The nights are drawing in, the weather is getting colder and that is a sign that the best months of the year are literally on our doorstep. To be honest I’m that really annoying person that literally as soon as my birthday ends (the 25th August) I’m ready for fluffy jumpers, colder weather, blankets everywhere, candles burning duvet days galore and to just curl up in bed and binge watch all of my favourite things. So with that being said what are the things for the ultimate cosy evening?
1. Duvets and Blankets
Let’s be honest we all know that I’m the kind of person that would want to build a duvet and blanket fort, hide in it or under it and never come out. Personally it would be an absolute dream come true to hide in a duvet and blanket fort, and on the colder days, when it is raining outside, curling up in duvets and blankets are the best things in the world!
2. Hot Drinks
I have been drinking a hell of a lot of coffee lately, I mean more than normal, but when I’m planning on having a cosy day to myself, I’m determined to have a steady supply of hot drinks, mainly coffee, tea and hot chocolate, I’m covering all the bases!
3. Fairy Lights
I love having fairy lights everywhere, having them twinkle and flicker, it’s like internally my mind is preparing me for Christmas with all the festive Christmas lights. But having fairy lights on while you’re laying down is so calming and relaxing!
4. Candles
I’m a sucker for a candle that smells amazing that is also vegan friendly and having candles dotted around the place burning, releasing all the calming scents, I’m totally all about that, and I really really love fruity scents, I find them the most calming, and the most appealing, although if I have one that smells like cake or anything super sweet then I’m also in a different kind of heaven!
5. Netflix
We all know that I’m a massive sucker for Netflix, I mean the amount I talk about Netflix I should probably have shares or something in it! I’ve actually got a few posts on my blog all about my current favourites when it comes to Netflix (6 Netflix Favourites & 6 Bingeworthy Box Sets) and I’m pretty sure that there is something for everyone on there. The amount of amazing shows on there including movies is incredible!
6. Pyjama’s
There is literally nothing more comfortable than pj’s, however curling up in the most comfy pj’s with all my favourite things has definitely got to be the best thing ever. If I could live in my pj’s then I probably would mainly because I feel like the PJ life is the best kind.
7. Snacks
Snacks are always needed, from some chocolate (yes Vego bars) to popcorn to crisps to some fruit too, I mean if you’re having a cosy evening without snacks, what is happening?! We all need some delicious snacks eseppcially if you’re having a super chilled out evening, having all your favourite snacks is literally necessary!
So what are your cosy evening essentials? Let me know in the comments!

I want new fairy lights!! Xx
You need new fairy lights! xxxx
Love cozy evenings hiding in blankets! I actually prefer to wear shorts + a baggy t-shirt and then hide in all the blankets for warmth during fall/winter 😅 And snacks are essential every evening, naturally!
Hope you’re doing well Amie ❤❤
Cosy evenings are the best kind if I’m honest! xxxx
I love your kitty eye mask! How cute! I’d love one of those to stick on whilst I’m having a bath and totally relax. Snacks are a definitely must!
I got it in TKMaxx, and I adore it so much! xxxx
This was my exact day yesterday! I was under a blanket all day except when I was making myself a mint hot chocolate! I loooooove this season for pure comfort!
Rosie
I think we all need days like this sometimes! xxxx
Cosy evenings are to kept secret! Looking for lights now!
Fairy lights are an absolute must! xxxx

These are some great essentials.

