A set of wheels and tires dedicated for Winter / snow driving, and having the oem set for spring / summer / fall. Check out Blizzaks. Unless the tires you have are some really good all seasons, your tires will freeze and not get good traction in the winter. I'm from the South though so I'm not an expert on the subject, but think this is worth mentioning first.
Digital tire gauge. Don't get an analog gauge because they lose calibration easily. Check tires often.
12V tire compressor kit.
Sunshade for front windshield.
Legal tints for side and rear glass.
Dyson handheld vacuum. So clean everyday.
Ice melter.
Here's a nice cleaning kit by Meguiar's that costs $25, Amazon link, contains Gold Class soap, wax, applicator pads, microfiber towels, quick detailer, scratch remover, and clay bar. Nice little kit to start you out on getting some nice car detailing supplies. There's also the New car care kit but I prefer the other one, just get your own wash mitt and bucket. But seeing you're in the northeast right now, I guess all this would be pretty useless to you as all the salt and slush you guys are going to get for the next few months.
Lint - free paper towels or toilet paper. Don't bring linty towels in your clean car!
Invisible glass and RainX protectant on windows! And for your inside windows, keep a 100% clean microfiber to dry polish the inside glass to remove any smudges that appear. Keep your glass towels in plastic baggies separately and label them, you don't want them getting mixed in with wax towels.
A microfiber or foam applicator pad is what you should probably use.

Since your just starting out this might be a good kit http://www.amazon.com/Meguiars-G3300-Brilliant-Solutions-Restoration/dp/B004EB12FS/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1407524279&sr=8-13&keywords=meguiars+applicator+pad
Depending on your budget and how much you see washing by hand etc, you might look at /u/TheRagCompany microfibers. They are really liked here, I just got mine and are going to try them out tonight.
Make sure to read up on good technique on the wash and correction so you don't introduce any more scratches etc.
I started with a full wash and clay bar. I then used Meguires Ultimate Compound, Ultimate Polish, and their 'Black Wax'. The kit contained the Gold Class Carnuba Wax but I opted for the 'Black Wax' because it was on sale. http://amzn.com/B004EB12FS. Take a look at the amazon link for the kit I bought. My local Walmart actually had the kit on clearance for $19.00. I followed the instructions on the box as well a refereed to Meguires website and forum before starting.
The paint was starting to turn "old Miata pink" so I knew it was time for a wash!
I bought a Meguiar's paint restoration kit and a wash mit. It looks great, but it was a ton of work to do the whole kit by hand!
While I was polishing off the wax a guy wandered over and told me he goes by "Gay Tony" before offering me his phone number. Hairdresser car!
Since it was Miata Sunday I also put some fresh black paint on the windshield wipers, tightened the throttle cable, and epoxied a bit of plastic that I broke in the footwell last week.
