This Conti Comfort Kit is what a lot of people use. Several car manufacturers include this kit with their cars that don't have spare tires.

This one is basically the same but half the cost. Consumerreports said it's basically the same as the conti kit but took slightly longer to fill the tire.

A bonus of these kits is that you get a compressor to keep your tires or other inflatable items around the house inflated properly.
BMW has their mobility kit but it's around $130.
Some sealants are safe for use with TPMS, others are not so that's something to watch out for.

The cans work too but aren't as easy to use and there's a slight risk of the pressurized can exploding in a really hot trunk. CR testing also showed the cans don't do well sealing large nail holes, but are ok for smaller holes.
