "I have to wear my hair up for work. These are great to dress up a simple pony! The colors are exactly as shown and go with a variety of outfits. The quality is top-notch." —SunnyStyle

Get a set of two from Amazon for $8.99 (also available as single ties and in smaller sizes). 

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:  "These waffle-knit kitchen towels are so cute and the perfect addition to my fall decor! I love the watercolors. The towels were good quality, and the colors held up in the wash. I’d recommend these!" —Jennifer

Check out a TikTok of the skull pan in action. 

Promising review: "This is a great pan. It's made out of cast aluminum and is surprisingly heavy but very easy to use. Our muffins turned out great and popped right out, and the pan is very easy to clean. It's oven-safe up to 400 degrees. You do have to be careful not to scratch the nonstick surface." —LaffingKat

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 

Get them from Amazon for $49.90 (available in sizes 5.5–11 and 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: "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: "It's a beautiful light nude coloring on the lips. It smells delicious and keeps my lips moisturized. It's not sticky, and I love the chunky applicator. I'll definitely be repurchasing. Maybe try the other scents as well. Good quality." —Kbabe

Get it from Amazon for $8.71 (available in three other flavors). 

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 Gap for $49.99+ (originally $99.95; available in sizes XS–XXL, tall and petite sizes, and three washes). 

Promising review: "I love this little guy. I found him on a BuzzFeed list and had to have it as soon as I saw it! I’ve minced as many as five cloves in it in seconds. It’s a little tricky getting all of the garlic out once minced (I use a silicone basting brush to get most of it, but I always use more than the recipe calls for anyway, so it’s not a deal breaker). Cleanup is a breeze because he goes right in the dishwasher!" —Barbie

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 $39.99+  (available in ten styles). 

I am a big fan of all things Snoopy, so I came to this body wash with a clear bias, but I do genuinely love the scent on top of the VERY cute branding! It is delightfully autumnal and leans a little apple-y to me, in the coziest way. It is the perfect amount of sweet without being cloying and fresh without being sharp. My skin feels great after using it, and I love looking at the cute graphic whenever I'm in the shower!! 

Get it from Native for $11 (also available in two other Peanuts-inspired scents). 

Promising review: "This face mask is amazing. My skin is much more sensitive now that I am older, and many exfoliating masks leave my skin red and irritated for days afterward. This seems to be gentle but effective. It smells like a real pumpkin, not some artificial chemical compound made to smell like pumpkin, which is a huge plus for me. Pumpkin is amazing for your skin and a great way to show yourself a little TLC at home." —Vitalicious Living Favorite Things 

Get it from Amazon for $25.95 (available in five styles). 

Promising review: "Perfect. So cute and sturdy for my headphones, I love it." —Yaneliz

Get it from Amazon for $15 (also available as a bat and a pumpkin!). 

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: "I have had this straw topper for only two days and have already received so many compliments from friends and individuals at the gym. I find it great that you get four toppers for such a good price, but these are such good quality that I don't imagine they will break easily. The ghost is the perfect size, doesn't look too big on the straw, and really grips onto the straw! I am someone who likes to celebrate spooky season all year, so these are perfect!!" —Marina 

Get a set of four from Amazon for $5.99. 

Promising review: "My best friend loved this for her birthday. She loves Halloween and tea, and this was such a cute and perfect gift." —Harley Nixon

Promising review: "It works!! This works great for hot or cold beverages. Frees a hand when I am carrying a fast-food takeout order." —deb

These include a citrus-y, mellow blend of coconut and blood orange in Midnight Margarita balm and a floral, bright blend of lemonade, rose, and lavender in the Garden Spell balm. 

Promising review: "This is a quality product in my opinion. Equal to Moleskine sketchbooks at half the price. I don't often write reviews, but I have purchased and used a few of these, filled them up, carried them about, and found them quite durable." —E. D. Scoville 

Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in 26 colors with blank, lined, dotted, or grid pages). 

Promising review: "I love this faux leather jacket! The material is soft, and the inside lining gives it a nice, finished feel. I also like that it has a strip down the front to cover the zipper, which gives it a clean, sleek look. This is the perfect jacket for spring, fall, and early winter. It’s versatile — you can dress it up or down. I can’t wait to pair it with jeans and boots. I’ve ordered other clothing from this company before and have never been disappointed. The quality is consistently solid, and this jacket is no exception. I’m glad I ordered it." —Rita
