1. Tree Hut Pumpkin Spice Latte Shea Sugar Scrub; $10
Tree Hut’s sugar scrubs are great if you’re looking to exfoliate coarse skin and treat yourself to a more luxurious shower (or bath) experience.

This blend is formulated with pumpkin enzymes and nutmeg oil, as well as sugar, shea butter, and a mix of other oils to give your skin a real treat this autumn.

2. Oreo Pumpkin Spice Sandwich Cookies, Limited Edition, 12.2 oz; $5
Oreo’s limited-edition pumpkin spice cookies will make a great snack for people with a sweet tooth during the brisk months ahead. They’re made with pumpkin spice-flavored cream in the middle, and they have those golden Oreo cookies (rather than the classic chocolate) sandwiching it all together. These do tend to only be around for a brief time, so if you want to try some, we wouldn’t recommend putting it off.

(Just be sure to store it in a cool and dry place away from direct sunlight.) You can also grab Starbucks K-cups ($22) and cold brew ($56 for a three-pack), or opt for an oat milk creamer from Califia Farms ($29 for a six-pack) if you want to double down on all that pumpkin spice yumminess.

4. Yankee Candle Apple Pumpkin Large Jar Candle; $31
Featuring sweet top notes of apple and butter along with mid notes of baked pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and other comforting spices, this paraffin wax candle smells so good you can (almost) taste it.

Each large jar candle can also burn for up to 150 hours, so you’ll get plenty of use out of this throughout the fall months.
