1. An ~a-gourd-able~ lumbar pillow that'll add some cozy fall flavor to your outside seating.
Just a heads up that it isn't weather/waterproof, so take it inside if there's any bad weather in the forecast!
DW Creations LLC is a small Etsy shop based in New Holland, Ohio that specializes in handmade decorative pillows.
Promising review: "This is a beautiful and quaint pillow. It's perfect for my fall/Thanksgiving decorating. So well made. I'm very happy😍." —Christy Kelley
Get it from DW Creations LLC on Etsy for $27.20 (original $32).
2. A durable and weatherproof Dr. Infrared indoor/outdoor wall/ceiling heater so you can extend outdoor hangouts well into the chilly season we all know is coming. Choose between three heating modes using the handy remote control, and use the timer and auto shutoff features for extra convenience!
Key features: Electric, 900–1,500 Watts, remote control, auto shutoff, timer, wall/ceiling mounting bracket included (tripod sold separately).
Promising review: "Works great and is a really nice size, not dominating our deck. I put it directly above our outdoor sofa. Takes the edge off the cold for the two of us underneath. Doesn't make us hot, but makes us warm enough that sitting outside is really comfortable. I don't think if it's much farther away it will give enough heat. Works perfectly for us, though!" —Capt H
Get it from Amazon for $126.79.
3. Or a cast-iron fire pit if you'd rather cozy up next to a bonfire and maybe roast a marshmallow or two!
Promising review: "This is a great value and it was very easy to assemble! We used it recently and found it to be a great addition to our backyard — and it helped keep the mosquitoes away! As the weather has gotten colder at nights, I’ve been impressed by how sturdy the fire pit is and by the wonderful heat that it provides us!" —Arthur Glauberman
Get it from Amazon for $199.
4. *And* some extendable roasting sticks to help you make perfect s'mores without burning your hand in the process.
Promising review: "These roasting sticks will get the job done. They retract easily and will be perfect for light use (roasting marshmallows) with our firepit. Not extremely sturdy but not flimsy either. The metal points are not sharp which is a good thing if kids are handling them. I like the storage pouch it comes with too." —Sheri J. O
Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $11.99 (also available in packs of five, ten, and 15).
5. *ALSO* — a small tabletop firepit if you don't have room for a full-sized fire pit but still wanna enjoy roasting marshmallows over an open flame!
Grab fuel for this little bad boy here.
Promising review: "What is it about a fire that's so soothing? If you've ever sat around a campfire or gathered with friends at a patio fireplace, you know how the flames draw your eye, the warmth offers security, and conversation springs forth delightfully. Despite its tiny size, this tabletop fire pit offers up the same benefits of a traditional social fire gathering. As a centerpiece, it becomes a focal point and stimulates feelings of warmth and camaraderie. Bring out the marshmallows, and you have a fun and easy dessert that brings smiles all around! A small item that brings big satisfaction. This is one holiday purchase for which there are no regrets! —Nature Girl
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (also available as a pack of two).
6. A lovely garland covered in fall leaves (and one with built-in lights) to turn your patio into an autumn wonderland.
7. A cool hammock chair you'll love hangin' around in all autumn long.
It comes with two cushions and installation hardware, and can hold up to 500 pounds!
Promising review: "This came in great shape, it was easy to set up, and it is comfy and sturdy. As a plus-size woman, I was a little concerned about how sturdy it would be, but it is great! I've never felt nervous about hopping into it and staying there right until the mosquitoes come out." —Mal T
Get it from Amazon for $39.98+ (available in five colors).
8. Or a hammock with a steel stand and carrying case if a hanging hammock isn't an option, but you still wanna lounge comfortably under the wide open autumn sky.
Plus, the stand is easy to assemble, disassemble, and pack up in the included carrying case for storage or travel!
Long, but worthwhile promising review: "Features to love: The cotton fabric is sturdy and breathable. I never feel stuck to it the way I do in a nylon hammock. The setup/take down is super easy, and the frame is very sturdy — we have definitely put 300-plus pounds in it.
The ability to raise and lower the hammock with the multiple hook positions might be the best feature. I have bad knees and like to get into the hammock from a higher position... no problem. My kids like it lower so they can reach the ground to swing in... no problem.
It works great as a traditional hammock to lie in. It works as a 'swing' to sit on. It has enough fabric that you can cover up if you're cold or want to block out light or bugs.
We have accidentally left it out in the rain several times, and it dries great, hasn't faded from the sun, hasn't had any mold, and hasn't developed any weird smell.
Things not to love: Nothing! This is a great hammock. It may not be as portable as those little nylon hammocks, but if this is for your yard and not for camping, this is hard to beat." —Mary
Get it from Amazon for $69.99+ (available in a 18 colors/patterns).
