Autumn is here and I am happy for the change in seasons; it is one of my favourite times of year. I enjoy the colours in nature, the comfort foods like stews and casseroles and autumnal fashion.
September is also known for the back-to-school sales and I love stationery shopping at the best of times, but this Autumn I have a really good excuse for buying stationery as I start university this month. I am both excited, yet extremely nervous.
Some people are coming down from that summer high and the Summer memories, but Autumn doesn’t need to be the dreaded month where you do miss the Summer sun. There are so many wonderful things to enjoy about Autumn. I love the cooler, crisp air, autumnal fashion and I drink hot chocolate as I only like to have it in the Autumn and Winter months.

Thank you!
Good luck!
I’m definitely up for drinking all of the hot chocolate ever haha.

Haha! It’s a great time of year to drink lots of it!
Good luck! I’m looking for autumn spots to visit and so many choices but so little time. 🙁
Yeah definitely!
I am looking forward to pumpkin pie and pumpkin muffins. I also can’t wait to go hiking when the leaves change colors.
Hiking seeing the lovely colours would be great!
Good luck with these! I love these seasonal lists to make you remember to do things you can only do in the autumn!
Yeah definitely! Love this time of year
Yay for big scarves and cosy jumpers! Scrapbooking, hot choc, films, and candles sounds like the most perfect day to me. I always love early evening bubble baths and getting all cosy in my pjs and watching TV (then again I do that all year round, ha ha!). Good luck with your Autumn bucket list Lauren, I’d love to give pumpkin carving a try and I can’t wait to go out on a walk and take some cute Autumnal photos too. Thank you for sharing lovely! <3 xx

Yes to hot chocolates! They’re my favourite drink this time of year. I’m also hoping to do some Autumn themed baking and to get to a pumpkin patch!
Oh such fun things! I actually don’t have a list of things I want to do in autumn but this definitely inspired me to make one! xx

I’m looking forward to dressing up for Halloween, it’s not often you can get away with dressing as a unicorn outside the house
Yeah definitely! Sounds like a good costume for Halloween x
Good luck with these! I think I’m going to take your pumpkin one because I never do them and they’re so fun!
Yeah definitely give it a go! I am so rubbish at it though 🙈
Thank you for sharing. Lovely read and some great goals for the month.
Thank you for reading and commenting x
You’re very welcome. X
Great suggestions! I will definitely enjoy long walks and get some automn aroma candles. Hot chocolate also is a must!
I definitely want to have a go at roasting chestnuts — they always smell so good and I want to give them a try. This list is great (I’m going to be adding quite a few to my own list). I’ve not done any knitting for a while so thanks for the reminder!
Now I need to get my slow cooker out and make stew and dumplings. Fun suggestions.
Wow, how fun. So many ideas! Thanks!

Such a great list of activities.
We’ve done some of them, but I still have a lot more I want to tick off.
Visited the pumpkin patch Friday and carving them today.
Love the den one best. We’ve made a lot of them with our little one already.
Thank you for reading and commenting. Can you link your blog?
Last night we booked to go to a pumpkin patch. So excited.
Thank you for reading and commenting.
Fall is my favorite season, and these are fantastic ideas for activities to do! Last year, we went to a pumpkin patch for the first time and then carved the pumpkin, so I definitely want to do that again. Also, I want to make dishes and drinks with pumpkin! I love your suggestions for self-care activities, and I want to read some creepy books and watch some cozy movies.
It sounds like you have some great ideas and plans for autumn this year. I hope you enjoy the season and you get to do everything on your bucket list. Thank you for reading and commenting.
Your list is full autumn perfection! It’s my favorite time of the year!
I hope you enjoy Autumn! Thank you for reading and commenting.
Great ideas, love these suggestions and will share it with my friend. We were talking about it the other day. Thank you for sharing!
Aww thank you so much!
So many great ideas! I did a bucket list a while ago but totally forget about it. I wonder if I’ve managed to tick some things off!

I absolutely love this list of 90 autumn-themed activities! It captures the essence of the season beautifully and offers something for everyone to enjoy during this wonderful time of year.
Your personal connection to autumn, especially with the start of university, adds a relatable touch to the post. It’s a time of change and growth, much like the changing leaves of autumn.
I appreciate how you’ve categorized the activities into different themes, making it easy for readers to find ideas that suit their interests and preferences. Whether it’s family fun, food and drink, adventures in nature, creative pursuits, or self-care, there’s something for everyone.
Your attention to detail is fantastic, such as suggesting specific activities like making cider, knitting, or setting up a daily journal. This adds depth to the list and encourages readers to try new things.
The self-care-themed activities are a great reminder that autumn is not just about outdoor adventures but also a time for reflection and self-nurturing. Your ideas, like watching autumnal-themed movies and lighting scented candles, evoke coziness and comfort.
Overall, this list is a treasure trove of ideas to make the most of the autumn season. It’s a great resource for anyone looking to embrace the beauty and charm of autumn while creating lasting memories. Thanks for sharing these wonderful suggestions! 🍁🎃🍂
Thank you for such a lovely kind comment. Can you link your blog so I can read if you have one?

Great list! Visiting a winery in fall is my go-to fall activity.
Thank you for reading and commenting.
I’ve been seeing people create autumn bucket lists more lately. I think I might give it a try. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you
This is such a great list, I love the idea of sending a self care package to a friend or family member. That’s so wholesome.
