October Must Haves – Favorite Products for the Entire Family

We’re deep into fall now, and before we shift our entire attention to the holiday season, let’s discuss October, shall we? Every month my family compiles a list of our top five, must have, couldn’t live without favorite products – only things we genuinely use and love – and share them with you. This month is one of my favorites – so many good products to share . Let’s get into it, shall we?

As always, I only ever share products we genuinely love and use. I purchase all products and my opinion is never influenced. If you purchase from my links I may earn a small commission (and if you do – thank you for your support, it means the world to me!) ⁠Whether or not a link is commissionable does not influence my decision to share the product.

MOM

1. Forever Favorite Home Decor Item – Letter Ledges: The best (and easiest) way to make your home feel festive for birthdays, holidays, big & small moments. A true joy in my home and a contender for my favorite products of the year.
   
2. Bye-Bye Alligator Feet – Foot Mask: These feel like a miracle and are such an easy and relaxing way to soften feet and feel refreshed.
   
3. Make Money While You Shop – Rakuten: If you haven’t discovered Rakuten yet, let me enlighten you! Download the plugin and you’ll earn cash back for tons of purchases. Get a “Big Fat Check” once a month. (AHEM – install before Holiday shopping!).
   
4. Never Lose Your Keys Again – Bubble Key Ring: I absolutely love mine! Throw it on your wrist when your hands are full, dig through a giant purse and find it instantly – an inexpensive, small pleasure of life.
   
5. Stylish Organization Hack – Acrylic Family Calendar: I have two in my home – one in my kitchen to organize the entire family’s schedules, and one in my daughter’s room because she’s obsessed with knowing what comes next. Every home needs one (or two… or more…)

DAD

1. Stylish & Warm – Waterproof Boots: Ugg has recently gotten a stylish upgrade and these boots are proof. They have been so good for fall and will take him into winter easily.
   
2. Energizing and Effective – Facial Fuel: The men’s face product I often steal (so technically it could also be on my favorite product list?). He’s used this for years and will never switch.
   
3. Control Your Irrigation from Anywhere – Smart Sprinkler Controller: Is it just my husband, or is this something all men geek out about? I’m not saying I understand, but I am saying it brings him a lot of joy.
   
4. Fall Fashion – The Best Vest, Hands-Down: Ahhh Vuori, how do we love thee? Let us count the ways. Whatever they make, it’s an instant must have and this vest is no different. It’s perfection in a vest.
   
5. There is No Better Scent – Men’s Cologne Collection: Another just absolutely wonderful brand, we love Jo Malone! This scent collection for men is perfection (one of them is the cologne he wore for our wedding!) and it will never go out of style.

PRESCHOOL GIRL

1. Fave Character on Fave Toy – Bluey Watch: Every adult in our family has an AppleWatch, so she feels especially cool with her own watch, that also keeps her totally entertained. Bluey does it again!
   
2. For the Little Acrobat – Gymnastics Bar: This was one of the gifts we got for her 4th birthday and it has been a huge hit. It gets daily use in our home and she’s so proud of the tricks she can do.
   
3. The Cutest Fall Shoes – Girls’ Moccasins: We get new Minnetonka shoes for our kids every year, (one of our annual favorite products!) they are comfortable and cute and just the best! (And they zip up the back for easy on/off!)
   
4. Dinos Meet Magnetic Tiles – Dinosaur Set: Another 4th birthday gift that has just been the hugest hit. Such a perfect addition to our Magnatile collection.
   
5. Cutest and Easiest Tonie Storage – The Shelvie: We had been misplacing Tonie characters and regularly searching bed sheets and laundry baskets to find them. Enter, the Shelvie Shelf. This magnetic shelf is adorable and so easy for her to stick her Tonies on. Win, win!

TODDLER BOY

1. Coziest Jammies that Sell Out Every Year – Fleece Pajamas: I fully understand the hype. These pajamas are the softest, they wash well, they’re warm. He has three pairs (and his sister has two).
   
2. Another Bluey Winner – Dancing Plush: You didn’t think we could do a monthly favorites post with only one Bluey toy, right? This thing is adorable and well loved (and it’s sure to sell out for the holidays).
   
3. Open/Close Eyes Baby – The Sweetest Baby Doll: This is just the sweetest doll there is for this age. The weight, the smell, the opening and closing eyes. It is lovely (and I regularly gift it!)
   
4. Forever (and ever) Favorite – The Nugget: We have two nuggets in our home and a third is on our Christmas list. When I say forever favorite, I mean it. The kids play with them constantly. Daily. Multiple times daily. If you’re thinking, “I don’t get it”, you’re not alone. I didn’t either. But the kids do. It’s a fort, a mountain, an obstacle course – the options are limitless.
   
5. Riding Toy + Farm – Riding Tractor: My son has three loves right now, babies, tomfoolery, and tractors. This toy is just adorable. He loves riding it around the house and playing with the farm animals.

So there you have it, our very favorite products of October. I’d love to know what you’re loving this month! Let me know in the comments below.