9. A portable karaoke microphone that'll turn your patio into the coolest karaoke bar in town for all of your fall hangouts with friends and fam! The speaker is built in, so all you have to do is connect it to your phone or other device via Bluetooth or cable and start singin' the hits!
Promising review: "We need something to let the kids sing without having to turn on the whole karaoke system. This works like a charm. The Bluetooth connection helps as well. You can just turn on YouTube and look for any song, and they probably have a karaoke version or a sing-along they can sing to. The range is also great. We were outside and the volume can be heard nicely." —Phong Bui
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 14 colors).
10. A durable, Shark Tank-famous Rumpl outdoor blanket – it's super portable, waterproof, and dirt-resistant so you can use it for backyard picnics or to stay warm and cozy when the nights get a little nippy.
Rumpl is an Oregon-based small business specializing in outdoor blankets that donates a portion of its revenue to environmental nonprofits.
Promising review: "I've used it in Wisconsin to continue having outdoor hangouts with my friends during Coronatime. It's that extra cozy layer for patio dining and porch sitting. Packs down tight to keep in the car for impromptu outdoor happy hour!" —Julie K.

Get it from Amazon for $93.50+ (available in 34 colors) or from Rumpl for $125 (available in a variety of colors).
11. Connectable Edison bulb string lights to ensure that all of your patio parties are truly ~lit~ this season — especially since the sun is setting earlier.
Promising review: "I have ordered four boxes of these light sets now. I love love love these lights. When they arrived, I plugged them in while in the package to make sure they all worked. Then I unscrewed all the bulbs to make it easy to hang. I hung them up all around my balcony using a staple gun. When I finished I screwed the light bulbs all in :). I would highly recommend these lights. They are PINTEREST perfect!" —Cora
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in six sizes, three colors, two styles, and packs of two).
12. Or some pumpkin string lights for anyone who's been in the Halloween spirit for months already and is waiting for everyone else to catch up.
This set is 9.8 feet in length and is powered by three AA batteries. It has two different modes (flashing and steady) so you can create the perfect ambience for your party.
Promising review: "These lights are great because you don’t need to plug them in. They are a fun decoration that you can put on a table, string around a door, or put inside a haunted house. I like how there is a mode to leave them on and a second mode to leave them blinking. The pumpkins are small and cute. I can’t wait to put them out for my Halloween party!" —Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $9.99.
13. A three-piece wicker chair and table set — it'll provide comfy seating and a convenient place to put drinks and snacks so you can hang out on the porch and look at all the pretty fall colors around you.
This set includes two armchairs with seat cushions and a side table with a tempered glass top.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this set 😍. I cannot believe the price of it. It was fairly quick and easy to assemble. It’s a hit. I get so many compliments from anyone who rings the doorbell." —Mrs.Mathews
Get it from Amazon for $81.99+ (available in four colors).
14. Or a modern boho-style three-piece bistro set with two chairs and a matching glass top table that's ideal for small spaces. Plus, it'll make any yard, porch, or patio look instantly more fashionable.
Promising review: "Exactly what I was looking for. Construction seems sturdy. Dimensions and style were perfect for the small patio space I was looking to get use out of, and the egg shape of the chairs is very comfortable. I paired them with a seagrass outdoor rug, faux fur chair pads, a beanbag-style poof footstool, and some boho throw pillows, and love how the space was instantly transformed. I highly recommend this set." —Baby blues
Get it from Amazon for $129.99+ (available in five colors).
15. An insect repellent lotion bar you'll actually like the smell of — despite how much insects hate it — thanks to the blend of beeswax, mango butter, sunflower oil, citronella essential oils, and other helpful ingredients. If you can't stand the aroma of bug sprays but hate getting eaten alive by mosquitos while you count down the days until they disappear for winter, try this instead!
Seed Geeks is a small business based in Missouri that sells heirloom seeds and handmade skincare products.
Promising review: "I love the design embossed on the bar! It smells so good too! As someone who constantly gets bitten if I’m not wearing bug spray, I was excited to try out this more natural alternative. I’ve only tried it once so far, but it seemed to work really well! I highly recommend this!!" —Kelsey
Get it from Seed Geeks on Etsy for $6.49 (originally $12.98).
16. A pouch of Mystical Fire — simply drop it on any wood fire to magically change the color of the flames into a long-lasting, vibrant rainbow that'll delight you and your guests. Bonfire season just got a lot more colorful.
Promising review: "Mystical Fire Colorant is amazing. For a really fun experience, get some of these for your next camping trip. As if a campfire needs improvement... but this stuff is really neat. I'd say the adults love it even more than the kids. We only used one packet, and the colors were so good — seems like they lasted at least 20 minutes. There was even color left in the ashes the next day. We will never go camping again without several packs of Mystical Fire on hand." —TeNe
Get it from Amazon for $6.75.
