1. A barrel crossbody bag you’ll be ~plaid~ you got because it’ll add instant fall vibes to any outfit.
Walmart
Promising review: “Oh my! A nice bag to look at and use! I’m afraid this one will sell out. The plaid is a blend of soft ivory, blue-gray, and browns. Well-made and you will love the barrel, my favorite shape! Brown, silky interior with a zip pocket and an open one on the other side. Three pockets on the outside.” —Di
Price: $19.98 (available in two color combos)
2. A capacious woven basket (with convenient handles) as a cute form of storage for your ever-growing throw blanket collection. IMHO, there’s really no such thing as too many cozy blankets.
Walmart
Promising review: “I hesitate to say how wonderful this basket is for fear I’ll have a hard time purchasing in the future! I have used these beautiful baskets several times for gifts that I’ve filled with plush throws, books, candles, and snacks and it holds them all and it looks superb! I also use for toys in different rooms and it keeps them tucked away and you’d never think twice that it’s anything but a cute basket. I highly recommend these! They’re sturdy, ample in their size, and beautiful!” —Gigi
Price: $23.97
4. A three-wick candle in the scent “Firewood & Spice” to instantly transport you to a cozy campsite. Warning: it may even trigger a craving for s’mores.
Walmart
Here are the exact notes: roasted cardamom infused with peppercorns, vetiver, black spruce, and mesquite woods lifted by smoked cedar and vanilla bourbon.
Promising review: “This candle smells fantastic. Like apple cider with a touch of pumpkin spice. I love it. The jar is very nice, heavy amber opaque glass with a wooden top. I keep it on my dresser and my whole room smells fantastic, even when it’s not lit. Lovely scent, just right. I will definitely buy more.” —Chicknology
Price: $11.58 (available in nine scents)
5. A pair of stunning kitten-heel ankle boots because as far as I’m concerned, boot season officially begins in September. And dark cherry red is shaping up to be the color of the season!
6. LED curtain lights you’ll be over the ~moon~ about. They’ll add a soft, magical glow to any corner of your home so you can avoid turning on the harsh overhead lighting unless absolutely necessary.
Walmart
This consists of 12 vertical strands of LED lights. It comes with a built-in timer and uses three C-size batteries (not included).
Promising review: “These are so stinking cute! I know most folks order them for nursery/kids decor but I love them. I put them up in our bedroom as a cute/unique night-light.” —Shopsonlinegal
Price: $15.58
7. A short sleeve tee and joggers pajama set that won’t leave you feeling too hot or too cold — the Goldilocks of PJs, if you will.
Walmart
Promising review: “I never write reviews, but these pajamas are fantastic! I have ordered a few different pairs. The pants surprisingly give off end of summer/fall vibes. They are lightweight and breathable. I get too cold with a shirt and short combo, so this is just the right balance. I can see me wearing these into the fall. Great buy and amazing price!” —Marla
Price: $11.98 (available in sizes S–3X and eight designs)
8. A set of pumpkin mugs honestly giving ~autumn~ in the chicest way possible. Dark mornings won’t be so bad if you get to drink coffee out of these.
9. A box of caffeine-free cranberry herbal tea to sip on (any time of the day, including before bed) while you’re snuggled up with a spooky book.
10. An attractive slow cooker from Drew Barrymore’s collection with a convenient lid rest because ’tis the season for chilis, casseroles, stews, and roasts.
Walmart
This six-quart pot has enough space to cook for 5–6 people. There are five preset functions and you can program it for 30 minutes or up to 20 hours.
Promising review: “Absolutely in love with this slow cooker! First of all, it is SO beautiful! The functions are very easy to use and figure out. There are so many cooking options and timer options. The added bonus is the lid holder so you don’t have to sit the lid on the counter and have an additional mess to clean up. I’ve showed this to everyone who gives me five seconds of their time haha…I will be adding her other appliances as well as the pots and pans to my kitchen ASAP.” —Samantha
Price: $49.96 (originally $69; available in 10 colors)
11. An understated harvest-theme throw pillow, if you prefer more subtle fall decor and neutral hues.
12. Or, a faux-suede throw pillow in a burnt orange color to match the foliage outside.
Walmart
Promising review: “Love the texture and quality of these pillows! They are inexpensive but you wouldn’t know it! They are filled with cushions to provide a comfortable rest behind your back The soft texture looks good with other textures. You will absolutely love these! I have bought so many of them because you can’t beat the style and quality!” —karen
Price: $9.98+ (available in three colors)
13. A glamorous leopard print trench coat so you can make even a simple tee and jeans combo look fierce AF. A plain trench is great but this one’s a 13/10.
Walmart
Promising review: “This is very nice quality and lined on the inside, I did go up a size so I could close it all the way and wear over a sweater or sweatshirt. It looks expensive at a good price. I plan on wearing it a lot this fall and winter.” —Katherine
Price: $52 (available in sizes XS–5X and two colors)
14. A marble glass pumpkin that can be turned into a very cozy light source — there’s an opening at the bottom so you can insert string lights or a flameless candle.
