Sadly, most of the US is currently in the throes of Fake Fall. Let me say it: 75-degree temperatures are not the vibe at the pumpkin patch, and the first PSL of the season should not have to be iced! Yet real winter will be here sooner than you think, along with a massive dip in temperatures, waning sunlight, and the potential for inclement weather. Amazon's October Prime Day is your last chance to get ahead and grab all the cold-weather gear you'll need to stay warm for cheap, from slippers and blankets to thermostats and fire pits.

A Cozy Candle for Less
Yankee Candle is not featured in our guide to the Best Scented Candles. In fact, some of my coworkers may have even gone so far as to call this brand cheugy. But last month I was at a mall, and I happened to walk by a Yankee Candle store, and I am here to defend Yankee Candle's dignity. I bought not one but three candles that day, and I will tell you the ’90s favorite has still got it.
