1. Simmer Pot Magic ✨

Skip the candle aisle—your stove has you covered! Toss in apple slices, orange peels, cinnamon sticks, and a splash of vanilla into a pot of water and let it simmer. The scent will make your home smell like a cozy fall bakery (without the risk of burning cookies).

2. Blanket Basket Upgrade 🧺

Fall is blanket season, but instead of shoving them in a closet, roll them up and place them in a cute basket by your couch or fireplace. Bonus points if you swap out lightweight throws for chunky knits in fall colors. Cozy, stylish, and super functional.

Sure, we love our pumpkin spice lattes, but here’s a twist: sprinkle pumpkin spice into pancake batter, cookie dough, or even your morning oatmeal. A little goes a long way to bring autumn flavors into your everyday meals.

4. Entryway Glow ✨

Boise evenings get darker earlier in the fall, so brighten up your entryway with twinkle lights, lanterns, or battery-powered candles. Not only will it feel welcoming, but it also adds a festive touch when guests stop by.
