10 Indoor Activities to Help You De-stress

Looking for craft kits to help you de-stress? Whether you’ve been stuck indoors for a while thanks to lockdown, or you’re looking for new ways to wind down and relax after a busy week, we certainly know how you feel. 

With life stresses going on, it’s incredibly important to look after your body and mind. We all know diet and exercise contribute towards living a more healthy lifestyle, but until recently, people never had time to take up new hobbies, especially when looking for things to do in lockdown. 

Hobbies are really important not only for your wellbeing but for your identity. Whilst we all have different passions and skills we want to pursue, what makes you unique is having the desire to do something purely for yourself.  Hobbies don’t only bring happiness but you’ll be surrounded by like-minded people, creating new friendship circles. 

If you’re unsure how to get started with finding indoor activities to help you de-stress, let us introduce you to some of the 10 best indoor activities to do at home you’ll love, which also make for great things to do on a rainy day at home and date night ideas at home too. 

1. Learn how to make candles at home 

One of the easiest ways to turn your home into the most relaxing and atmospheric place is to jump on board with candle making kits. When you learn how to make your own candles, you can decide what size they are, what type of wax you use and complete it with your favourite scents. 

Our online candle making classes include your very own candle making kits, so you won’t need to leave the comfort of your own home. Our British candle experts will teach you absolutely everything you need to know about making your very own candles so you can continue the hobby long after the class is over. 

2. Take an online pottery class 

Pottery classes are so popular right now, and it’s no wonder, because with a few simple tools and a chunk of clay you can transform your very own home into a beautiful space filled with your very own homemade pottery. When you take one of our online pottery classes, you’ll receive a pottery kit to your front door before the class starts. The beauty of clay hand building is that you don’t need a pottery wheel at home, all you need is clay and a fantastic local teacher to show you what to do. Luckily our British pottery expert is on hand to do live demonstrations and answer any questions you have from your favourite armchair. 

3. Have fun at a painting class online 

Whether you’ve immersed yourself into the paint and sip trend yet, it’s all about having fun rather than taking it seriously. Relax with a glass of wine while you attempt to paint a rendition of a famous painting, you have a glass of vino on the other hand. We’ll deliver your paint and sip kit to your front door so you’ll have the paints and materials ready to start the live online class. 

4. Make your own DIY terrarium

We all love plants, and building your own little jungle at home can bring so many benefits to living a happier and calming life. But it can be difficult to maintain your plants especially as you have to remember when to water them. With a terrarium you only have to water them once a month or so because of their greenhouse-esque structures. With our online terrarium class, you’ll not only learn how to make a terrarium, you’ll be able to create your own design. We’ll send you a DIY terrarium kit so you don’t need to source anything!

5. Learn how to do calligraphy 

If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to write calligraphy, now is the time to take control and start a beautiful new hobby. The relaxing nature of calligraphy has proven to be a popular hobby in England currently, and you can easily learn from home too. When you choose your online calligraphy class, we’ll send you a calligraphy kit so you’ll have everything you need to join the online class. 

6. Try online flower arranging classes

We’ve all had moments of buying flowers and being disappointed when they don’t look as good arranged in a vase at home. Take a moment out for yourself and learn the art of our flower arranging classes. You’ll be able to make a simple bunch of flowers look like they’re worth so much more! We’ll bring all of the materials you need to take a floristry workshop to your home so you can participate in a class.

7. Find easy cocktails to make at home

Thought you had to go to a swanky cocktail bar to have a cocktail? In our virtual cocktail making classes you will learn how to make delicious cocktails right in the comfort of your own home. We’ll bring you a cocktail making kit so you’ll be ready to learn how to shake and pour incredible cocktails from our live-streaming cocktail making classes!

8. Take a cooking class online

Ae you sick of eating the same meals day in and day out? Whilst we can easily get stuck in a routine of eating the same foods, it’s good to mix things up. If you’re spending a lot of time at home, try a cooking class online. It’s not only really good for you to be more conscious of the foods you’re eating, but cooking is actually proven to be really beneficial for your mental health too! You’ll receive a cooking kit from us before the class starts so you can get ready to make an amazing dinner. 

9. Take up watercolour painting for beginners

Watercolour painting for beginners is a fantastic way to de-stress after a long day. If you’re new to watercolour painting, join one of our beginner classes to help you learn how to paint beautifully like our expert British teacher. We’ll send you a watercolour kit before the class starts so you can settle in and learn from some of the best watercolour experts in your local area. 

10. Learn how to make your own pasta 

Italian food is one of the British favourite cuisines and although we all love a good spag bol, you can now learn how to make your very own pasta to go with it. Although you might think making your own pasta might be a bit tricky, we’re going to show you how to make pasta at home. We’ll deliver all of the materials to your home and when you log on to the live online class, the teacher will show you step by step how to make your own homemade pasta! 

We hope some of our indoor activities will help you de-stress and help you take time out to do things you love.