They’re the essentials ready for the perfect evening! xxxxx
Well I am all good when it comes to Netflix, candles and blankets but i’ve got nothing else! Not sure i am mentally ready for autumn though! I wish summer was style there. But I am happy to jump to christmas though!
I love Autumn so much, and I know what you mean, when it comes to what to wear it can be an absolute struggle! xxx
I’m more of an autumnal person so I feel really connected with this post. I’ve just discovered your blog but I’m looking forward to your future content.
Erin | oherinx.blogspot.co.uk
Awh thank you so much my darling, that really does means a lot! xxxx
I am definitely a summer person, but I love it when I don’t have to go out in the colder months and am able to get all cosy. Netflix is a perfect accompaniment to the colder nights, I am loving Ozark at the moment but it has taken a bit of getting into.
Have you tried the Wispa gold hot chocolate? It is delicious and perfect for a cosy night in!
Great post, made me want to wrap up, stuff my face and binge watch netflix!
AImsy xoxo
Oooh I haven’t watched Ozark yet, it’s on my list! xxxx
Ooh this sounds like the perfect cosy night in! Pj’s are essential and evenings in aren’t complete without snacks and hot chocolates! If anything I watch too much Netflix though, it’s an addiction haha!
Soph – https://sophhearts.com x
You cannot beat a bit of Netflix though! xxxx
Yesss to everything here! PJ life is the best! Nothing beats getting all comfy with a duvet, snacks, hot drink and watching a series or film. This post has given me all the cosy Autumnal vibes! Thanks for sharing Amie <3 xx

It’s like the ultimate chill time isn’t it?! xxxx
Awwww I love this post! It’s made me more excited for Autumn (even though I didn’t think that was possible) I’ve just bought another blanket tonight for my room and I’m the same I could happily live in a blanket fort! Fairy lights and candles are also a must as well 😊🖤
Blankets are the most comforting thing in the world! xxxx
I love cosy evenings and I pretty much do everything you’ve listed apart from the hot drinks, as I usually only drink water or a diet soda. Oh, and the PJ’s, I prefer to wear an oversized t-shirt nightie. I always get too hot in pyjamas. 🙂 x
It’s all about those cosy vibes, whatever makes you comfortable! xxxx
Couldn’t agree with this more, just makes an evening even more cosy with all these elements! And yes, you definitely need the snacks too haha, popcorn is my go to!xx
Ooooh cannot beat a bit of popcorn! xxxx
I’m so excited for all these things too! I love duvet afternoons with a good hot chocolate and Netflix xx

Me too! It’s the best time of year to do all that things! xxxx
I love all these points. My favourite way to get cosy is to binge watch reality shows based on washed up hiphop artists and women arguing over their men lol it’s a guilty pleasure but it brings me comfort knowing my life is not filled with that much drama! Ooh and snacks, loads and loads of snacks!!
Oooh that sounds amazing! Whatever makes you feel comfortable and you enjoy my darling! xxxx
Hear, hear! I am SO excited for the cosy autumnal evenings! Snacks are an absolute must for me, and I always have Netflix or Amazon Prime on. I’ve been rewatching Line of Duty and This Is Us lately. Autumn is my absolute favourite season and cosy posts like this make me even more excited – you’ve also reminded me to pick up some new scented candles!

I love Amazon Prime! I haven’t watched This Is Us I don’t think, but I’ve heard lots of amazing things! xxxx
I think you might be spirit animal!
Seriously though, so glad I found your blog, you’re clearly as Autumn excitable as I am!!
I definitely need to get some fairy lights up in my house. And more candles 🙂 Do you have any recommendations for good vegan brands?
Thank you so much my lovely! I love a lot of gorgeous fairy lights! I recommend Flamingo candles & some Yankee candles are vegan! xxxx
Yes yes yes, this list sums me up from September-April! Although I still use my blanket in the summer, I just like to be cosy! Netflix, tea and fairy lights are my go to things to do in the evening, I love the autumn/winter months for that. Also gonna check your Netflix recommendations out – I’m always looking for new shows!
Liz xx
I wish I could curl up in my blanket in the summer, I get too warm! xxxx
Ah this is such a lovely post and who doesn’t love snuggly evenings at home watching TV and surrounded by friends and family with good food too! I love it and this is just so pretty!
Wishing you a wonderful gorgeous and can’t wait to see more!

