To create a cosy atmosphere at home, start by setting the vibe right. Transform your home with hygge home decor such as cosy blankets, ambient lighting or lamps and scented candles. Enhance your mood with a relaxing scent with an essential oil diffuser and add some indoor plants for a calming aesthetic. You can even shop for fleece blankets and a phone-operated LED light for the ultimate experience.
Upgrade your home comfort game with comfortable loungewear that's stylish yet ready-to-lounge-in comfy. Opt for breathable fabrics like cotton or linen and invest in eco-friendly, consciously made trendy co-ord sets for a breezy day.
Indoor activities can make or break your day at home. Whether you're planning a movie marathon, indulging in indoor hobby ideas or exploring sun-free activities for couples, you can plan for it all in advance so you can have a hassle-free weekend. Check up all the streaming service guides and shortlist your picks for a movie night and order blue light glasses to protect your eyes during the binge-watch session. Elevate your movie-watching experience with gourmet snack boxes consisting of your favourites like popcorn, candies, beverages and more.
For book lovers, start by turning a corner of your home into a cosy reading nook with plush pillows and blankets and have your favourite novel paperbacks or an e-reader handy. We also recommend checking book recommendations if you wish to pick up a new book.
If you are big on games night, order strategic board games for adults or build a puzzle collection that you can revisit on such days. You can even invest in DIY project kits or order craft supplies for adults such as adult colouring books that aren't just relaxing but also get your creative juices flowing.
If you are feeling adventurous, attempt a digital detox weekend away from screens to rejuvenate your mind and body. You can order some unplugged weekend essentials to make these two days even better. A yoga mat, meditation guides, a DIY spa kit and even picking easy yet new musical instruments for beginners are great to get you started.
If you can, make some time to self-respect by journaling your thoughts and feelings. If you are new on this journey, stock up on journaling supplies to get you excited about it and stationery always makes for the ultimate self-care essentials.
