What did October look like to you? As we head out of the year’s spookiest season, team R29 is reflecting on the products that enabled them to live out their most autumnal fantasies. They included candles and diffusers that evoke a roaring fire, the perfect pan for making a steaming batch of soup, and activewear suitable for runs on cooler days. But we weren’t just searching for warmth — there’s also joy to be found in bright crocheted coasters, multicolored ballpoint pens and the perfect toothbrush (listen, we all contain multitudes, whether they’re “seasonal” or not).
At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by us.

Suri Sustainable Electric Toothbrush, $92
If anyone saw a photograph of the toothbrush I was using before this, I would probably be kicked off the internet. After far too long, I have replaced my sad, old electric toothbrush with a shiny sustainable alternative that uses plant-based bristles and heads. It also comes with a self-cleaning case (yes, you heard that right), which for a germaphobe like me is truly, truly exciting.

Damson Madder Crochet Flower Coasters, £22I’ve been a huge fan of Damson Madder’s clothes and accessories for years now, and finally the brand has launched into the homeware space. These little crochet coasters are cute and perfect for my warm drinks this winter.

Away The Medium Suitcase, $345
I’m traveling to Mexico this month (I know, I’m sorry) and the need for a “big, but not too big” case has been a high priority. With a light shell and 360 wheels, this Away case is ideal for packing a mix of city and beach essentials, while still leaving enough room to bring home lots of colorful crockery and souvenirs. Most importantly though, it is the medium size range, meaning I can’t overpack and get myself charged extra.

Maison Margiela Replica By The Fireplace Scented Diffuser, $95
My dream of owning an upstate cabin is nowhere near close to happening. So, when a friend gifted me this Margiela Replica diffuser, I was happy to learn I could create the feeling of sitting by a fireplace without having one at home. The smell is intoxicating in all the best ways and it’s perfect for cozy days reading on the couch.
