It’s finally time to pick pumpkins, y’all.

1. A battery-operated tapered candle set that moonlights as decor robbed from the Great Hall (a Harry Potter reference for the muggles out there). These flameless candles can be propped in a candelabra, too, if you’re a fan of more traditional interiors. There’s even a wand that you have to ~swish and flick~ to turn the candles on and off.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: “These candles are so convincing they pass for the real thing even only a couple of feet away. Put them on your dining room table, and they will look elegant and natural. The brightness is adjustable, they can be set to flicker or hold steady, they can be set to come on and turn off automatically, and they operate by remote control, so you can put them in hard to reach places.” —Robert E.

Get them from Amazon for $46.99.

2. A 60-pack of 3D bats to make your drab hallway look like the meeting point for a vampire convention — in a spooky-but-cute way, of course. Psst: These come with adhesive backs for easy hangin’.

amazon.com

Promising review: “These are so wonderful! We used half in the house and half on the porch. I used push pins on the porch but the sticky tabs worked really well inside! Hopefully they come off well. I will definitely be able to reuse each year. They are very sturdy.” —Haley Marth 

Get a pack of 60 from Amazon for $8.99

3. A Dash mini waffle maker that *may* inspire you to replace that morning cereal bar with an actual sit-down breakfast. Anything edible in the shape of a pumpkin = a very happy me.

Amazon, amazon.com

This waffle maker heats up super quickly, is designed with non-stick pans, and is fairly no-frills: just plug it in, pour some batter, and wait for the light to turn green. Your waffles are now ready!

Plus, this comes with a neat little recipe book packed with recipes for hash browns, paninis, biscuit pizzas — basically a bunch of recipes that can be done using just this little waffle maker.

Promising review: “This thing is incredible. I just mix up a batch of waffle batter and keep it in the fridge and in the morning, I plug this in while pouring my coffee. It reaches temp in about a minute, and then I’ll pour in the batter and about the waffle is done about another minute later.” —Rick

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 17 styles).

4. Leaf scoops because the fallen leaves look wonderful in theory… until they don’t. This cuts backyard maintenance time in half thanks to the sheer amount of debris it can pick up with one ~scoop~.

Amazon

Promising review: “I picked these up to help get my lawn under control. I have several large oaks and a few pine trees in my yard. I saw so many positive reviews that I figured that these leaf scoops were worth a try, and I’m glad I did. The speed at which I can bag yard waste is significantly increased, and I feel much more efficient. I have big hands, and these still work fine for me. I can’t argue with the ease of use and overall efficiency that they provide when it comes to picking up leaves. They’ve held up great and I strongly recommend them.” —Josh F

Get them from Amazon for $29.95

5. A three-pack of color drip candles to set a cozy fall mood *and* turn the act of a birthday wish come true into a work of Picasso proportions. Reviewers swear that all you’ll need is an empty wineglass (or old candelabra) to begin your foray into art.

amazon.com

Promising review: “Love these candles! Don’t be deterred by the candles out the box, though they are mostly white on the outside there are lots of primary color pockets on the inside. They do take a while to burn (three to four hours by my count) but the results are by far worth being patient for. As the flame works through the candle, the primary color pockets blend with the white as well as with each other to create a wide range of colors… I’ve seen yellows, oranges, reds, pinks, greens, and blues on my finished bottles.” —5ammosh

Get six candles from Amazon for $9.99.

6. Baggy overalls (with pockets!) for anyone who detests having to scrounge up a matching top and bottom plus wants to look peak Instagram-worthy in their loungewear — all you’ll have to do is slip this on over a bralette *or* a sleeved tee.

amazon.com

Promising review: “I am literally obsessed with these! I have been wanting to order overalls for a couple of years now. I thought this was a cute way to wear them without trying to look too young. Spot on. I actually bought it as my lounging outfit. With all this time being spent at home with the recent crisis, I wanted something comfortable but cute so I’m not in sweats all day. Thinking about getting a couple of other colors. I would totally wear these out and about.” —WamQQk

Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in women’s sizes S–3XL and in 15 colors).

7. A cauldron candle featuring a hard worker looking to rest his weary bones in an Epsom bath after a long, hard day at work. Grotesque puns aside — this is made with soy wax and has up to a 50-hour burn time.

Amazon

Promising review: “This candle is AHHHMAZING!! One of the best Halloween decor purchases I have ever made. I love how it looks like he’s taking a bath! It is the perfect combination of spooky, cute, and relaxing. I think I’ll display this candle year round.” —Michael Burnham

Get it from Amazon for $21.99.

8. An electric S’mores maker to bring the great outdoors into the comfort of your own cozy home. This unit comes equipped with two stainless-steel roasting forks and will produce a perfectly toasted marshmallow every single time.

amazon.com

Promising review: “Amazing s’mores! My fiancé loves s’mores so I thought this would be a great birthday gift. We plugged it in and it works perfectly. Heats up fast and makes a perfect marshmallow.” —Dakota N.

