7 DIY Date Ideas For The Best Friend Duo Who Loves Fall & All Things Extra
There are so many endearing qualities about fall. From the changing of the leaves, to the holidays embedded in those months, it's such a lovely time of year. Sitting at home is a definite no-no, and if your BFF is a fall lover too, you're most likely plotting some DIY fall date ideas together, because duh, you two work better together, anyway.
Fall dates could mean wrapping that super cute knitted scarf around your neck, putting on your adorable pair of brown combat boots, and hitting the town. It could also mean putting on that oversized sweater, finding a comfortable place on the couch, and watching a chick flick with some hot cocoa. Don't forget the marshmallows.
