Five fall date ideas for the season of abundance

Love makes every season a little sweeter! Even if you’re starting to dread the thought of cold and cloudy fall days, they don’t seem quite so bad when you imagine your arms wrapped around the one you love. Some might even say there’s no better time for love than the fall! Many universally beloved sights and events take place during the autumn and are perfect for dates. From enjoying a flick under a cozy blanket to weekends in the great outdoors, the season of abundance has something for every couple to enjoy!

Need help crafting some fun this fall? Check out our five favorite seasonal date ideas below!

Pumpkin patch or corn maze

Start the season off with the classics! Take a trip to a local farmstead near you and fill your fall weekend with their rustic charm. Local farms will likely have many of their own unique activities, but the two you can count on almost anywhere are a corn maze and pumpkin patch. Spend the day arm in arm, taking in the sights while searching for the perfect pumpkin for carving or making your way through a corn maze.

Homebodies can recreate the atmosphere with Scentsy’s Farmstead Pumpkin Wax Bar and Harvest Bounty Warmer. Don’t forget to turn on your favorite fall romance movie. If you want to perfect the theme, skip the popcorn and opt for this roasted pumpkin seed recipe for a mid-movie snack!

Haunted house

Another go-to for the spookiest time of the year. There’s likely a bevy of haunted houses to explore in your area, so do your research to find one that fits your budget and time constraints. For obvious reasons, you’ll have the best luck finding these attractions during October. Keep in mind that crowds will likely be much larger on the final weekends leading up to Halloween.

Consider the Gimme Candy Scentsy Bar paired with the Vintage Estate Warmer if you want to recreate the spooky and sweet vibes at home. Pop in your favorite horror movie or a Halloween classic like Hocus Pocus, Casper or Halloweentown. Snack on something sweet to match the energy like a variety of Halloween candies or homemade caramel apples.

Fall hike

There are many sights in the great outdoors that can only be seen during the fall. The changing leaves is the premier attraction for this time of year and can lead to some incredibly colorful moments on a walk or hike. Take some time to snap a couple pictures together and memorialize your time spent among the amazing hues. Finally, a special challenge from us to you: Find the best fallen leaf. Whether it’s the largest, the most colorful or just one that’s uniquely shaped, take some time to find this temporary memento for your partner.

If you’re the type to enjoy the fall colors by looking through your back window, consider the Autumn Sunset Scentsy Bar paired with the Fall Sweet Fall Warmer. Listen to some of your favorite fall music while working on these DIY paper leaf cutout patterns.

Apple picking and desserts

Apple picking season is usually at its peak in September, making for a great early autumn activity. Find an orchard near you and fill up your bag or basket with tons of fresh, local fruits to snack on over the next week or so. Then, after your remaining apples have become extra ripe, turn the rest into some amazing fall treats.

Homemade applesauce and dried apple slices are both great ways to use up large bunches of leftover apples and can be easily frozen for later. If something hot and sweet is needed, this simple apple pie recipe could be the answer!

If you don’t have a nearby orchard or you’re the type to rely on store-bought treats, the Baked Apple Pie Scentsy Bar can replicate the smell at home. Warm it in the Deep Roots Warmer to complete the apple-picking vibes!

Hot cocoa, tea or apple cider tasting

Picking your favorite hot drink this fall can be one of the hardest decisions you make. Of course, you could always go with the obvious choice — pumpkin spice latte for the win — but if the decision isn’t so obvious, do something about it! Find or make some of the best fall drinks and pit them all against each other in the ultimate fall drink taste test. Make a bracket (just like you would for any other tournament) and compare two drinks at a time until you’ve crowned one the ultimate fall drink (just don’t be surprised if it involves pumpkin spice).
