Fall is here, and it is the perfect time to make the season memorable. Grab your favorite cozy sweater and a warm drink because it is time to check off some fun, easy, and creative fall activities. From crafting autumn-inspired DIYs to filling your home with seasonal scents, this ultimate fall bucket list is full of ways to make your days more festive, your nights cozier, and your home completely autumn-ready.
1. Make a Fall Simmer Pot
Fill your home with the natural aromas of autumn by creating a simmer pot. Combine water, orange slices, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and a few star anise in a small pot on the stove. For an extra boost of fragrance, add a few drops of your favorite oil from our Seasonal Harvest 3-Pack: Salted Caramel, Crisp Air, and Apple Orchard. Let it simmer on low heat and enjoy the warm, cozy scent that fills your home and makes every corner feel inviting and festive.
If you want a smaller, hassle-free option, try creating a mini simmer pot using a Candle Lamp Warmer. Simply place a small bowl with water, spices, and essential oils on the warmer and let the gentle heat fill your home with cozy autumn scents without needing to use the stove.
2. Host a Halloween Movie Marathon
Grab a blanket, your favorite snacks, and settle in for a Halloween movie night. Light or warm your favorite fall-scented candles, like Apple Cider Donut or Chai Tea, to fill your home with cozy autumn aromas. The scent makes the evening feel extra comforting and sets the perfect mood for spooky classics or family-friendly favorites.
3. Make a Signature Fall Perfume Roll-On
Create a personal fall fragrance with a DIY perfume roll-on. Using essential oils from our Seasonal Harvest 3-Pack or other autumn-inspired scents, mix a few drops with a carrier oil to make a compact, easy-to-wear fragrance. It’s a simple and fun project that lets you carry the cozy smells of fall with you. Follow our step-by-step video tutorial to make it even easier and get creative with your favorite autumn scents.
4. Create Boo Baskets
Spread some seasonal cheer with small “boo baskets” for friends, neighbors, or family. Fill them with autumn treats, a cozy candle, or a seasonal room spray like Vanilla Breeze or Spiced Chai to make the gift feel extra festive. It is a simple, thoughtful way to share the spirit of fall and bring a little warmth to someone’s day.
5. Make DIY Autumn Leaves Soap Bars
