1. A KitchenAid nonstick rolling pin for all those pies you "plan" on baking with all the fresh fruit you've gone and picked. Plus that hole in the handles means you can hang it up to store.
2. A metal rake to gather up all those leaves the old-fashioned way and get a decent workout while getting some fresh air (at least that's what you can tell yourself to get through fall's worst chore).
3. A two-pack of machine-washable fleece plush throw blankets so you and your cuddle buddy (human or pet) can keep warm when those temps start to drop later in the year.
4. A two-pack of soft, corduroy decorative throw pillows that come in so many colors you'll be able to change them up every season to (pumpkin) spice up your home.
5. A set of three heavy-duty, reusable canvas tote bags for a day of apple picking or grabbing any kind of fruit and vegetables from your local farmer's market.
6. A 28-inch round wood-burning fire pit, because roasting s'mores and telling ghost stories always requires an outdoor (semi) open flame.
7. A Google Nest learning thermostat to customize and control your home's temperature setting and hopefully save some money on heating costs for the colder seasons ahead.
8. A bag of Brach’s candy corn, because even if you don't like eating it, a big 'ol bowl of this colorful confectionery makes for a bright seasonal decoration.
9. An all-purpose electric blower for clearing out patios, driveways, decks, and garages with up to 155 mph air speeds. Leaves, dirt, and dust don't stand a chance.
10. A three-pack of Martinelli’s sparkling apple cider, because apple juice is for children (especially in juice box form) and this sparkling version is soooooooo adult! Also, a little bit of the bubbly makes a great seasonal cocktail mixer.
11. A Wilson official NFL "Super Grip" football, which most certainly isn't made of pigskin, but that won't stop you from reliving your "glory days" on the gridiron. Just remember to practice your pump fakes if you haven't tossed in a while.
12. A zip-up, cotton-poly-blended Fruit of the Loom fleece full-zip hooded sweatshirt to make your go-to "going outside to do this quick thing that could turn into a not-so-quick thing" fall wardrobe item.
13. A set of collapsible walking/hiking sticks for traversing nearly any terrain you encounter.
14. An easy-to-assemble wheelbarrow that'll carry up to 300-pounds of whatever (or whomever) you can fit in its rustproof, plastic tray.
15. A striped cowl neck tunic sweater to keep you both stylish and warm when it gets a little too windy or chilly out there.
16. A resin wicker garden hose guide and hideaway, because your hose that worked hard all summer long needs to hibernate when fall clean up is done so it doesn't get damaged by impending cold weather.
17. A 40-ounce Thermos stainless steel bottle for holding your hottest chocolates, lattes, or toddies and keeping them that way if you can't get to sipping until later in the day.
18. A bag of Scotts Turf Builder WinterGuard Fall weed and feed, because fall is the best time to nurture your lawn to build stronger and deeper roots for the springtime.
19. A long, lightweight Pashmina scarf to "protect ya neck" but also add a splash of color to your more quiet fall tones.
20. A 40-count box of Hefty Strong "Lawn & Leaf" extra-large trash bags, because all those leaves you raked have got to go somewhere that can't handle their weight and not get easily destroyed by weather, animals, or other neighborhood threats.
21. A large apple and pumpkin-scented Yankee Candle to fill your home with the unofficial (but kind of official, actually) smell of the season. The best part? You don't have to choose between your two favorite scents.
22. A pair of waterproof, rubber-soled steel toe work boots for kicking the tires, lighting the fires, or whatever chore you feel that the safety of your toes is in question.
23. A six-pack of Duraflame firelogs to easily get that fire started and burning for a good three hours (results may vary).
24. An oscillating, electric tower heater with a remote control so you can warm things up at night or early in the morning without actually turning up the heat throughout your home.
25. A plaid flannel shirt, because it's a classic component for every fall uniform that never goes out of style and always feels comfortable whenever you put it on.
26. A pair of soft, foam-lined ultra-light knee pads for getting down and dirty in the backyard without putting too much pressure on those patellas.
27. A Rubbermaid "Brute" outdoor trash can that won't mind when you kick it to the curb (on trash or recycling pick-up days at least).
28. A 12-pack of regular mouth glass mason jars with lids and bands for ambitious gourmands looking to can jams, jellies, preserves, or any other seasonal fruit and veggies concoctions they've created.
29. A three-piece set of cotton flannel bed sheets, because that first chilly night sliding under these is one of the single best moments to look forward to every single fall.
30. A jar of McCormick cinnamon sticks to spice up hot drinks and dessert recipes. Just don't use it as a straw.
31. A three-pack of Count Chocula, Franken Berry, and Boo Berry cereals, that, OK, aren't quite practical but they are a seasonally appropriate (and spooky) that's not just for breakfast anymore (not that it ever was).
Fall is practically here so it's time to get practical about your preparation in order to squeeze out as much time before Day Light Savings (and the darkness) hits.
