Promising review: "The pumpkin flavor was wonderful in a pumpkin pie-flavored latte. Great fall drink. Can be used hot or cold, also drizzled on top." —Alison

Get it from Amazon for $13.99.

My mom purchased a Nespresso a few months ago and it came with this handy frother and it's so ridiculously simply to use and a true game changer. The way that this singlehandedly makes me want to brew my own coffee when I'm staying at my parents' house instead of going out and spending money on Starbucks?! That is a true miracle for me personally.

Promising review: "Bravo Nespresso! I can't rave enough about this item. The simplest and best milk frother I have ever seen. Our lattes and cappuccinos are simply fantastic now with the heated, frothed milk from this machine. I have an expensive Jura coffee maker and it does hot frothed milk well but not as easy to use or as well frothed as this thing. I can make only the amount of milk I need with this, where I would have a big bulky stainless-steel canister on the counter all day for the Jura with milk I would never get to use so would throw away. Well worth the price if you like perfectly frothed milk. Simple to use too! One of the best items I have ever purchased!" —Customer

Promising review: "I order one for myself every year. They also make great presents because they’re just so iconic. Everybody can wear them. Good value for a well-made product." —Sean Honsinger

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 35 colors).

This 13-pack includes six double-sided stainless-steel detail sculpting, cutting, and carving tools, two sharp heavy-duty stainless-steel pumpkin scoop tools with a scraper, two sturdy tooth saws, two hole and circle punches, and one engraving pen.

Promising review: "There is a tool for everything you could possibly want or need to do. The set is very well-made and should last a long time. Our pumpkin carving skills exceeded our wildest dreams." —LC

Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in a smaller 11-piece set).

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 34 colors).

Get it from our Goodful shop for $249 (available in sizes S/M–L).

They come in a set of four and yep, they're microwave and dishwasher safe, too!

Promising review: "These bowls are absolutely perfect! I’m glad I bought them. Not too big, not too small. They stack well with each other. Already gotten many compliments with family friends asking where I purchased them. Will buy another set soon. Highly recommend!" —Wayfair Customer

Get a set of four from Wayfair for $26.99.

Promising review: "Buy these for yourself and everyone you know. They are soft and fit a variety of sizes of bowls to put under them in the microwave and eat from. My kids love them. We bought some to gift to other people too, and I will get some for my son to use at college. Made of a heavy terry cloth that can be thrown right in the washer when needed. We used towels before under our bowls, but these cradle the bowls so are easier to hold. We bought some bigger plate sizes too." —Heidi J

Get a set of four from Amazon for $16.99 (available in seven color combos).

Promising review: "AMAZING deal! These are my go-to shoes for fall. They look great with every outfit, dressed up or dressed down. Buy them right now." —Emily Hughes

Humble Suds is a small biz based in Denver, Colorado that sells plant-based cleaning products.

Promising review: "I was ready to buy a new leather living room set since my current one was weathered and scratched by the cat. Decided to try this product after seeing it on Google and it revived my furniture like I never would've imagined!! Love that it is natural and safe for a curious cat!! Five stars!!" —Shannon M. Campbell

My colleague Amanda Davis swears by this spray. Here's what she has to say about it:

"So, I have about three pairs of shoes that have just been sitting in my closet because while they are sooo so cute, the leather was too tight for my foot to comfortably get inside 'em. Did I return them? Nope. (We all know the hassle of online returns, right?) Instead I bought this shoe stretch spray on a whim. I didn't expect much but WOW! The shoes that took me a minute of struggling to get into fit *perfectly* now!!

The process was as simple as could be, too. I just sprayed my shoes (inside and out, heel to toe) like there was no tomorrow, I put on some semi-thick socks (just to ensure I had ample room later), and wore the shoes around my house for about 30–40 minutes. As I was walking around, I could literally feel them begin to loosen up.

After about 30 minutes, I took my shoes and thick socks off, and the shoes just ~slide~ on. Easy Peasy. Now I have a new favorite pair of shoes and zero dollars have been wasted. I tried these with a pair of chunky leather loafers, but I can only imagine what they'll do for my pair of Dr. Martens — the boots known to take a while to break into. This stuff is a must!"

Sweet Water Decor is a woman-owned small biz that sells a lovely mix of home goods like candles, mugs, jewelry dishes, and more!

Promising review: "I was skeptical because I’m picky about candles, but this one lived up to all the positive reviews. It is the perfect candle for the holidays — the scent truly is warm and cozy." —Meghan

Get it from Sweet Water Decor on Amazon Handmade for $19.99.

BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord loves hers. In her own words:

"This also comes in other pretty colors, but I am especially partial to this one because I bought it for my parents (their kitchen is entirely pink and one of my favorite places on Earth), and this was SO EASY to use — not to mention super safe! I'm a big weenie about fire (lol, self-preservation) so I've always stuck to extended arm gas lighters, but this is much better for the environment (plus cuter), so I feel a lot better about using it."

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

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!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $28.99 (available in sizes S–L and nine colors).

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

If you're looking for an aromatherapy diffuser to go with your new essential oil set, check out this reviewer-loved option on Amazon. 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.

Promising review: "This case has all the main smells of autumn. There is maybe only one scent I don’t like and that’s mainly just because I don’t like the smell of that thing. Besides that, they all smell great! I would for sure recommend this to anyone who loves the smell of autumn. Many smells may bring back old memories." —Nicholas Jzyk

Get a pack of 14 from Amazon for $35.95.

These are dishwasher-safe!

Promising review: "Bought these to make Halloween cookies with my son. He’s been obsessed with fish lately, so I was pleasantly surprised to find a fish cookie cutter in the mix. They work well enough with store-bought cookie mix and even sturdy enough to use as a trace for pumpkin carving. Good variety of shapes for every occasion." —Senia

Get them from Amazon for $24.

Promising review: "This rubber shoe mat is a great, compact, lightweight option to keep the house tidy. We bought this for our little Airbnb unit that we own and it’s been a great addition to the entryway. Easy to clean!" —AKara

Get it from Amazon for $15.35.

Promising review: "I am so happy with these lights! They're perfect and bring some autumn cheer to my home. I like that they're battery-operated and there aren't any cords hanging around for my 10-month-old to get a hold of. It's a two-pack with two separate strings of lights, and both have the option of either flashing or steady lights." —Stephanie

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $11.97.

Promising review: "OBSESSED!!! It's super comfy and warm! Love love love it! It feels expensive and is super cute. You don't have to spend so much money on trendy items — it's so not worth it when you can find cute dupes." —Anon

Get it from Amazon for $37.59+ (available in sizes S–3XL and in 32 styles).

Promising review: "Fantastic on English muffins. I recommend you buy two 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 $16.99.

Three Thirteen is a Latine woman-owned small business based in Brownsville, Texas that sells super cozy pop culture embroidered merch.

I own a couple of sweatshirts now from Three Thirteen and cannot recommend this shop enough. My favorite thing about the shop is that you can order any of the embroidered patterns on either a T-shirt, sweatshirt, or hoodie, and in a color of your choice. And if you're not a Swiftie, that's cool, too. Three Thirteen also offers Harry Styles, Lorde, and Olivia Rodrigo designs as well as a super cool zodiac collection.

Get it from Three Thirteen for $50+ (available in 10 colors and unisex sizes S–3XL; also available as a hoodie or a tee and 13 Red (Taylor's Version) designs).
