Autumn represents change—mood changes, cooler nights, and darker mornings, maybe even the start of new goals and resolutions. But somehow this season of change feels oh-so-familiar, and we often forget to slow down through the busyness of it all.

We put together a list of ideas for creating new Autumn memories with your significant other. So you can combat the mood changes and enjoy the beginning of festivities, nostalgic memories, and traditions—what Autumn truly represents.

“I hope I can be the autumn leaf, who looked at the sky and lived. And when it was time to leave, gracefully it knew life was a gift.” - Dodinsky

1. CREATE A CARE PACKAGE FOR YOUR PARTNER 

There's nothing better than receiving a surprise gift simply because someone loves you... when you're completely not expecting it. Include a handwritten letter or card, favorite foods and homemade baked treats, gift cards, tickets, books, pictures, and other favorites.

Present the care package and their favorite homemade meal, remove all distractions, and be in the moment. It will put a smile on your partner's face and warm their heart.

2. SEND A PERSONALIZED VIDEO

Create a short video of yourself expressing your love and appreciation of your partner and why. Don't forget to include funny moments, best memories, and what you're looking forward to in the future. 

This will work like a charm, especially if you are long-distance partners. It's something they can watch over and over and cherish for their whole lives.

3. GIVE AN UNEXPECTED GIFT

Express your love and gratitude towards your partner by surprising them with a gift they have been eyeing, or something that you know they will love. Women typically carry their essentials around, so a bag would be a no-brainer. 

This Belvedere Commuter Tote by MAIKA double-duties as both a tote and crossbody bag. Compact yet packs a ton. Its thoughtfully designed features will make it her best on-the-go bag! Perfect for work and daily life. 

"I saw this bag in the Seattle airport but didn’t buy it. Thought about it for weeks. Found it here and have no regrets. Great price for such a stunning practical piece." - Kathleen

4. CREATE A DATE NIGHT AT HOME

Date nights at home are easy and hugely romantic when you create the right atmosphere. 

Start with decorating your home (or bedroom 😉 ) with special romantic touches. Think aromatic candles, wine, rose petals, etc. Make the date extra special by planning it out. Will it be a romantic home spa night? Travel-inspired theme dinner? Pretend drive-in movie - in the backyard?

5. FIND A MUTUAL HOBBY

Find that particular hobby that you both take interest in and do it - be it something to do with music, adventure, or something a little bit more mundane like taking morning walks together. Create a habit of spending quality time together through that particular hobby.
