With summer quickly fading away, it’s sadly now time to put away the sandals, raise the top back up on the convertible, and start putting away the grill. Fall is arguably one of the most beautiful seasons, but there is no question that is also slower paced, less temperate and generally less engaging.
Thankfully there are plenty of toys that will keep us occupied no matter how dreary things get after the leaves change. Here’s some of the best we’ve seen most recently.
Amazon Kindle Fire
Hot off the presses, the Amazon Kindle series is quickly becoming our favorite tablets to choose from. Let’s be serious, as these things are far from being laptop replacements and are still, in essence, media consumption devices. And who else is better at delivering books, music and movies but this shopping giant? The Fire is easy to hold, incredibly fast, surprisingly affordable, and a huge step up from the original black and white Kindles. While Apple is still the leader in terms of revenue, we have to voice our opinion that this device will probably have the widest appeal for people of all ages and lifestyles. www.amazon.com
Porsche 909 Pipe
Yes, smoking is bad for you. And when it’s hot outside, it can be really gross. But if you’re taking a stroll in the countryside, surveying the golden landscape, puffing on a pipe will bring so much more to the experience. Perhaps any old pipe will do, but we especially like this one by Porsche, which brings a sleek modern look and feel to the classic shape, and will definitely draw attention from enthusiasts and novices alike. www.porsche-design.com
Camera: Canon EOS 7D
We did say that fall is often one of the most beautiful seasons to capture on film, yes? Well then a brand new DSLR will be an essential tool, and the right step up from the point-and-shoot cameras you have been using on your summer adventures. Take the time to pick the best lens, position the camera on a tripod to get the right composition, and wait for the right moment to take a high-resolution picture that shames all lesser megapixels. You can even shoot HD movies on these too. www.canon.com
Barbour Steve McQueen Rexton
Autumn, for men, is all about the jacket. Forget trying to show off your hard earned body in muscle shirts, or drawing attention to your tan. This limited edition Barbour jacket, inspired by movie legend Steve McQueen is the coolest jacket out there that will not only make you stand out, but will also keep you comfortable and warm. Whether or not you’re a racer, you will definitely finish first in all your endeavors while wearing this. www.barbour.com
Sony Personal 3D Viewer
Fall is the time men will begin the process of hibernation, slowly gathering things to get them through the doldrums of winter. Getting a new, bigger, TV is a fairly common tactic, but why not change it up a bit? In terms of innovation, we haven’t seen anything as appealing as the new Sony head mounted display, which immerses you in surround sound and a floating 150” (2D/3D) screen. Watch movies, sports, play video games, in complete privacy. Best way to block out the world, if you ask us. www.store.sony.com
Wacom Inkling
Now this is cool. Ever feel like you can’t get the accuracy you want out of tablets, yet also find that getting paper drawings into the computer is a chore? Well this nifty gadget tracks your every pen stroke as you draw on paper, and sends a perfect replication to the computer. What better way is there to record all of those spontaneous ideas you will have as you’re being contemplative during the fall months? www.wacom.com
BMW K1600 GTL
If you just can’t stay indoors this season, then give yourself a chance to go on the road. This luxury motorcycle was created for enduring long distances, enhanced durability, incredible handling, and is hands down the touring bike of choice. Customize it to your specific needs, and keep turning head for hundreds and hundreds of miles. Bring all of the other items on this list, and you may never resent fall ever again. www.bmwmotorcycles.com
