Welcome Fall: Cozy Gifts for Autumn
Welcome Fall: Cozy Gifts for Autumn
It’s the time of warm colors - and in some states, the start of the cold weather! The season is changing from surfboards and sunglasses to Jack o'Lanterns and pumpkin spice. Trail mix is replaced with apple cider. Road trips and even your daily commute are now planned around scenic routes to admire the changing leaves.
This in-between after summer and before winter is reserved for warmth meant to be shared with your friends and loved ones.
With lots of fun activities to enjoy during autumn, take the opportunity to share joy with the people close to you. You can do this with fall gift baskets! Whether for your employees and clients, or your family and friends, fall gifts are a great way to remind them to unwind and enjoy the coziness of the season!
Events Celebrated in Fall
Day of the Dead
Día de Los Muertos or the Day of the Dead is the colorful Mexican Holiday celebrated to remember loved ones who have already passed. Pan de Muertos, a sweetened soft bread shaped like a bun and referred to as the Mexican Bread of the Dead, is brought to be shared by the family as time is spent together visiting graves.
Moon Festival
Celebrated since the Shang Dynasty, the Chinese Moon Festival is a day full of light to appreciate the moon in all its glory. Moon Festival altars are decorated with round fresh fruits and food, while colorful lanterns are lit to symbolize the prosperity people are holding onto for the year.
Thanksgiving
One of the most anticipated national holidays, Thanksgiving is celebrated every 4th Thursday of November. It’s the season to meet the family and enjoy a feast together! The time to give thanks for the good things in life - like the company of the people around you.
Activities to Enjoy During the Fall Season
Make Candy Apples
Fresh fruit is always a good idea, and it’s even better when there’s candy involved! Timeless and classic, even dentists prefer candy apples over the stickier, nuggetty chocolates and other candies for Halloween. Just make sure the syrup isn’t too thick! The sugar melts in the mouth quickly, and the kids (and kids at heart) chew longer on the crisp apples.
Spend a day making candy apples and assign kids to syrup-making or apple picking (or buying).
Take a Walk in the Park
Autumn leaves are falling, the cold breeze is blowing. Get your steps in and take a walk in the park with your loved ones! Invite your family or friends to a quiet stroll, or double it as a catch-up session.
Start your Christmas Shopping
Aside from fall gift ideas, this is also the perfect season to start your Christmas shopping! If you haven’t done much shopping yet, your deadline is looming, and you can take advantage of all the pre-Black Friday sales coming up this season. And sometimes, the comfort of fall also helps you think of the perfect gifts to get!
Enjoy S’mores
The cold weather doesn’t have to chill your soul! Make things warm as you and your family and friends enjoy some good old s’mores over a campfire or a fire pit at home. Talk the time away as you enjoy the blessing of being with each other through the years.
Create a Fall Gift Basket
Fall is harvest time. It’s also the season for thanksgiving! Join the fun, purchase local products, and look for a gift basket idea you can give to your family and friends. Fill it with fresh apples, brownies, apple cider, chocolates, and even wine to spice things up!
Create Wreaths
The color of fall will never go out of style. The browns and warm oranges are perfect to decorate your place for the season. Gather the family and create your wreath from flowers, leaves, sticks, and even nuts, whichever you can find in your backyard. Once complete, place the wreath in front of the main door, the classic style of the Fall season!
