One of my favorite parts of a new season is restocking on seasonal essentials—and finding new items to incorporate into my routine. Now that fall is officially here, I already have plenty to choose from thanks to our shopping editors’ expert taste. I polled our team again this month and found 12 new products they’re loving, from a mod Dorai Stone Bath Mat to a classic Cocokind lip balm. And just like every month, each includes an exclusive Forbes Vetted reader discount.

A Chic And Durable Rug

Revival Stripe Washable Rug (5×7)

Revival makes a few of our favorite rugs, including our pick for the best round area rug and the best rug for pet owners. Supervising deals and coupons editor Kara Cuzzone turned to the brand to find a rug that would elevate her apartment’s aesthetic but still stand up against a pup. “[The Revival Stripe Washable Rug is] soft and plush like your typical area rug, but way easier to spot treat,” she says. “I can remove dirt and pet stains with a few spritzes of all-purpose cleaner and a gentle scrub so the light beige carpet looks good as new.” This offer stacks on existing discounts and is live through Sept. 29.

A Best-Selling Backpack For Kids

State Bags Kane Double Pocket Backpack

When it comes to the best kids gear, baby and kids writer Alicia Betz has her finger on the pulse. If you’re still looking for a good backpack for your little one, she recommends this classic State Bag: “It’s so well made and looks really sharp,” she says. “I find that it’s a lot more spacious than other backpacks, and the material is really easy to wipe off.” (Two features that are especially helpful with kids.) The code is good for 20% off sitewide, so make sure to check out the rest of its designs as well. It has chic styles that span from classic purses to packing cubes.

This Pretty (And Sensitive Skin-Friendly) Lip Balm

Cocokind Ceramide Lip Blur Balm

You can always rely on commerce editor Katherine Louie to have the best beauty staples in her rotation. When I put out a call for favorite products, this Cocokind lip balm was the first on her mind. “If you’re sensitive to fragrance in cosmetics like I am (especially lip products), you’ll love this hydrating lip balm,” she says. “It’s formulated without fragrance or essential oils, among other common irritants, and has a smooth texture that glides onto the lips.” The balm comes in five gorgeous shades and is great for daytime wear.

This Cozy Quilted Puffer

Bernardo Avery Quilted Puffer Jacket

With fall officially here, it’s time to start thinking about your cold-weather wardrobe. Despite her Southern California locale, updates writer Claire Epting is heading to the UK soon and excited to bundle up. “I can’t wait to bring my Bernardo Avery Quilted Puffer Jacket with me—this thing is so warm,” she says. “I love the longer length to keep my bottom half covered while sitting on cold benches, and the built-in hood is perfect for unexpected bouts of wind and drizzle.” This discount is live through Sept. 29 and good for 25% off all styles over $100.

A Sustainable And Self-Charging Keyboard Recommended By Our Tech Editor

The Targus EcoSmart Keyboard

As a writer, tech editor Rebecca Isaacs spends all day on the keyboard and is always looking for ergonomic solutions, due to joint and tendon issues. The Targus EcoSmart is one of two keyboards she pivots between. “The keys are relatively quiet when typing for long hours, and I love the sleek, low profile on my desk,” she says. “It’s made from eco-friendly materials and in all of two years, I’ve only had to charge it once.” (This is thanks to a built-in solar panel on top that she calls “magical.”) The overall typing experience is snappy and it can connect with up to three devices across Android, Windows, Chrome OS and iOS. “Oh, and there’s an antimicrobial coating to help keep bacteria down,” she adds, “because let’s be real here: We’re not always mindful of cleaning our keys.”

A Chic Bath Mat That’s Clean And Convenient

Dorai Zen Bath Stone Mat

I love when someone falls in love with a product I’ve never really considered. Editorial director Brinda Ayer picked up this stone bath mat a couple of months ago and says it’s one of the best new items in her home. “[It] dries in literal seconds, doesn’t get weird and gross (or if it does, you can just rinse it and buff it with a bit of sandpaper) and looks pretty cute as far as bath mats go,” she says. The price may (understandably) give you pause, but she says it’s worth it. The mat is more sanitary and easier to maintain than your average cloth or teak mat, especially if you live somewhere humid where mold is a common issue. This code is live through the weekend and works on all of the brand’s standard bath stones.

