31 Things For Anyone Who Plans On Spending As Much Time Out In The Yard As Possible This Fall


2.

A pair of waterproof clogs so you can stomp around outside without fear of ruining your footwear (or tracking mud into the house). Made from 100% recycled material, you just wipe or hose these off when they get dirty — it’s that easy!

And a set of two LED cornhole lights so you can illuminate your boards. This kit lights up in 16 different colors and is remote controlled.

7.

A waterproof portable Bluetooth speaker that can withstand all sorts of autumn weather. When I say this is waterproof, I mean waterproof. It was designed to literally be submerged in a pool without problem, so if for some reason a rainstorm hits your backyard, you won’t have to worry about this speaker dying — it can handle it! It can also belt out tunes for up to 12 hours before needing a charge.

8.

A waterproof outdoor rug to section off a specific area for outdoor entertaining. The material is breathable so it won’t kill grass underneath it, and it’s also got a UV coating so it won’t fade over time.

10.

A portable karaoke microphone that’ll transform your outdoor patio into a karaoke bar from the moment you connect it to the app of your choosing. A single charge will last two hours of uninterrupted belting, so make sure you have the latest Beyoncé album memorized from start to finish.


12.

An Adirondack chair that folds down when not in use, so when winter inevitably comes you can easily store it away. It’s also weatherproof and won’t fade, thanks to the material it’s made of that’s stronger than wood.

15.

A mesh raised dog bed so your pampered pooch can have a designated spot for lounging without fear of being too cold. Because it’s raised, it will stay warm when the weather’s chilly.

16.

An American Ninja Warrior obstacle course that’ll make sure kids can have some fun outside instead of being cooped up inside. Reviewers say you the ideas for courses are endless, so your kids will be entertained for hours.


18.

A set of scaredy cats lawn decorations that aren’t just cute, they also help deter critters from entering your yard. The eyes are marbles — aka reflective — so when the light at night hits ’em they look extra spooky.

21.

A tiny tabletop fireplace with removable glass so you can enjoy a freshly made s’more from the comfort of your own backyard. Available in three sizes, the smallest base is 3″x3,” and was specifically designed for folks with limited outdoor space.

23.

A pair of Leaf Scoops gloves so raking up dead leaves won’t take forever. You know how it goes. You’re admiring your backyard, hot cup of apple cider in hand, when you realize it’s littered with piles of unkept leaves. Because of the sizes of these gloves, you’ll get the job done faster than you would if you used a traditional rake.

24.

A solid copper drip- and bee-proof stake hummingbird feeder you can stick in any flower pot when a hanging one isn’t an option. In no time at all your backyard will be a DIY aviary.


25.

An inflatable hot tub, because it’s really this easy to turn your backyard into what feels like a 5-star resort. Pop open a bottle of bubbly to enjoy with your hot tub bubbles.


26.

A hammock that’s designed for not one but two people to lounge in comfortably. Grab your cutie and spend your evening stargazing.


27.

An eight-person tent to have a fun overnighter outside without having to sacrifice space. Set up is a breeze and it has an extra layer for the roof in case of serious downpours.

28.

A projection screen that’ll take your outdoor entertaining to the next level. Imagine what the Big Game will look like on this baby?!

29.

A portable grill so you cook your dinners out back, no problem. It’s a smallish grill — three burners total — which is perfect for those of us with limited outdoor space.

A leaf blower that’ll clear your outdoor space year round, but especially in fall when literally all the leaves start falling.

And a washable door mat in fall colors so that your friends and fam (and, ahem, you) can wipe their feet off in style before entering your home.
