Fall is finally here, and that means colder nights and cozying up at home. While we will be putting away our summer shorts and sun hats, we'll be trading them in for knit sweaters and all things pumpkin spice.
The changing of the seasons means many things, and aside from the obvious fashion swaps, it also calls for some revamping to your daily routine. Whether that means it's time to make the switch from cold brew to hot coffee or revamp your beauty regimen to get your skin ready for the colder months, the Shop TODAY team found fall's hottest products you'll need to get through the next few months.
From easy-to-use hair tools and hydrating skin care products to pumpkin scented candles and face mask chains, these are the top shopping trends we're loving this season.
Read on for the full list of items you'll want to get your hands on before it's too late.
Home
As the days get colder, we found all of the essentials you'll need to help make your home feel cozy and warm.
Homesick Pumpkin Picking Candle
If you aren't heading to the pumpkin patch this year, you can bring all of the comfort of fall's favorite activity to your own home. Pumpkin scented candles are always a popular pick during this time of year and we found this fall-specific candle from Homesick that boasts notes of pumpkin, cinnamon and vanilla.
Pet House Pumpkin Spice Candle
This Amazon bestseller is perfect for homes with furry friends thanks to an odor-neutralizing that is specially formulated for pet homes. Each candle is hand-poured with a 100% soy wax that is pet-friendly and burns cleaner than most candles.
Instant Pod Coffee & Espresso Maker
Another must-have for cozying up at home is a hot drink. The makers of the beloved Instant Pot recently released a coffee and espresso machine that is compatible with K-cups and Nespresso pods. It's quickly becoming one of the hottest appliances on the market and will be perfect for gift-giving this year too!
Optix 55 Anti-Fog Spray
For those who wear glasses, wearing a mask has likely caused your lenses to fog on more than one occasion. To help combat this annoyance, we found a simple, affordable solution: a bestselling anti-fog spray. It's Shop TODAY editor-approved and we found it to be one of those things you didn't know you needed until you tried it.

Looking to make self-care a habit this fall? We found some affordable, top-rated items to help make it happen.

It's become an overnight sensation thanks to its lightweight texture and feel but intense hydrating properties that is perfect for nourishing your skin ahead of the colder months.

Drew Barrymore has already released a makeup collection, but this year she is expanding her beauty line with the recent release of her line of affordable hair tools.

It's a comfortable option for working from home, lounging around or even running errands. It pairs nicely with your go-to slippers or a pair of fall flats.
Face Masks and Accessories
Evolvetogether Disposable Face Masks
As face masks have become another daily essential that we grab before heading out the door each day, we've noticed that plenty of celebrities like J.Lo and Ariana Grande can't stop wearing this one disposable style from the brand Evolvetogether.
At just under $2 each, they're one of the few medical-grade face masks that are available to the public and registered with the FDA. Dr. Ruth L. Bush, associate dean of medical education and professor at the University of Houston College of Medicine, told Shop TODAY that medical grade means it must have at least a 95% droplet filtration system, breathability and consist of three to four layers of manufactured, non-woven materials.

If you're looking for reusable options, Gap makes face masks in packs of three that are both affordable and machine washable. They feature adjustable ear loops, a nosewire and a filter pocket in a dozens of designs and colors that are perfect for the whole family.