17. A reviewer-loved portable projector so you can bring your Halloween horror movie marathon into the backyard this year!
Promising review: "This was purchased to watch movies outside. The quality is excellent and for the price you can’t go wrong! I would totally recommend this projector to anyone. It’s easy to use and the remote is functional. The speakers are actually very good when it comes to volume!" —Practical and Efficient Mom
Get it from Amazon for $65.99.
18. And a projection screen big enough to ensure that everyone's got the best seat no matter where they're scattered around your yard.
The screen is 120-inches and made of an anti-crease material. It also comes with brackets and ropes for mounting purposes.
Promising review: "This screen is perfect for our use. We bought it for outdoor movie nights on the garage door, in the backyard, camping, or inside the garage. It’s very easy to install with no wrinkles and shows a great picture. I’ve attached pictures (above) that show how well I can still see the picture despite being surrounded by 7,000 Christmas lights in close vicinity." —Hallie H.
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
19. A leaf blower that'll make it fast and easy to clear the autumn leaves off of your patio.
It's also great for clearing debris from your driveway, patio, pathway, and other areas all year round!
Promising review: "I didn't expect such a powerful blower at this price. I have a large front and backyard, and needed a blower that was powerful but lightweight (arthritis) and this delivered beyond my expectations. Great product and great price." —Kristina, USA buyer
Get it from Amazon for $32.56.
20. An inflatable hot tub so you can take a nice hot soak on breezy fall nights.
It comes with a pump that handles all the inflating, heating, and filtration as well as the massage system — did I mention the massage system?? At just the push of a button, AirJets release soothing bubbles that'll make you feel like you're at your own personal spa in your own backyard!
Promising review: "I was skeptical about buying an inflatable hot tub, but my sister has wanted one forever. After researching many varieties we ended up purchasing this. I am amazed at how well it works. I have had it for several months now and it is still working perfectly. The lining is thick and sturdy, and supports your back. It is easy to get in and out of. The cushioned bottom is more comfy than I expected. It holds heat well, we like it at 104 and it stays between 102 and 104 while in use in a 40- to 60-degree environment. The bubbles are plentiful, relaxing, and strong. I thought set up was quite easy, I give it five out of five stars. Get it!" —Kristine
Get it from Amazon for $531.39 (available in two sizes).
21. A strong and bright magnetic barbecue light for anyone who wants to keep the grill going after sundown — which is tragically getting earlier and earlier.
Promising review: "These grill lights are exactly what I needed! They light up the area so well. The magnets are strong, and the ability to direct the light where needed is great. The package they came in is perfect to store them in when not in use! I have recommended these to several people who also think they are great. I was worried they would be cheap and maybe not have a lot of magnetic hold to them, but they do!!" —LC
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
22. A tiny, but surprisingly loud portable outdoor Bluetooth speaker with over 141,000 5-star ratings so you can soundtrack your time outdoors with some stellar playlists! Might I suggest adding some fall classics like this and this?
Promising review: "Wow. When I opened the box and pulled it out I thought it was bit small and surely wouldn't be that loud.... BOY WAS I WRONG!! This FREAKING ROCKS!!! Seriously don't hesitate BUY ONE! The reviews were spot on! Best money I've ever spent on a Bluetooth speaker. The wife was skeptical, and then I turned it on and she was like 'wow, excellent purchase — way to go!'" —RIC78
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in four styles, six colors, and golf or Coca-Cola-themed versions).
23. A tall table cooler combo in case you need both a high top *and* somewhere to keep your bevvies chilled while soaking up the last days when it'll still be warm enough to hang outside.
Promising review: "I have received a lot of compliments regarding this little cooler/table, and for the price, I'm very happy with the purchase. We were looking for a smaller table to complement our larger patio set. After our last party, I think I may have made a couple of sales for the Keter brand.
The cooler kept drinks cold for quite a while, especially considering we didn't put much ice in it. The standing feature is nice too. Just lock the table in the open position and you can use it for a tall drink stand which works well. If you're looking for a little table for a patio set OR for a little patio cooler this product can take care of both needs." —Phenom13
Get it from Amazon for $81.41+ (available in two colors).
24. Some reclining zero-gravity lounge chairs with attachable cup holders that'll turn your patio into the ultimate relaxation station this fall. Plus, you can fold them up for easy portability if you wanna take 'em on the go.
