It's not pumpkin spice (see below) but it's even better for fall, and it's so indulgent (though the price tag doesn't say so). Use this stuff as shampoo, body wash, and/or shower gel and smell divine all day long.

You've had a pumpkin spice latte, pumpkin spice crispy treats, and a spoonful of actual pumpkin spice, that's how much you love this fall favorite. Why not enjoy the scent, too? Can't have candles in your dorm? No worries, they sell the little melties too.

This stuff smells so good, you'll wish you could use it as a perfume, and really, there's no reason you can't. Dab a little on your lips, then why not your pulse points, too?
What other small (and inexpensive) luxuries can you recommend?