Get it from Amazon for $27.99.

9. A graphic tee that pays homage to mother, Buffy Summers. Wearing this = a ~surefire way to slay your day~ and I refuse to apologize for the pun.

KamrieMammolaArt / Etsy

Promising review: “Absolutely perfect. Love the vintage vibe of it. Nice thick, soft fabric. Great seller!” —RedLeaves

Get it from KamrieMammolaArt on Etsy for $28 (available in sizes S–3X). 

10. A turtleneck sweater you’ll want to look at the Amazon listing for, even if you don’t have a four-legged best friend — the review images are so precious my heart is in legitimate pain. I think I might cry. Consider this their pumpkin-picking attire.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: “By far the best dog sweaters I have ever bought. Super soft and well constructed. I wish they made human sweaters to be honest lol.” —ALH

Get it from Amazon for $22.49+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in eight colors).

11. Pumpkin tea bags to get you in the ~holiday spirit~. These little ghouls come in a variety of flavors, too: black tea and peach, peppermint, decaf green tea, and more. 

Cuts of Tea / Etsy

Cuts of Tea is a small business based in Warren, New Jersey that sells fun-shaped tea bags. Each purchase comes with stickers and a mini honeycomb, too. 

Promising review: “Pumpkin-shaped tea bags with organic pumpkin-spice tea, beautifully boxed and ribboned! Great gift package! Bonus gift to stir in honey with! Love the artwork and stickers!” —Deborah

Get a pack of six from Cuts of Tea on Etsy for $23.98 (available in 10 flavors).

12. A “flaming” humidifier for equal parts aromatherapy and cottage-core. Pop some Tollhouse cookies in the oven, press play on “You Got Mail,” and I dare you not to have the most cozy evening of your life. 

Promising review: “I like how this diffuser kind of looks like a mini fireplace and it’s perfect for winter. I also like how long the water of this diffuser lasts — I always add my favorite essential oil in it when I go to sleep every night without worrying it will run out of water. I used to have insomnia and it helped me to sleep through the night with my relaxing essential oil scent, and it also worked as a humidifier.” —Benny

Get it from Amazon for $19.97+ (available in three sizes and three colors). 

13. Chelsea boots that, despite having a generous heel, are comfortable enough to walk around in all darn day. These are perfect for weekends fueled by pumpkin lattes, apple cider donuts, and the promise of yet another fall hay ride.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: “I really like these shoes a lot — they’re incredibly comfortable for being heeled boots and I can stand in them all day at work. While I’ve only gone through one winter with these so far (in Chicago), they still look great! I also sprayed them with water protectant and it didn’t affect the suede material at all, so I would 10/10 recommend these.” —Sarasri

Get them from Amazon for $42.99 (available in women’s sizes 5–11 and in nine colors).

14. A Torani pumpkin pie sauce because PSL season is fantastic but expensive (and requires leaving the house). Top off your morning cup of caffeine with this delicious treat… and not just for one season, but all year long. I said what I said.

@torani / Via instagram.com, amazon.com

Promising review: “Nailed it! This is the perfect syrup (yeah, I know it’s technically called a sauce) for making pumpkin spice lattes. Look no further. This is what you need. After trying another brand’s syrup and being terribly disappointed, I decided to try this based on reviews…and BAM! This is the one! Tastes similar to what coffeehouses use to make their pumpkin spice lattes, which is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Love it!” —TravlGrl

Get it from Amazon for $9.95.

15. A tiny milk frother that makes it easy to whip up your very own PSL at home — and quickly. This stainless-steel whisk truly has so many darn uses: Let your mouth water at the thought of cappuccinos, lattes, hot chocolate, matcha, milkshakes, and more.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: “All of my friends and family had this so naturally I had to get one and I am obsessed. Makes every homemade coffee taste like you went out and bought one. Very affordable and worth every penny. I love that is comes with a cute holder for it.” —Kayla Dillinger

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three styles and 31 colors).

16. A 101-piece Wilton baking set packed with alphabet, number, and holiday cutters that includes a wide range of ~spooky~ shapes. Have you ever bit into a chocolate chip creation in the shape of a bat, pumpkin, witch, or cat? Because it basically tastes better.

amazon.com

Bonus: these cutters are dishwasher safe!

Promising review: “I’m so glad I went for this set instead of spending tons of money on steel cutters. I made Halloween cookies with my 7-year-old nephew using the halloween ones, and we both had lots of fun! Cuts nicely and cleanly, dough does not stick to the plastic, and I hand-washed them and let them dry on the rack just like any other utensil/dish. Can’t wait to try the Christmas ones next month!” —Jenn K

Get a set of 101 from Amazon for $25.24.

