Brace yourselves: pumpkin spice season is upon us. It’s the time of year when basic becomes iconic, and everything starts smelling like a Pinterest board come to life. The leaves are turning, our wardrobes are leaning more Meg Ryan Fall than Nancy Meyers Summer, and suddenly, everything from our candles to our skincare has that unmistakable spiced glow-up.
This isn’t just a flavor—it’s a lifestyle. So cue When Harry Met Sally, dig out those cable-knit sweaters, and prepare to bathe your entire existence in cinnamon, nutmeg, and a healthy dose of fall nostalgia. Because if your home, face, and soul aren’t pumpkin spice-infused by November, are you even doing autumn right?
Califia Farms
Nothing will ever come between me and my morning oat milk latte, so this Pumpkin Spice Oat Barista from Califia Farms will be going triple platinum in my kitchen this fall. It’s plant-based (lactose-intolerant gals rise), flavorful but not overwhelming, and—when paired with my go-to cold brew—makes having the perfect little seasonal beverage every morning quick and easy.
P.F. Candle Co.
Picking a favorite of my pumpkin-scented candle collection feels like a crime but if you ask the office gals, they’d vote for this one (catch us lighting it all year long). With notes of butter, nutmeg, brown sugar, and cinnamon, it smells just like pumpkin bread baking in the oven.
Summer Fridays
PSA: Pumpkin isn’t just delicious—it’s great for your skin, too. This exfoliating mask from one of our favorite clean skincare brands smells like your favorite fall candles, and the post-mask glow is next-level. Packed with enzymes, vitamin A, and vitamin C, pumpkin helps smooth and brighten skin. Now if only our PSL did that!
Trader Joe’s
If you want more than just a pumpkin drink alone at breakfast, pumpkin overnight oats are exactly what you need. The best part? They’re ideal for running out of the door or if you need a bite on the go. In Trader Joe’s we trust.
NEST New York
This autumn-favorite candle has a cult following and for good reason. The iconic scent smells as good as a PSL tastes (if not better—and you can @ me on it). If you want a candle that’s a little more spicy than sweet, this one’s for you.
World Market
I love fall decor as much as the next gal does, but I don’t necessarily love overwhelming my minimalist space with loud splashes of orange and red (sorry!). These white felt pumpkins are a bit more subtle but still add that cozy, seasonal vibe to my space.
Trader Joe’s
Sweet treat of the season just dropped. Whether they’re for a quick snack or serving for dessert at a fall dinner party, you’ll always want a box of these on deck in your cupboard.
Califia Farms
If you’re not an oat milk fan but still want an easy plant-based option to suit your pumpkin cravings, the Califia Farms Pumpkin Spice Almond Latte has got you covered. Just pour over ice and your dream drink is ready in seconds.
SmashMallow
This healthier version of snackable marshmallows offers a delicious pumpkin pie flavor that PSL-lovers cannot miss. They’re good enough to be the finishing touch on a pumpkin pie or, you know, to eat the entire bag in one sitting while watching a horror movie.
Peter Thomas Roth
Peter Thomas Roth is known for amazing products (loved by dermatologists and celebrities alike), and this exfoliating mask is packed with alpha hydroxy acid and pumpkin enzymes. If you’re a pumpkin lover with a dull complexion or just want to bring the flavor of the season into your at-home spa day, this mask is a game-changer.
Anthropologie
We’re obsessed with Anthropologie’s glassware year round, so it’s no shocker that these were getting all of the action in our Slack channels this week. It’s not a want, but more so a need.
Purely Elizabeth
Granola is a breakfast favorite and go-to snack, so why not have a pumpkin spice version of this pantry staple? This variety is gluten-free, non-GMO, and made with organic quinoa, amaranth, and chia, so you don’t have to ruin your health goals by indulging in that pumpkin spice craving.
Trader Joe’s
All the cooking, cleaning, and cold temperatures of the fall season can leave our hands in need of serious hydration. Thankfully, Trader Joe’s Vanilla Pumpkin Hand Soap is here for gentle cleansing and a heavenly seasonal scent.
INNBEAUTY Project
This vegan lip-oil-gloss hybrid that gives soft, plump-looking lips with gorgeous, deep orange undertones for a natural, warm makeup look that screams fall.
Califia Farms
Want a splash of pumpkin spice flavor to upgrade your morning cup of joe? The Organic Pumpkin Spice Almond Creamer from Califia Farms can add a subtle touch of flavor, plus its USDA-Certified Organic and made with no gums or oils. If you’re a gal who likes a side of coffee with her creamer, go crazy. It’s delicious and that ratio is none of our business.
Etsy | Sweet Water Decor
If you love fall but are sensitive to those super in-your-face pumpkin smells, this is the candle for you. The main notes are woodsy like cedarwood and cypress, so there’s just a hint of sweetness in an otherwise smoky and woodsy scent. Just a warning: This candle will make your house smell so good, you won’t want to leave it.
Blume
For health nuts who want to get in on the flavor while working on your wellness, this superfood blend uses pumpkin spice for a multitude of health benefits. Simply stir into hot water or a cup of coffee for a velvety PSL of your wellness dreams.
Greenies
For those who are as obsessed with their dog as they are with fall, here’s something for your furry friend, who deserves pumpkin spice, too! Not only are these delicious snacks perfect for your pet, but they also clean teeth and support gum health.
World Market
If pumpkin spice flavored things are the ultimate ruler of fall, cinnamon rolls are a very close second. So combining the two? Nothing short of heavenly. Throw them on a sheet pan, lather on some icing, and you have final boss of fall sweet treats.
Trader Joe’s
This expertly brewed ale blends malts and hops for a smooth, balanced taste, with pumpkin notes and subtle hints of cinnamon and clove—perfect to have on hand for guests.
