If the first day of autumn is basically a personal holiday and you can already smell crisp apples and wet leaves, these picks will help you enjoy every last bit of it.

I’m a Shopping Fellow who has scored a lot of holy grails from BuzzFeed Shopping over the years, and I’m eager to pay it forward.

And make sure you check out the matching body mist to really up your warm, sugary-spiced scent trail.

Promising review: "I'm not a huge pumpkin scent fan, but this is nice. I don't get a lot of pumpkin. I get more nutmeg, vanilla, and milk froth. Then, after 30 minutes or so, I get a sweet milky vanilla that lingers for a while. This is not a strong scent; it's more subtle. This somewhat reminds me of Victoria's Secret Whipped Milk & Sugar (I like the EOS more), or VS Vanilla Mousse (a little). It hydrates and works well." —R

Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (also available in seven other scents).

Promising review: "I absolutely love this bandana! It’s perfect for fall and Thanksgiving. The colors are so warm and festive. I ordered a large for my 80-pound dog, and it fits him perfectly. He looks so handsome in it, and we’ve already gotten so many compliments! Great quality, great fit, and totally worth it for the seasonal photos!" —Lindsay Pycz

Get two from Amazon for $10.99 (available in three sizes and 17 colors).

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says, "I bought this because I crave that Black Honey and will buy it until the day I die, but I am always paranoid of losing it, so I almost never let it leave my bag. I have tried probably five or six 'almost' versions of Black Honey that came close, but this one genuinely spooked me. It has the same easy glide, same buildability, and the same refreshingly hydrating effect. It was a two-pack so I gave one to my BFF, another Black Honey fan, who also could not detect the difference!"

Promising review: "Better than Clinique! I bought this one on a whim, but never liked the real Black Honey Almost Lipstick by Clinique, since it tends to run red on me. This shade, in my opinion, is exactly what Black Honey SHOULD be, as it looks more like Black Honey in pictures. For the price, it can’t be beat, so I’m buying more." —HAC 

Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (or get a two-pack for $9.99; also available in pink and nude shades).

Promising review: "True fit, nice rigid structure with plenty of comfort and super soft cord fabric. The perfect pant to slide into fall. Bought white and honey brown. Going back for navy!" —Mickey

Get them from Land's End for $89.95 (available in women's sizes 2–18 in regular and petite, 6–18 in tall, and 16W–26W in plus size).

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

Promising review: "They were easy to assemble, come with lots of extra stem pieces so you can make the stem longer or shorter, they look great and last forever!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four colors). 

Promising review: "It is amazing! It has a warm, cozy fragrance with hints of cinnamon, clove, and a little sweetness that reminds me of fall and the holidays. Just two sprays and you can smell it; also, it has no lingering odors at all. It didn’t leak! I love the small size because it is easy to carry in my bag or keep in the bathroom without taking up space. The scent feels festive but not overpowering, and guests always ask what it is because it smells so good. It’s worth the price, though I wish it were a little cheaper." —Lesedi

The 100% cotton fabric gets softer and more relaxed with repeated washing, and it works just as well as a couch throw, bed layer, or travel blanket. 

Promising review: "I ordered this blanket because I like to always be covered when I’m asleep, but even my thin coverlet was too hot at night now that it’s real summer. The weight of this blanket is like a heavy flat sheet — like the ones made of fleece or flannel — but it doesn’t trap heat like those. A smaller one would be good for the couch, too, just to keep the breeze of the ceiling fan off me." —Jacwo2

Get it from Amazon for $21.84 (available in 22 colors and two throw sizes as well as twin–California king).

B.Yellowtail is an Indigenous woman-owned fashion and lifestyle brand specializing in authentic native design. 

Get it from B.Yellowtail for $59 (available in women's sizes 1X–4XL). 

Promising review: "Best-tasting cookie ever. These are so delicious. I wish they were sold all year long. The best cookies I have ever tasted. My only complaint is that there should be more cookies in the package." —Linda Wyatt

Get it from Amazon for $5.39 (available in three other flavors). 

You can check out the Acorn Spice and Apple Cider scents, too.

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. 

Promising review: "I have super thick hair so I always wear scrunchies. These haven’t stretched out after weeks of use. They don’t slip at all, it’s a cute print as well. It’s perfect for fall." —Amazon Customer 

Promising review: "This terracotta runner absolutely made this fall centerpiece!!! The color is rich, the fabric is soft, and it has enough 'body' to make a beautiful arrangement. Love, love, love that I have found this!!! Perfect!!" —Harris

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 25 colors and various packs).

The image above shows some sugar skulls from Mexican Sugar Skull, in case you're not familiar, but they weren't made using this particular mold. This mold makes a half-skull, which is easier and takes fewer ingredients. 