17. A durable, Shark Tank–featured Rumpl outdoor blanket for outdoor picnics accessorized by crunchy leaves and apple cider mimosas. This is super lightweight and packable (cc: the below photo for proof), plus you can chuck it in the machine when it’s covered in dirt and grime.

BuzzFeed / Rachel Dunkel

Rumpl is an Oregon-based small business specializing in outdoor blankets that donates a portion of its revenue to environmental nonprofits.

Promising review: “Rumpl is fantastic. I bought this blanket for a long hike next year, but obviously was going to test it. It’s very warm for those chilly nights, and I love that it can be worn like a cape for the early cool mornings. It packs away nicely and I absolutely love the bright color. I really have zero complaints about it. Lightweight and comfortable, definitely worth it if you’re looking for a good camping or backpacking blanket!” —Becks

Get it from Amazon for $89.99+ (available in two styles and 30 colors).

18. A lush double-sided shaggy faux-fur duvet set I am adding to my cart in the name of back-to-school shopping. Am I going back to school? No. But we are entering fall, ergo I plan on treating myself to cozy accessories to enhance allll my impending Halloween movie marathons.

Amazon

One side is faux fur and the other side is plush velvet; the twin set comes with one pom-pom-fringed pillow sham, and other set sizes include two.

Promising review: “If my house caught on fire, this is the first thing I’d grab. But seriously, this is one of my favorite things in my whole house. I feel like it tied my entire room together. I get so many compliments on it and it seriously so cozy and well made. My only complaint would be how hard thing thing makes it to get out of bed in the mornings. It’s incredibly soft and isn’t the type of ‘fur’ that will mat and get gross looking over time. I rely heavily on reviews when I buy things so I’m here to tell you — if you’re on the fence about buying this … do it!! Also, the pillowcases are amazing also. Super soft and the pom-pom fringe is adorable.” —SK

Get it from Amazon for $51.99+ (available in sizes twin–king and 35 colors).

19. An autumnal garland for your staircase banister to get your home into the holiday spirit in five seconds flat. *inhales pumpkin spice* *exhales the summer humidity we’ve finally managed to escape*

amazon.com

Promising review: “Love this garland for fall decorating. I added some orange lights and put it above the mantle. It is easy to bend around candlesticks and picture frames.” —Deanna Scozzari-Kilbourn

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 18 colors and styles).

20. A Carhartt beanie in which over 160,000 folks felt compelled to leave a *glowing* review due to how comfy, durable, and versatile this noggin accessory is. It basically goes hand in hand with your denim jacket and combat boots.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: “This is the warmest, best hat ever. I’ve never really worn hats, living in California, but have had to go to Minnesota and other cold places recently for work, and it keeps my head SO WARM. It’s soft (I hate even the tiniest bit of scratchy feeling) and the purple sage color is muted and elegant and lovely. I don’t think I will ever buy another kind of hat again!” —Lia

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 39 colors).

21. A set of two buffalo plaid throw pillow covers for an autumnal upgrade to your Ikea sofa, the one you’ve been meaning to replace for years but… still haven’t. These provide an instant refresh.

amazon.com

Promising review: “Love these pillows. Going into the fall and holiday season these pillow are amazing. I bought the red checkered pillows and they are a canvas-type material. Not super soft but they keep their shape very well. I just throw these covers right over my everyday pillows and they fit great.” —Natasha

Get them from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in seven sizes and 13 colors).

22. A turtleneck sweater dress for a chic way to feel as if you’re *wearing* that ultra soft throw blanket you purchased in three colors from TJ Maxx. The rib-knit material is truly a joy.

amazon.com

Promising review: “This is WAY BETTER than I thought it would be when I purchased it. First of all, the size is perfect! It’s absolutely an oversized sweater, and the material is great, and I personally love the pockets! I wore with some simple leggings and was just in heaven at how comfortable I was. Anyway, y’all, BUY THIS SWEATER!” —Kristen Saunders

Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in women’s sizes S–3XL and in 39 colors).

23. A Java Sok, a cup insulator because the seasons don’t change your caffeine preferences — all iced, all the time. This little gadget means your hands won’t have to brave freezing temps with every sip of that PSL.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: “I cannot say enough positive things about the Java Sok. As a regular iced coffee drinker (Starbucks on the daily), this thing is truly awesome! I use it in the car, office, home…everywhere! I will be purchasing the other sizes and will get a few as gifts for my office peeps. Added bonus…seems to keep my drink colder longer. Buy the Java Sok…you will not be disappointed!” —Lyndsey L

Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in five sizes and dozens of prints).

