Things to do when bored in quarantine
Perfect your home coffee or tea game
This past year, it’s been a lot of fun learning how to step up my home coffee game. I like my homemade cinnamon latte even more than my local coffee shop. I invested in an espresso maker, which takes minimal counterspace in my small kitchen.
I’ve also started learning how to make matcha tea at home. I didn’t realize how easy it was to whisk up a delicious matcha green tea latte. I grabbed this matcha tea set which has been a game-changer for my morning routine.
Enjoy tasty snacks from around the world from Universal Yums
One of the best parts about traveling is trying different foods. If you are unable to travel right now, considering signing up for Universal Yums.

What’s in each box? Each box includes a variety of sweet and salty snacks that are specially brought in from a different country every month. It also includes a free booklet that guides your adventure with trivia, recipes and other surprises.

Have an indoor picnic
There’s something so inviting about laying down a blanket and unpacking a picnic basket full of delicious goodies. You don’t have worry about creating the perfect spread of food, even some simple sandwiches or your favorite take-out will be tasty.
Instead of having it outside, you can bring the picnic indoors. Create a theme to make it exciting, such as Mexican food or party appetizers. This can be a fun thing to do at home when you’re bored.
Try a new recipe
Sometimes I get into a rut where it feels like I’m cooking the same thing for dinner every night. To mix things up, I recommend trying a new recipe. Search for ideas on Pinterest or pull out your favorite cookbook to get inspired.
Some of my favorite cookbooks include:
Bake your favorite dessert
There’s nothing like the smell of freshly baked dessert. I love watching baking shows on TV and always get inspired to learn how to become a better baker. Some of my favorite things to bake include chocolate cream pie, banana bread, and brownies.
This can also be a fun thing to do at home for kids. Get them involved by teaching them fractions, ratios, measurements and more when baking.
Decorate a cake or cupcakes
I’ve always been inspired by the beautiful cake creations on the TV baking shows. They make it look so easy! I recently bought some cake decorating supplies so I can learn how to decorate my own cakes at home. It’s a lot of fun and tasty for everyone to eat.
Try Hello Fresh for the week
Take a break from trying to figure out what’s for dinner every night. Instead, try Hello Fresh. This meal kit delivery is perfect for those busy weeks and make for a fun thing to do at home.
I’ve used Hello Fresh in the past and love how easy it is to put together a delicious and healthy meal. To get started, all you have to do is pick your plan (quick meals, family meals, or vegetarian meals). You can also select the number of people in your household (2-4 people).
Then you’ll get fresh ingredients delivered straight to your door for the week. Your Hello Fresh box includes simple step-by-step recipes complete with nutritional information and fresh, pre-measured ingredients to help you put together a delicious meal in no time.
Create a meal plan for your family
If using a meal kit delivery is not for you, try creating a meal plan for your family instead. You can download a copy of my free printable to help you get started.
This is the easiest way to save money on groceries and dining out. Spend one night per week planning the meals you want to make for the next seven days.
Lately, I’ve been using my Instant Pot to plan quick and easy dinners. It’s been a huge time-saver.

