From apple picking [1] to pumpkin carving [2], I have a special love for fall activities [3]. They not only give me a reason to be in nature, but they also make for wholesome memories. As much as I love summer, I'll admit there is a certain magic to the first few weeks of fall. It may be the feel of the crisp air or the sight of the changing leaves.
Harry & David [4] currently has some fall gift baskets that will bring that fuzzy autumn feeling right to your doorstep, or that of someone you care about. You'll find pumpkin-dipped strawberries and apple treats among other goodies; prepare to order a basket or two.
