Home Chef x Half Baked Harvest
COURTESY OF HOME CHEF
"My fiancé and I love to cook together, and we’ve recently been working our way through Half Baked Harvest’s latest cookbook. We both have busy schedules, so we recently started treating ourselves to a meal kit service once a month—so when I saw Home Chef was partnering with Half Baked Harvest, we had to try it. As usual, the recipes were incredible (last week we made a creamy lemon pesto orzo soup that was to die for) and the easy portioning and packaging from Home Chef made it so easy to throw everything together on busy weeknights.

Checkered Throw Blanket
COURTESY OF AMAZON
"I am not ashamed to say I have been living in this blanket. My nights aren't complete until I am curled up in my green-checkered throw watching a cozy show. This blanket is the perfect combination of warm without being heavy, and soft without shredding fuzz all over my clothes or furniture. Plus, the checkered pattern adds a fun pop to my living room!"

Black Metal Lanterns

"These black lanterns are so versatile, especially around the holidays. Fill them with mini pumpkins for an easy fall porch decoration, or incorporate them into a Halloween mantel along with cobwebs and flameless candles."

BAGGU Medium Nylon Crescent Bag
COURTESY OF BAGGU
"I'm a big fan of the bag brand, BAGGU, but this has to be my favorite of theirs. It looks small from the outside, but is large enough to fit all my daily essentials, plus space for bulkier items I may pick up throughout the day (I've fit a whole wine bottle in it before!). I love that it secretly conceals how much stuff I'm really lugging around with me."

Cozy Globe Table Lamp
COURTESY OF LIGHTS.COM
"As it starts to get dark earlier in the fall months, I find myself gravitating toward cozy lamp light rather than flipping on the overheads at night. I'm a big fan of warm light, especially in areas meant for relaxing, and this gorgeous globe table lamp is one of my favorites. I love that the frosted glass globes create a soft, cozy glow while still providing plenty of lighting."

Fall Foliage Map
COURTESY OF SMOKY MOUNTAINS
"October is when trees and other plants show off their fall finery. This map is great for pinpointing when you can expect the best show in your area. It's super handy if you're trying to plan an autumn getaway to do some leaf peeping. Just click on a date to watch the colors change on the map, and use the key to figure out when and where you have the best chance of seeing fall color at its peak."

Apple Cider Hand-Poured Candle
COURTESY OF HONEY and ASH
"As a self-proclaimed candle person, these have been my favorite candles to date. The candles, when burned properly, use up all of the wax so you don't end with a little puck at the bottom, but rather a neat little jar. This company is women owned and they use materials that minimize headaches for those who are sensitive to smells."

Trader Joe's Pumpkin Brioche Bread
COURTESY OF TRADER JOE'S
"I love a seasonal TJ's find, and this pumpkin brioche bread is one of their best. The thick slices are loaded with cinnamon and seasonal spices that are perfectly balanced with the creamy pumpkin flavor. I recommend making this into French toast for the ultimate fall treat. If you're really feeling the autumn spirit, drizzle a bit of their pumpkin butter on top instead of syrup!"

Rechargeable Lighter
COURTESY OF WALMART
"Fall is my favorite time of year to have a constant candle lit—but this year I realized that my small lighters and matches don't always fit inside the candle without potentially burning my hand. When I was searching for a long lighter that could easily do the job, I stumbled upon an electric, rechargeable one. Hopefully it will be the last lighter I have to buy!"
