Gifts for the Friend Who Is Autumn—Like, Spiritually

This isn’t someone who likes fall. This is someone who is fall. If she were a drink, she’d be a mulled wine with just a hint of melancholy. She’s had her favorite scarf since college. She reads books she’s already read and still gets the chills. She believes in ghosts—at least a little. These gifts are made for her leafy little soul.

You know her. She owns three journals, but only writes in one—and it’s in fountain pen. She wears a trench coat the first day temps drop below 70. She has a “go-to baguette spot” and insists it’s “not just about the bread—it’s the vibe.” This one’s for the Fall Romantic, the kind of friend who turns October into a mood board and thinks Emily in Paris is just “fine, but a little derivative.”