I made about 40 sugar skulls in one night using this mold since I put myself in charge of making these the night before a college fair. Fortunately, it was pretty easy: You only need meringue powder and heavy granulated sugar to make the mold, plus concentrated paste food coloring for the royal icing. The kit includes detailed instructions. 

Mexican Sugar Skull is a Latine-owned small business that was one of the first to sell sugar skull molds and papel picado. 

Promising review: "Arrived very quickly! It will make beautiful sugar skulls. I have the larger mold already but wanted a smaller option." —sansan 

Get it from Mexican Sugar Skull on Etsy for $20. 

Promising reviews: "Fit great, looks cute. Even wore them on a few-mile walk and didn’t get blisters." —Laurence Grante III

"These boots fit perfectly. The quality is great so far, and they are super comfy. GET these for fall!!" —BH

Get them from Amazon for $34.99 (available in women's sizes 6–11 and in eight colors).

There's also a matching dish towel that would look so, so cute hanging somewhere in your kitchen.

Promising review: "The colors are rich and beautiful. Perfect for the fall pie season." —Dotbackwards

Promising review: "This is the second one I've bought! I seriously LOVE these flannels!! It's going to be hard not to get one in every color! If I could give it 10 stars, I would. So soft, warm, and perfect for my fall outfits!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in women's sizes S–XXL and in 19 colors). 

Promising review: "This kit is so easy to use! Instructions were clear and the candy apples were delicious. Decided to add Nerds candy to some of them!" —Nella Love

Promising review: "If you're a fan of Gilmore Girls or just a coffee/tea lover, you'll love this cup and saucer set! Nice quality. I'm using mine to hold creamer pods or sugar packets (whichever I have on hand) on my coffee bar, and it looks great. Great oversize cup for drinking or decorating. Going to purchase another for my 'Rory' :) Definitely recommend." —Sandy

Each set includes Maple Apple Cider, Decaf Pumpkin Spice, Cinnamon Apple Chamomile, Cranberry Pomegranate, Cinnamon Vanilla, and Spice Red Dragon Chai. 

Promising review: "I love the different flavors that the six boxes have. They're nice and relaxing. I do plan to order again when I run out of tea. If you are looking for various types of tea flavors, this is it! The flavors are excellent." —Arlynda Thompson

Get a set of six from Amazon for $19.99. 

Promising review: "Love this for my dog. She loves a pup cup, so obviously I had to get her a Starbucks toy! Very durable, and I get so many funny comments on her toy! Absolutely obsessed with this." —Cindy Sparco

Promising review: "I love these socks. It is like a warm hug wearing them. I get cold feet and especially cold ankles. These may not work in the dead of winter with snow on the ground (we’ll have to see - but I’ll try next winter) but they are working great today. It is cool and rainy and just what I need to keep my toes and ankles warm. I love the softness and the fit, just enough support around arch, and elastic at top is perfect. I love having 70% wool socks - very hard to find. I highly recommend these." —Rojean Taylor

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in medium and large, and in eight colors). 

If you'd love even more fall-themed options (and who could blame you), Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Swirl is another crowd favorite. 

Heads up: 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: "The design is so pretty. It is perfect for the upcoming fall months. Goes well with the aesthetic I am already trying to achieve. The smell is great. Has my kitchen smelling wonderful!" —KendraM

Get it from Walmart for $11.96 (also available in purple and wood styles). 

Chai Spiced Apple is also available as a fragrance oil refill, and if you don't already have a wax melter, this one is super cute. 

Promising review: "Smells like a cozy autumn day. The smell is warm, rich, and peppery. I can smell it throughout my entire house, and the cubes seem to hold the scent for a long time, extending your dollar. I love that I can transport myself into a different season with a simple wax melt." —Emily

Promising review: "These are awesome slippers! I just ordered my second pair in the more chestnut brown color, but my first pair was in apricot. Both pairs arrived true to color and true to size. They are very comfy, and you can definitely feel the memory foam insoles. As for durability, these slippers feel like they are built to last!" —Coral

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in women's sizes 5.5–12 and 20 colors/styles). 

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: "I [love] this pumpkin spice cold brew! After reading other reviews it seems like it's a pretty big club 😸. To be honest, I love most anything pumpkin spice, from Bath and Body Works to Little Debbie. But this is special! I make it 50/50 with ice water, then add sweetener and French Vanilla creamer, then every afternoon I put up my 73-year-old feet and ENJOY! It's sheer indulgence and I am not a bit ashamed. 😻 So, cheers to all and happy autumn!" —Joycat17

Get it from Amazon for $8.97 (also available in unflavored or caramel and in a two-pack).

