The chill in the air, the crisp leaves falling in the breeze, and it’s the perfect time for romance. In honor of the first day of fall, we’ve compiled a list of 20 ideas to help you “fall” in love – for the first time or again!
- Take a drive through the country to view the wondrous colors of fall. Bring along a picnic lunch and stop amongst the fall beauty. Check out the Foliage Network before you go for updates on fall’s splendor.Â
- Give her a beautiful potted harvest mum — or several pots, all different colors.
- Surprise him with a sexy Halloween costume in the bedroom — even if it’s not Halloween night.
- Give her a bouquet of colorful fallen leaves wrapped in tissue paper with a note that says “I ‘fall’ in love with you more each day.”
- Visit a pumpkin patch — bundle up, sip cider, take a hay ride, and pick the perfect pumpkin.
- After you’ve picked your pumpkin, spend an afternoon roasting pumpkin seeds and baking a homemade pumpkin pie — which you can then feed to one another by candle light.
- Don’t like pumpkin pie? Try a pumpkin cheesecake! Harry & David’s sells a pumpkin chocolate cheesecake (remember, chocolate is an aphrodisiac) that you can savor together.
- Visit an apple orchard — pick apples together, then spend an afternoon in the kitchen baking a sweet apple pie together.Â
- Order a beautiful fall bouquet full of sunset roses or peruvian lillies.
- Fall = Football. Surprise him during his big game with these delicious, hand-dipped, chocolate covered strawberries!
- Men – there’s no gift more romantic than a hand-crafted one. Try your hand at creating this small fall foilage bouquet for her. Add a black sharpie to your supplies list and write (gently!) a short love message on the backs of the leaves.
- If you’re feeling especially crafty, create an entire bouquet of roses made completely from gorgeous maple leaves! These hand made roses are simply incredible (and free at that)!
- You’ve no doubt heard that food is the way to a man’s heart. Find a maple or oak leaf cookie cutter and bake a batch of sugar cookies, then add a layer of icing tinted to various shades of reds, yellows, oranges, greens, and browns.
- Frolic like kids through the falling leaves.
- Look through Google’s image search for the perfect autumn leaves picture and change his/her computer desktop to reflect the season.
- Skip out of work early and spend the afternoon all warm and cozy in bed together.
- Spend a saturday afternoon at a Harvest festival.
- Pick up some fresh harvest foods at the above festival, then feast on them by candle light together.
- If you want to get away, spend the weekend at a B&B in the northeast, complete with fireplace. Check out BedAndBreakfast.com to find your perfect weekend getaway.
- Head to a national park or forest and spend the day hiking, taking in the scenery and all of autumn’s true beauty.