Promising review: "Heaven in a chair. Love everything about the zero-gravity chair! This is my first experience sitting in a chair like this... and I love it. I fell asleep outside, and it felt better than a hammock. I bought the beige... love the color. The fabric feels like a tough nylon. It has already rained on my chair, so I can attest that the chair is waterproof. The water beads off the fabric. I dried off the chair easily and effortlessly. The attachable table is adorable and fits perfectly on the frame of the chair. So happy I purchased." —tgi2day
Get a set of two from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in 24 colors).
25. Some indoor- *and* outdoor-friendly stretchy spider webbing to ensure that your patio is truly the spookiest this year.
Promising review: "This bag of fake spider webbing is huge! I own a 3,000-square-foot house and was able to place webbing on the entirety of the first floor for a party. This included placing webbing on both the back deck and screened-in porch. Imagine an entire corner of a room filled from floor to ceiling and about three feet wide on either side, and multiply that by seven or eight, and that's how much webbing this is. I used clear push pins to stretch the webbing over and it gave the party a great effect. This does not come with little black spiders." —Scott Hutchings
Get it from Amazon for $10.79.
26. An oversized outdoor blanket perfect for fall picnics or cozy hangouts after the sun goes down.
Turkish Dowry is a small Turkey-based Etsy shop that specializes in weaving beautiful peshtemals.
Promising review: "I purchased the Turkish blanket in gray. It washed up beautifully on gentle cycle with warm water and dried in the dryer on medium. It is soft and very cozy! I bought the burgundy blanket for my daughter! It is a wonderful blanket and I highly recommend it!" —Peggy Kessel
Get it from Turkish Dowry on Etsy for $46+ (available in 24 colors).
27. A light-up palm tree so you can keep the tropical vibes going long after all the other green things surrounding your patio have turned brown.
28. And some light-up flowers if you want your patio to be surrounded by a breathtaking garden all year round!
Promising review: "The pictures don't do these justice. At night my backyard looks like a scene from Avatar. The light itself is not bright, but the colors are very vibrant and intense. The color transition is gradual and glowing. They are hypnotic to watch. During the day they are unobtrusive and don't look too fake or artificial. The green leaves are very bendable, the stems of the flowers are somewhat pliable, and the cloth that makes up the petals can be smoothed and manipulated a bit so you can make them look different and more realistic. I've had them for a couple of weeks and so far they are performing perfectly. They are simply beautiful and we love them!" —Zavanna
Get eight flowers (between two bunches) from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in two color combos).
29. A compact outdoor bar set in case you plan to entertain some guests out on the deck for the occasional fall happy hour. It has four shelves in the back for storing bottles, cocktail ingredients, and other supplies, so you can show off your bartending skills *without* having to run back inside your house every few minutes to restock. It also comes with two bar stools with thick sponge-padded cushions for extra comfort!
It comes with a bar table and two cushioned stools.
Promising review: "We ordered two of these outdoor bars for our patio. They look so great put side by side to create one long bar. I searched online for days and found this item to be the best value (as each bar comes with two stools, cushions, and the glass top). The instructions could have been a little more helpful, but it was fairly easy to figure out. The bar is very sturdy, and the shelving inside is great for extra storage. If you are looking for a relatively inexpensive way to improve your outdoor space, this bar is the perfect addition!" —Debbie M
Get it from Amazon for $139.99+ (available in four styles).
30. A pretty beveled-glass wind chime that'll play a calming little jingly-jangly tune with every autumn breeze.
Almanor Art Glass is a small business based in Chester, California that crafts beautiful glass pieces.
Promising review: "I love it. This is an amazingly beautiful wind chime. I owned wind chime similar to this, and when it broke, I hunted for one to replace it, but it had been difficult because this is very unique. This one is even prettier with more detail." —Mary Jones
Get it from Almanor Art Glass on Etsy for $58.95 (available in two sizes/styles).
31. Or some solar-powered hummingbird wind chimes — they're beautiful during the day and STUNNING at night. They slowly change colors and can be hung both inside and outside to add a soothing vibe to your space.
32. An expandable water- and sun-resistant fence screen with artificial greenery that'll make your patio feel a bit more private and cozy once the real leaves start falling.
Promising review: "We love this privacy screen! We wanted a bit of privacy from our neighbors when we're sitting on our porch, but this product also made our space more cozy. It's also much bigger than expected. I'm thrilled with the purchase." —Stefanie Bass
Get it from Amazon for $48.99+ (available in six sizes).
33. And finally, a three-seater glider porch swing with a large canopy that's bound to be your favorite seat this fall!
Promising review: "This swing looks so beautiful on our front patio. It was so easy to assemble. Directions were clear and easy to follow. I love how the seat is longer so it’s comfortable to sit. The fabric is sturdy and nicely made. I am seriously thinking about purchasing one for the backyard to replace my other one. I definitely recommend this swing." —Tammy
Get it from Amazon for $119.99 (available in five colors).