Promising review (of the bread set): "These bread-shaped catnip toys are a hit with my cat. They’re small and soft, making them easy for her to carry around and bat across the floor. The catnip inside keeps her engaged, and the cute designs (like tiny baguettes and croissants) are just as fun for me as they are for her. After weeks of play, the toys have held up well—no rips or loose threads. Perfect for cats who love to toss, pounce, and cuddle their toys. Definitely recommend for some lighthearted fun!" —Paige

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes says, "I ordered this WoodWick candle in the 21.5-ounce size and already know I'll be coming back for more. The scent is so incredible and genuinely fills the whole room, and it has that cozy crackling sound thanks to the wooden wick that I adore. I feel like it'll last me a while too, so it's totally worth the price."  

Promising review: "One of our favorites! Makes the house smell like an expensive mountain lodge :). Love the look as well, fits nicely on a narrow table or mantle. It burns well and the iconic crackle of wood wicks…love." —Tina Petty

Get it from Amazon for $16.87+ (available in three sizes).

Promising review: "Beautifully solid, super shiny nail polish. One coat is all you need. Looks a little cloudy when it first goes on, but once dry, it has the perfect reflective chrome look I was hoping for. As an artist, I use my nails a lot, so it does chip a little without a top coat. Even so, it lasts for a while (days to a week for me). Comes off super easy with acetone without staining or getting sticky. I'm buying more for sure." —S. Besco

Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in 25 shades). 

Freyja's Daughters is a small business specializing in occult- and magic-inspired fragrances. 

Promising review: "This solid perfume is wonderful! It starts as a fallen leaves and acorns scent, and I just love that when it dries down, it still carries that super autumn apple orchard scent. It’s handy because you can wear it on a chain and sniff it all day long!" —Amity

Get it from Freyja's Daughters on Etsy for $9.99. 

You can get similar round vases or a black vase for your flowers. 

Promising review: "I am very picky about faux flowers, and these are a yes from me! They can get very full and make a huge arrangement. Realistic look, bendable without breaking, doesn’t have a weird smell, and the material seems like good quality." —Karla Forsythe

Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in 15 colors). 

Sage & Saddle is a small business that specializes in creating bolo ties using copper, silver, and gemstones.

Promising review: "Saw a bolo tie at a lil' thrift store but it wasn't quite right — so glad I did some shopping and happened upon this one. It's gorgeous. Not too big, not too small. Genuine leather cord (passed sniff test lol). Very excited to wear this with my vests. Thank you, Sage & Saddle!" —Sam 

Get it from Sage & Saddle on Etsy for $25.66+ (available in two sizes and six cord colors). 

Promising review: "I have never been so excited about a slipcover. Total transformation of our couch and loveseat. I was worried about it not working on our leather couch, but it stays on really well due to the straps and the separate cushion covers. LOVE." —Brian/Liz

Get it from Amazon for $34.49+ (available in eight sizes and 21 colors).

Promising review: "My head tends to hurt when wearing headbands, but this is such good quality, and it’s cute! I definitely channel my inner Carolyn Bessette when I wear it :)" —Kaela D.

Just note that these are pillow *covers* so you'll want to grab inserts for them if needed! Pro tip: Opt for inserts that are 2 inches larger than your covers for optimal fluffiness. 

Promising review: "These pillow covers are a ten! The colors are beautiful and great quality! I have ordered four sets in different colors and sizes and will order more!" —Angie

Get the set from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in 23 colors and seven sizes). 

La Monarca Bakery is a family-owned chain of bakeries based in Los Angeles that specializes in authentic Mexican flavors. 

Promising review: "This is amazing! The taste is great. For those who say that it doesn't dissolve all the way or that it's gritty, that's how Mexican hot chocolate tends to be. Professor Google can confirm...lol. Definitely will buy again!" —Susan

Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available as a pack of two 10-ounce bags or a single 32-ounce bag). 

Unicorn Snot is a small business that specializes in glitter gel, hair, body, and lip paint. 

Promising review: "Great color, wonderful shine, and it lasted all day! Used for my costume for our dance group, and it didn't sweat off; I hydrated, and it didn't wash away — my new go-to! And it was gentle on my lips. Need ALL the colors now!!!" —WireJewel

Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in 14 shades). 

Promising review: "These are perfect candlestick holders for the small, tiny candles that you use in doing healing or other spells that require an accompanying candle; they are too small for the dinner table taper candles. This seller was awesome, as they arrived very fast and wrapped. They are just super shiny despite the handling they have been put through. I will definitely use this seller again." —Cindi Hein

Promising review: "I love this pumpkin. Good quality, very soft, and looks great for fall decor. Great buy." —Tom

Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in four colors).

Promising review: "The soft stretch headbands are the BEST for you gals with THICK curly hair!" —carolcoke
