10 Inexpensive Night In Ideas

   1. Hot Chocolate and ''Autumn In New York'' This is my ultimate Richard Gere movie (after ''Pretty Lady'' of course) I do think it's quite girly though, so maybe pick a night where your partner is away for a guys poker night...also you might cry, which can get embarrassing :D

   2. DIY - It's not for everyone :D But hey give it a try. You know you've always wanted to try out those galaxy nails you saw on Pinterest :D

   3. Read a book...when was actually the last time you read one.

   4. Cook with the other half ( if you're single invite a friend over) chop, fry, mix and knead :) just make sure you do it together and later you can enjoy a delicious meal ( unless you're a really bad cook...then this might turn into a ''cook with your partner and then order a pizza'' kind of night )

   5. Bake - Make some cupcakes, home made chocolate chip cookies, apple and cinnamon crumble...just bake. The house will be filled with delicious smells and there is nothing better than a warm crumble on a cold autumn night

   6. Order pizza and watch ''Friends'' with friends. Or meet up with your girlfriends, make loads of Manhattan cocktails and watch ''Sex and the City'' Share the cost by telling everyone what to bring :)

   7. Make chocolate truffles. They are so easy to make and you can decorate the with all kinds of different things. Later you can box them up and use them as sweet presents :) If you're not really into chocolate ( You weirdo) then roast some honey covered nuts, pour them in a cone and go for an evening stroll in the beautiful Autumn night. Or just spend your time with making the most perfect cup of hot chocolate

   8. Organise - if you have been planning to do the final clean before Christmas then it's best to divide your duties. One day clean the windows and do the annoying bits and bobs that need doing. But rainy Autumn evenings are best for sorting out the drawers and cupboards. Pack up the summer things and get ready for Christmas time. Organise your pantry to make that massive cooking day on the 24th/25th enjoyable. Re-arrange all your make up, your socks and your sweaters :)  

   9. Write your Christmas cards. You know you're going to forget. Take your time and use those golden/silver pens you've had since last Christmas and write beautiful poems in cards for your friends. They will appreciate the effort and wonder where ever did you have time for that :D    

10. Start a new tradition - It may be a yearly thing or just a temporary weekly thing. Watch a series of movies (Harry Potter, Twilight, The Hunger Games) I like to pick the ones that have all the movies out already. Because you don't want to wait a year for the next one to come out...

Hope you found some fun activities for your nights in this Autumn :) Stay tuned for next weeks post, where I will share 10 new traditions to start this year :)