Walmart
Promising review: “It’s beautiful and I love it. Perfect condition upon arrival. Casually elegant. Highly recommend!” —ncbeachgirl
Price: $14.98 (available in two shapes)

Walmart
Each set comes with two pillow shams and the quilt, except the twin-size, which only comes with one sham.
Promising review: “I love this quilt. It was exactly what I was looking for. Not to heavy, not to lightweight, perfect weight for all seasons. Beautiful colors as well.” —Stacy
Price: $53.93+ (available in sizes twin–California king)
17. A chic electric gooseneck kettle so you can easily make the switch from iced coffee to pour-overs as the temperatures drop. Plus, reviewers say it works faster than a stove top version.
18. A wearable fleece blanket hoodie that’ll make any activity instantly cozy, including WFH. But be careful — a nap attack could strike at any moment while wearing this.
Walmart
Promising review: “Wow I am blown away by this item! It says one size, I wear a size 2X and there was plenty of room with wearing this! It’s very nice and roomy plus it has pockets. I thought I would just be wearing this around the house but no I can definitely see this as something you would wear on the airplane! Imagine a plush fleece blanket, only you are wearing it like a long shirt! I think I would also use this as something to wear to bed when it’s chilly! I’m glad I bought two because when my friend saw it she got all excited and I gave her the other one! The color I got was indigo and it’s a very dark blue. I think I might buy a couple more for gifts!” —charb
Price: $19.78 (available in three colors)
19. A Pioneer Woman ceramic pie pan because fall means pies, tarts, and cobblers. As one reviewer says, you don’t have to bake one from scratch — just plop a store-bought treat in this gorgeous dish and serve. Your guests will be just as impressed.
Walmart
This nine-inch pie pan is dishwasher, microwave, and oven-safe.
Promising review: “This pie pan is so pretty to leave out even with nothing in it, nice to use with a pre-made pie or baked one, and could also be used for rolls or many other things. It came shipped and well packaged in a box with styrofoam around it. I like that it’s oven, microwave, and dishwasher safe. I also really like the quality and look of Pioneer Woman products and colors; they are easily mixed and matched with other Pioneer Woman items. They are so nice. I would buy it again.” —Lisa
Price: $14.88
20. An ~unbe-leaf-ably~ cheerful doormat you’ll get a ton of compliments on from neighbors and delivery people.
21. An embroidered tall Western boot to transform any late summer outfit into an early fall one. You’ll really get a ~kick~ out of them. (P.S. these also come in a sparkly crystal-embellished version, if that’s more your style!)
22. A Covergirl eyeshadow palette in rich, warm-tone shades (like rust, caramel, and brow) that are distinctively fall but also very wearable for every day.
23. A celestial oven mitt and pot holder set for anyone who appreciates the ~whimsigoth~ aesthetic and watches Practical Magic every October.
Walmart
Promising review: “This oven set far exceeds what I thought. They are thick and my hand doesn’t get burned. I love the elegant design. It matches with so many different styles. I have been more impressed with these than other brands. I just toss them in the wash and dry them and the color holds up well. Very good quality and durable.” —Tar25
Price: $9.88 for two-piece set
24. A generously sized Squishmallow plush cat named Cleo — who’s very good at brewing potions and whose favorite holiday is, of course, Halloween.
25. A Contigo vacuum-insulated mug with a lid to keep your drink hot for hours, whether you’re typing away at your desk or taking a brisk walk around the neighborhood.
Walmart
Drinks stay hot for five hours or cold for 15 hours in this 14-oz. mug.
Promising review: “I bought this to keep my coffee hot while I’m working. This mug keeps it hot for hours! I also have a Contigo water bottle that I use for cold water and it keeps it cold for a day which is why I looked at this Contigo mug when I needed one for my coffee. Love it!!” —LuvtoShop
Price: $13.98+ (available in four colors)
26. An elegant gold trinket tray that genuinely resembles a gingko leaf that’s turned yellow in fall.
Walmart
Promising review: “I cannot believe the price on this one! This tray is beautiful! I love the shape of the ginkgo leaf, a symbol of peace, hope, and vitality! Purchased this one for my living room end table but will be buying more. Thinking of giving them as gifts with a lovely message connected to their meaning.” —Carrie
Price: $6.46
27. A faux-rattan vase made for holding dried flower bouquets or decorative branches — and you can easily switch out the arrangements for a different look each time.
28. A pancake mix with nuggets of maple sugar (that add extra deliciousness as they melt on the griddle) because while pancakes are delicious any time of the year, maple sugar feels like a fall flavor.
29. A pair of faux-fur–lined platform slippers so you can keep your toes toasty warm while looking stylish. Reviewers say they’re a great budget-friendly alternative to Uggs.
30. Framed vintage-inspired flower prints to help complete the autumnal Pinterest gallery wall of your dreams.