Exactly, I always need to be snuggly in the colder months! xxxx
This list is full of the absolute essentials. I need pyjamas, candles, snacks and Netflix for sure! I love lots of cosy blankets and pillows too. This list has me really excited for my winter hibernation period… x

I love being able to hibernate in the winter! It makes me feel all cosy! xxxx
This is the PERFECT list! I do all of these, with the addition of my teddy bear and my iPad (Although I guess that counts as Netflix, because that’s what I use it for haha)
Jas xx | https://thoughtsfromjasmine.co.uk
Netflix is always necessary, doesn’t matter what you watch it on my lovely! xxx
Yes to all of these! I love been wrapped up in blankets when it gets cooler and hot drinks are a must! xx
Tiffany x http://www.foodandotherloves.co.uk
It’s the most cosy thing in the world isn’t it?! xxx
I second all of these! Speaking of hot chocolate I found a vegan squirty cream in Asda the other day & I actually squealed in the supermarket :’) SO ready for Autumn & Winter now! x x
Ellis // http://www.elliswoolley.co.uk
I’ve got some vegan squirty cream, but my Asda isn’t that great! I’ll have to keep an eye out! xxxxx
Oh yes to all of this! I can’t wait to have a super snuggly autumn.
I love how much there is on Netflix, I could watch it forever and never see the same thing twice!
Cora | http://www.teapartyprincess.co.uk/
Same, Netflix is such an amazing investment! I mean for the price and the amount you get, it’s incredible! xxxx
Yes to all of these! x
http://www.ofbeautyandnothingness.co.uk
It’s the perfect combo isn’t it?! xxx
Yes to all these things! There’s nothing better than cosying up in a blanket with a hot drink. I don’t actually own any fairy lights though – except pumpkins and Christmas tree ones.
You can’t beat fairy lights, they make everything so much better! xxxx
Oooh this has really made me want to curl up on the sofa in front of Netflix with a hot chocolate haha! Our house is always freezing so we actually have a duvet purely for using when we’re on the couch haha! Also I don’t really trust people who don’t put their PJs on as soon as they get in the house – why wouldn’t you want to wear comfy clothes as often as possible!?
Beth x Adventure & Anxiety
I know what you mean my lovely, we don’t have central heating in our house, so having duvets to keep you warm is so important! xxxx
Reading this has made me want a cosy evening in right now! x
Cosy nights in are the best nights! xxxx
This post just describes my perfect evening, I wish I had the time to have one of these more often.
It’s the best kind of evening! xxxx
Candles and blankets are a must!I love a nice hot drink (usually coffee with cream and marshmallows) to snuggle down with. It makes me feel super cosy.

Fairy lights are a definite must have for a cosy evening in – I’ve recently filled my entire new uni room with diary lights to make it cosy! x
Han | lifewithhan.blog
I totally agree and fairy lights literally make everything so much better! xxxx
These are all some great things to have on a cozy night in! I’m so excited for the colder months- literally look forward to them all year haha! xx

Yesss, getting into a cosy bed, or cosy chair, with a hot chocolate, some chocolate snacks, fluffy socks, a book surrounded by fairy lights is my most perfect thing to do on a cold day! Great post! xx
You literally can’t beat fluffy socks! They’re so soft! xxxxx
This list is making me want to have a cosy night in now! I love lots of blankets and snacks, especially anything chocolate. And curling up with a good book is nice too. Thanks for sharing!
Can’t beat a cosy night in to be honest my darling! xxxx

It’s like the ultimate way to relax! xxxx
I cannot wait to move into my new place and have an amazing cozy night! Great post hunny!
Cosy nights are the best nights! xxxx
Curling up in a duvet with a good documentary or series on Netflix is just perfection! Hot chocolates are also perfect for the colder weather and the ultimate warming product.

I would just add cuddles (with your boyfriend/girlfriend or even just your pet or teddy bear!!)
Just a nice cuddly partner and it’s perfect!

Fairy lights and cosy blankets are everything! xxxx
Ahh I definitely need to get some fairy lights! I’m with you all the way with this post – nothing beats snacks, duvet, tea, pjs and Netflix. Bring on the weekend! Great post.
Get those fairy lights and have the best cosy evening! xxxx
Totally agree, I mean what evening is a cosy evening without snacks and pjs?!
