1 Fawn Design Original Fall Colors
"Following the updates made to its most popular diaper bag, Fawn Design released a new slew of colors that scream Fall. Available in honey (pictured above), wine, and navy, the Fawn Design Original ($170) is the most fashionable functional diaper bag out there. And the best part? I don't even have kids and it's still the most functional bag I own." — Alessia Santoro, editor, Moms
2 Zella Live In High Waist Leggings
"These Zella Live In High Waist Leggings ($54) have an obsessive fan base for good reason. Thick and completely opaque yet stretchy and comfortable, these are the perfect leggings for upgrading your mom uniform." — Angela Elias, content director, Moms
3 Chelsea King Hair Scrunchies
"Give your messy mom bun a seriously cute upgrade with one of these Chelsea King Hair Scrunchies ($18-$20), which come in a variety of colors and fabrics and all make me want to put my notoriously left-down hair straight up. The Blush Hair Tie ($20) pictured is at the top of my wish list, and I plan on taking an obnoxious amount of selfies with it in my bun." — AS
4 Skip Hop Zoo Little Kid Backpack
"Even Dracula would adore this adorable Skip Hop Zoo Little Kid Backpack ($20). Seriously, who doesn't love a friendly face? This durable backpack has tons of pockets and even a little padding in the shoulders." — Murphy Moroney, assistant editor, Moms
5 Lively The Balconette Bra
"The Lively The Balconette Bra ($35) does wonders for any mom who's recently weaned — or even not so recently — and feels that they don't have the lift they used to. It's completely comfortable and provides just enough lift without feeling over the top." — Rebecca Brown, senior editor, Shop and Moms
6 Rags Skelly Halloween Rag
"Anytime I see a photo of a kid in a Rags jumper on Instagram, I squeal a little bit — they're just so cute! The company's Halloween collection (which is selling out FAST), features this adorable Skelly Rag ($46) that I'm seriously considering buying now for my future kids." — AS
7 Beauty by Popsugar Just Enough Tinted Moisturizer
"As a new mom, I have next to no time for beauty upkeep. I love that this Beauty by POPSUGAR Just Enough Tinted Moisturizer ($35) spreads on evently and feels super lightweight. Plus, because it's SPF 15, it serves double duty, providing me with coverage and protection from the sun. It's also free of parabens and mineral oil." — RB
8 Donut Teether
"The Museum of Ice Cream just released a new line of baby items, and yup, it's exactly what we've dreamed of. Our favorite product? This Donut Teether ($10), which will give little ones a head start in the sweet-tooth department." — MM
9 Freshly Picked Halloween Moccs
"I hope my love affair with Freshly Picked never dies, because the company's moccs bring me so much joy. Last year's Halloween collection was good, but this year, FP has outdone itself. These Black Cat City Moccs ($60) are so cute, it actually hurts me." — AS
10 The Classico Carry-On
"With the holiday season fast approaching, I've been looking for a carry-on piece of luggage that can fit my stuff and my daughter's clothing. The Classico Carry-On ($300) has the biggest interior I've ever seen in a carry-on, plus the lid stays open, which makes filling the pockets easier than ever." — RB
11 Honest Company Baby Diapers in Baby Boo
"There's no shortage of diaper needs in my house. Since we're already huge fans of Honest Co.'s ultra-absorbent, ecofriendly diapers, why not add some holiday spirit into the mundane activity of diaper-changing? Honest Company Baby Diapers in Baby Boo ($11) are new for the month and a must if you love this brand." — RB
12 Collapsible Silicone Cup
"If your goal is to drink more home-brewed coffee, getting the right to-go cup is key. This Stojo S2-ROS Collapsible Silicone Cup ($12) comes with a built-in straw that folds back down when you're ready to collapse the cup. It's made from safe, recyclable materials (no BPAs, phthalates, leads, or glues) and can go both in the dishwasher and microwave." — AE
13 Stonz Orca Toddler Booties
"Little ones will stay warm and dry this season with a pair of Stonz Orca Toddler Booties ($43), which feature a friendly whale that looks like it's jumping right into the puddles with your kiddo." — MM
14 Thule Sleek Stroller
"Thule is all about supporting family adventures, and its newest stroller, the stylish Thule Sleek ($800), sets out to be a flexible option for any type of trip outside the house. It has no-puncture, foam-filled rear tires for a smooth ride on rougher terrain, a ventilated canopy with a peekaboo window and extendable sun visor, and a reclining seat that has three positions for sleeping, resting, and sitting upright." — AS
15 Catalina Crunch
"We're a low-carb household, so we typically skip cereal entirely. But after tasting this new Catalina Crunch ($40 for a 30-day supply), I'm happy to announce that breakfast has forever changed for my husband and me. Where most low-carb cereal fails, Catalina Crunch is just sweet enough — and crunch — to make you feel like you're not sacrificing taste. It's vegan, grain-free, keto-friendly, and has zero sugar." — RB