24. A set of four kitchen towels because the amount of one-use paper towels you go through in a day is… staggering. Cut back on waste *and* add some fall spice to your food prep station with these.

amazon.com

Promising review: “These towels definitely look better together. Thanksgiving Day at my house is going to be awesome this year with these towels and all of the other Thanksgiving table decor that I’ve purchased from Amazon. Thank you for making this easy!! A++” —Sandstrous

Get a set of four from Amazon for $15.99.

25. A plaid flannel shirt that’s just inspired me to scour Airbnb for a staycation in the middle of nowhere. I can picture it already: surrounded by nature, drinking coffee in a semi-modern cabin with floor-to-ceiling windows… all while wearing this top.

amazon.com

I feel like that person from the York Peppermint Pattie commercial.

Promising review: “Such a cute flannel! Thick, great quality, well made, and definitely exceeded my expectations.” —A. D. Fox

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 10 colors).

26. Bath bombs for folks who love the holidays (if by the holidays you mean Halloween). Each one uses a combo of baking soda and Epsom salts, plus each “character” has a different scent: For example, the clown bath bomb uses a trio of berries, banana, and creamy vanilla fragrance oils.

DeleuxsBathProducts / Etsy

Promising review: “Love how much detail is put into each bath bomb. They all smelled lovely upon arrival!” —Laura Rossit

Get them from DeleuxsBathProducts on Etsy for $4.25+ (available in 12 characters).

27. A four-sided brush cleaner for when it’s time to finally break out the suede booties. This easily cleans away scuff marks and salt stains with little to no effort required, making it the perfect thing to have on hand for after you’ve gone apple picking. On a farm. Where there is quite a lot of dirt. The kind that will leave marks on your shoes.

amazon.com

This brush has a welt surface, nylon bristles, an arched half-circle brush, and a protruding brush that lets you clean different kinds of suede.

Promising review: “BUY THIS THING! I got mud on my new suede boots and thought they were ruined, but this brush completely restored them. I was shocked. I even used it on an old pair of boots from college that I have considered ruined for several years now, and it did wonders on getting rid of the filth on top of the suede. This is absolutely worth getting!” —Gaby Scott

Get it from Amazon for $6.99.

28. A jar of Stonewall Kitchen caramel apple butter to add a fall touch to, well, literally any dessert or pastry you intend on eating this season: ice cream, waffles, croissants, toasts, pie, and the delicious list goes on.

Amazon

Promising review: “ Fantastic on English muffins. I recommend you buy 2 jars at a time as you’ll go through the first one rather quickly. Definite mainstay for the kitchen pantry.” —Apryl D

Get it from Amazon for $8.95

29. An oversized knitted sweater vest for making the word “crisp” come to mind. Turtleneck weather is back, pets, and what better way to accessorize it than with the below? I’ll be taking five. Thanks.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: “Love this! Well worth the price! I ordered a medium so that it wouldn’t be too oversized and look awkward. And it fits perfect!! I paired it with a white turtleneck underneath, but the options are limitless here. Was surprised at the quality of this item…it’s very soft and thick. Which wasn’t what I expected at all. My only real complaint is the price of the item. However, this item is very trendy, so I understand. Would definitely, and might, buy again very soon!” —Jon Evans

Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in women’s sizes S–L and five colors).

30. Monstrous: The Lore, Gore, and Science behind Your Favorite Monsters, a gorgeously-illustrated hardcover for children and adults alike. This chronicles iconically spooky figures (think Bigfoot, Dr. Frankenstein, vampires et al) with entertaining facts they’ll want to tell everyone about. Have a friend who prefers “Monster Mash” to “Silent Night”? This is for them.

Carolrhoda Books

I very randomly picked up this book in Boston last year and it has become one of my most prized possessions. At the risk of sounding like a total child (which honestly…I am), it really is a fun, informative book that’s packed with beautiful imagery and easy-to-read charts. I read it out loud to my fiancé when we were driving back home and even he loved it. And for reference, he has no interest in spooky things.

Promising review: “I can’t say enough about how amazing this book is— the illustrations are captivating, the science and history are well researched, and the topic in and of itself is awe-inspiring. This book is superb. Thanks for creating such a masterpiece, Carlyn!” —B.T.

Get it from Amazon for $19.24, Barnes & Noble for $24.99, Bookshop for $23.24 (to support local booksellers), or check your local library.

31. A copy of The Antiquarian Sticker Book rightfully described by one reviewer as “mysterious and spooky.” This features 1,000+ Victorian-inspired stickers that will make you feel as if you’re flipping through a creepy carnival book — but like, in the best way possible.

Amazon, amazon.com

Use this to create collages, decorate notebooks, and DIY water bottles, or simply flip through the pages and ogle at the lovely (and often weird) stickers inside.

Promising review: “I love this book! The stickers are matte finish and wonderful. All different. Definitely recommend if you like fun stickers! Full page stickers to little ones. Skulls to floral! Mushrooms and more. 😁” —Mary Rosson

Get it from Amazon for $15.46.