A Smart Bird Bath For A Bird Lover

Birdfy Bath Pro Solar Bird Bath And Camera

It’s a little early for the gifting season, but I believe in getting a head start to minimize stress. If you’re a bird lover or gifting to an ornithologically minded friend, I’m a big fan of this smart bird bath. While it’s made of plastic and was shorter than I expected once put together, the bath was easy to get going and the camera is truly impressive. It sends crisp videos of birds (and sometimes squirrels) directly to your phone, so you can enjoy your backyard’s woodland magic, even if you’re stuck working inside. If you don’t mind paying a subscription, the A.I. camera also tells you what type of bird you’re looking at, which I think is pretty fun. This code works sitewide and stacks on top of existing offers for an additional discount.

A Time-Tested Favorite Body Scrub

Frank Body Original Coffee Scrub

Every good shower routine could use an exfoliant. Frank Body’s Original Coffee Scrub has been a favorite of managing editor Emmy Favilla for years. The scrub delivers a deep exfoliation to your body and, thanks to its primary ingredient, has a pleasant scent that coffee lovers will appreciate. “It’s like a pot of coffee permeating your shower,” she says, “so it kind of works to trick my brain and signal all things morning.”

Another Longtime-Favorite From Our Managing Editor

Mott & Bow Fitted Crew Marcy Tee (Women’s)

“Finding a simple fitted T-shirt that fits perfectly and washes well is often a surprisingly tall order,” says Favilla. She’s turned to Mott & Bow for wardrobe staples for years. “It ticks all the boxes and is made with a soft Pima cotton-modal blend fabric that keeps things light and comfortable, even on warm days.” If you’ve been meaning to pick up a few extra tees, the code is live through October, so you can stock up. However, you can’t stack the code on already-discounted bundles.

A Natural Supplement To Get You Back On Schedule

Hum Mighty Night Supplements

Shifting seasons can impact more than just the weather. Your entire schedule can fall out of sync as well. Epting says she always has a little trouble adjusting her schedule to a new season, especially when it comes to sleep. “These Mighty Night supplements from Hum allow me to sleep deeper, and I’ve noticed I don’t wake up as frequently in the middle of the night,” she says. The supplements include naturally calming ingredients like valerian root and passion flower, as well as skin-friendly additions, like ceramides and ferulic acid. You can also stack this offer with the brand’s bundles and subscription discounts to save even more.

This Luxe Quilt For The Changing Weather

Cozy Earth Soft-Wash Cotton Quilt

Cozy Earth has long been a staple at Forbes Vetted. (The brand makes our pick for the softest sheets and my favorite waffle towels.) And senior updates editor Karen Tiejen says the newer Soft-Wash Cotton Quilt is just as luxe. “It adds a touch of plushness to my bed and offers a comforting weight—without being too heavy—as the seasons transition to fall,” she says. Full disclosure: Cozy Earth offers 30% to 35% off semi-regularly. However, it’s not planning to host any sales through October, so this is a great time to cozy up your space ahead of November.

A Gorgeous Finishing Oil You’ll Put On Everything

O Olive Oil

O California Fresh Basil Olive Oil

A good olive oil is a staple and Favilla says this bottle always has a space in her pantry. “I tried this O California Fresh Basil Olive Oil for the first time about two months ago and I’ve been hooked ever since, drizzling it on anything I possibly can: crackers and cheese, pizza, pasta, you name it,” she says. “I can imagine it also adds a delightful touch to vanilla ice cream.” More than just your usual olive oil, the addition of basil adds an extra brightness and freshness to just about anything. The code is good sitewide, so you can try a few of O California’s bestsellers while you’re at it.
