Products to make the most of the fall season

- Kaleb A. Brown

Fall has officially begun! There are plenty of ways to enjoy the season – from drinking pumpkin spice lattes to going on a walk in the cooler air. We’re here to celebrate the start of this wonderful season with you and give you a rundown on all the ways to enjoy autumn to the fullest. Here are our top 10 products for the fall.

A few facts

The first day of astrologic­al fall coincided with the autumnal equinox, wherein the length of day and night were equal and the sun was directly overhead at the equator. In the northern hemisphere, it began on Sept. 23.

Fall ends on Dec. 20 this year, with winter beginning the next day.

A fire pit

With the days getting shorter and colder, now’s the perfect time to host a backyard get-together around a roaring fire. If you haven’t been using a fire pit over the summer, we recommend the best fire pit we’ve tested, the Tiki Patio Fire Pit. We love this fire pit because it’s smokeless, easy to start, and easy to clean.

An instant camera

Fall might just be the most beautiful season out there thanks to the beautiful colors of the changing leaves. A fun and engaging way to capture all the beautiful moments the season has to offer is to use an instant camera. One of the best instant cameras around is the Fujifilm Instax Square SQ1 due to its ease of use, its low price point, and the size of its prints.

A rake and leaf blower

As per the name of the season, the leaves will fall and you’ll have to rake them – hey, those piles of leaves don’t jump on themselves and you can’t exactly have a pile without raking, To make the chore, well, less of a chore, we recommend our favorite rake, the Truper Tru Tough 24-inch Leaf Rake. This rake is perfectly weighted for comfort and comes with a 25-year warranty.
