53 Kitchen & Home Items Perfect for This Fall

My mother-in-law got me one of these magnetic pickup tools as a Christmas present, and I use it all the time in my shop, where I seem destined to drop nearly everything behind a very heavy, hard-to-move workbench. It's got a long, telescoping neck, a built-in flashlight head with a strong, rare earth magnet that can hold pretty much anything. It's even got a magnetic base so you can set it up as a useful spotlight or work light. This is one of those 100% dad-gifts that they'll actually use. - Chris S.

So, I recently decided to give this sponge a whirl. This little yellow gadget packs a powerful punch when it comes to tackling stubborn grime and fog.

I put it to the test on windows in my home, including mirrors and shower doors, and it works like an absolute charm. Talk about versatility! The fact that it seamlessly transitions from car care to home care is a real win for me. -Tricia G.

You’re not a christened pet owner until you almost break your face when you trip over them in the middle of the night.

I'm particularly fond of them as they're the invention of a Minnesota dad, and the company is entirely family-run. Check them out! -Chris S.

I have a weakness for cute kitchen gadgets. Squirrel-shaped salt and pepper shakers? Yes, please. A vegetable peeler that looks like a cactus? Sign me up. So obviously, when I stumbled upon this three-piece set of Loch Ness Monster-shaped gadgets, I clicked "add to cart" without even thinking about it. It includes a Nessie-shaped ladle, strainer, and tea infuser.

Finally, a place to put every last scrap of garbage in your car (that's not those hidden pockets in the door - you know what I'm talking about). This can can hold up to 2.5 gallons of trash (dry, wet, or otherwise), and strap anywhere you need them in the car, so you'll never be at a loss for where to stuff that empty Starbucks cup as you make room for a new one.

I should really be embarrassed by what I was using as measuring spoons before I got this magnetic set. I got clunky heart-shaped spoons that are attached to one another, only have a few sizes (which are hard to read anyway), don't fit into any jar, and rust a little more every time I wash them. I was so excited to find this magnetic spoon set because it was a major upgrade for me. They fit neatly in my drawer without being bulky or clanging around and do the job infinitely better. Measuring spoons may seem like a small detail in a kitchen, but I love these so much I will actually be adding them to any wedding shower gift I give from now on. -Laura W.

We know — high praise for something you squirt on TP. It turns TP into a flushable wet wipe, so you have one available anytime you need it.

I wanted a really bright flashlight for my first camping trip in the White Mountains, and this flashlight did not disappoint!

Simply split the pretty decorative tile design into separate parts, or keep it assembled if you only need one large trivet. It looks so cute on my stovetop and is a definite conversation starter!

We have one of those front-load washers, which annoyingly smells like mildew if you don't clean it.
