Leaf blowers
They call it “fall” for a reason — because all those leaves that start on your tree wind up falling on your lawn. If you ever want to see your grass again, you’re going to need a good leaf blower. Better yet, get a rechargeable cordless model so you aren’t choking on gas fumes.

Fall gloves
Fall — at least late fall — calls for gloves in much of the country. Sure, you probably won’t have to bust out the puffy, waterproof, snowball-fighting handwear until winter. But it’s definitely wise to have a thin but warm pair of cool-weather gloves in your jacket pocket just in case you need them.

Scarves
That nice new fall jacket looks great — but it’s pretty useless if the wind can whip down through the neck opening. That’s where a fall scarf comes in. Once the weather cools off you’ll have plenty of options, but Amazon is likely the cheapest.

Fall candles
There’s nothing better than coming home to a nice warm house on a chilly fall day. But warmth is as much about ambiance as it is about temperature. Warm up the room both figuratively and literally by lighting some candles with classic fall scents — but do it for less by buying at Amazon.

Space heaters
Fall is the time when it’s cold enough outside to be uncomfortably chilly in the house, but not cold enough to crank up the big, expensive central heating system. One solution is to place a small yet powerful space heater in your room at night. Heat your room for less by buying from Amazon. The company sells lots of products that will help you save money.