Make your favorite cocktail (or mocktail)
Cocktails at restaurants can be quite expense. Instead, learn how to make your favorite cocktail or mocktail at home. Some of my favorite drinks to make include margaritas, mojitos, and hurricanes. This can be a fun activity to do at home for adults.
Another great idea is to check out Saloonbox. They send curated cocktails delivered straight to your door. Each box includes four cocktails, top shelf spirits, ingredients and recipe cards. Sometimes Saloonbox will even throw in a free bar tool, which is nice.
Have a themed dinner party
Instead of going out to a restaurant, why not enjoy a fabulous dinner party in the comfort of your own home? Dinner parties can be a lot of fun. Get creative by making it a themed dinner party. Some ideas include:
- Choose your favorite ethnic food (Thai, Chinese, Indian, Mexican, Japanese, and so on)
- Holiday food (Valentine’s Day, Christmas, Thanksgiving, St. Patrick’s Day, and so on)
- Food from movies, such as Harry Potter’s butter beer
- Vegan dinner party
- Potluck (have everyone bring over their favorite dish)
Have a BBQ
A BBQ is a fun activity to do during the warmer months. You can cook up your favorite BBQ food and eat outside (or inside). Some of the best things to cook on the BBQ include skewers, veggies, burgers, hot dogs, and peaches (hello grilled peach salsa).
My boyfriend and I bought our first BBQ grill last summer and had so much fun grilling different foods.
PRO TIP: If you love grilling food, consider signing up for a monthly subscription to Grill Master Club. Each month, you’ll receive top shelf BBQ products, such as sauces, rubs, wood chips, and a surprise accessory. You can learn more here.
Have an at-home book retreat
I love curling up under the blanket with a cup of tea and a good book. This can be a nice way to relax and unwind. You can download them on your e-reader device or grab a copy of your favorite books.
Some books I’ve enjoyed reading lately include:
- How to do the work: Recognize your patterns, heal from your past, and create your self
- Atomic Habits: An easy & proven way to build good habits & break bad ones
- You are a Badass: How to stop doubting your greatness and start living an awesome life
Have an afternoon tea party
Going to High Tea can be expensive. A better idea is to host your own afternoon tea party at home. Make a batch of scones, serve finger sandwiches and brew a pot of your favorite tea. You can invite friends and even ask them to dress up like they are going to a proper High Tea.
Things to do when bored for girls
At-home spa day
What activities can I do when I’m bored? One of my favorite ways to beat boredom is to have an at-home spa day.
Skip the expensive spas and relax at home. First, you’ll want to set the mood with calming music and nice lighting. Put on a diffuser or light a candle to create a relaxing atmosphere.
Then you can give yourself a facial, a hand mask, a hair treatment, or take an aromatherapy bubble bath. This is one of the best things to do alone when you need some quiet time.
Many spas and salons are currently closed here in Toronto. To give myself the royal treatment at home, I bought this affordable spa foot bath. It feels so nice to unwind at home with this vibrating and massaging foot bath.
I also recently bought a gel nail polish kit so I can give myself a gel manicure at home. It’s so easy to use and I save so much money by not going to the nail salon anymore.
Practice doing nail art
Nail art is really popular today and there are so many pretty designs you can do. Lately I’ve been watching tutorials on YouTube to learn how to do my own nail art. It definitely takes practice, but it’s so rewarding.
Give yourself a manicure
Whether you’re trying to save money or you’re too busy to visit the nail salon, an at-home manicure can be a real treat. I rarely go to the nail salon and prefer to paint my nails at home. It’s relaxing while watching a movie or a nice way to unwind after a long day.
Give yourself a pedicure
If you have time, I also recommend giving yourself an at-home pedicure. I like to soak my feet in a warm bath first. This is the perfect time to try a new face mask as well.
Upgrade your skincare routine
A proper skin care routine can help you treat wrinkles, prevent acne, and keep your skin glowing.
Start by washing your face with a gentle cleanser, then apply a pore reducer face mask.
Apply an exfolianting toner and hydrating moisturizer. I also like to use an anti-aging face roller to rejuvenate my skin.
Things to do when you’re bored for kids
Make slime
This can be a fun way to keep the kids entertained for hours. You can find recipes for homemade slime online or consider grabbing a slime making kit for kids.
Build a fort
Get creative with cardboard boxes, pillows, blankets, and chairs. Use these items to build a fort where the kids can climb inside. Add some stuffed animals and fairy lights to make it special.
Build an obstacle course
This can be a great activity for kids when they’re bored. You can build an indoor or outdoor obstacle course, which helps keep the kids engaged and active.
Ideas include moving over or under things, hopping on one foot, jumping, rolling around, hanging from a bar, and so on. This can be good for developing their essential mortor skills.
Stuck for ideas? Consider grabbing an obstacle course for kids like this Ninja Warrior one or this one.
Play dress up
Kids love playing dressing up and it’s a fun activity to do when you’re bored at home. Playing dress up is a form of imaginative play, which helps boost their problem-solving skills.
When I was growing up, my mom had a bin full of Halloween costumes for my sister and I to use when playing dress up. It was always so much fun!
Indoor camping
This is always a fun activity to do at home with kids. My sister and I used to have an indoor camping tent that we set up in the living room. It made for a lot of good memories.
Indoor bowling
A fun way to pass the time at home is to do indoor bowling. This activity is great for both kids and adults. All you need is a simple indoor bowling set like this and the bowler with the best score wins a prize!
Things to do when bored for guys
Step up your poker game
Poker is one of the best games to play when you’re bored at home. It actually involves quite a bit of skill and there’s always new strategies to learn. Whether you play for money, with friends or online, this can be a great way to pass the time.
Play chess
After watching The Queen’s Gambit on Netflix, my boyfriend and I got really into chess. Of course you can play on the computer, but the best way to play is in person with a friend or family member. The wooden chess boards are my favorite.
If you really want to step up your chess game, consider getting a strategy book to help you master the basics and more advanced moves. Chess can be one of the best hobbies for men or women.
Listen to your favorite music on vinyl
Vinyl is having a big moment right now, which has inspired many people to start collecting records. There’s just something so nice about listening to your favorite song on vinyl — it really sounds better than digital music.
I recently got a record player to listen to some of my parents old records. Plus it’s fun to hunt for hidden gems at my local record store.
Boxing
Boxing is one of the best martial arts for both guys and girls. It’s a great way to learn strategy moves, increase your strength and build confidence.
My boyfriend and I recently picked up some boxing gloves for a new workout program we’ve been following. It’s been a game-changer for my fitness routine.
Wood carving and whittling
Whittling is one of the best at-home hobbies and can be a great pastime for guys who want to craft something. You can get started with a simple whittling carving kit and turn a piece of wood into useable art.
Things to do when bored at night
Stargazing
I went to my first dark sky park in 2106 at Dead Horse Point State Park. It was absolutely amazing to see all the stars light up the night sky.
You can go stargazing in your backyard or visit a dark sky viewing area near you. Just grab a pair of binoculars to see the stars close up.
Journal
Studies have shown that journaling at night can help reduce bedtime stress and worry. Getting into the habit of journaling before bed can also improve sleep quality.
I recently picked up this cute journal to write in each night. There are many journal prompts you can find online to help get you inspired.
Meditate
Meditating at night can help calm the mind and body. I recently started learning about the benefits of using an acupressure mat.
After you do your normal bedtime routine, you can lay out your mat. It can be in bed or on the floor. While laying on the mat, close your eyes and focus on your breathing. Using an acurpressure mat can relax your mind and help you sleep better.
Things to get your life in order

To help you get started, you can follow my easy step-by-step guide here to help you build a capsule wardrobe.
Declutter your finances
Now is good time to make a list of your all your monthly expenses. This includes memberships, subscriptions, cell phone, cable TV, streaming services, discretionary spending (beauty, dining out, entertain) and so on.
Ask yourself what you can reduce or eliminate from your monthly spending. For example, we moved into our new apartment, we decided to cut cable TV. This has saved us so much money in the past couple of years.

Start a new fitness routine
I recently started a new fitness routine which has helped give me more energy and improved my mental health. If you’re looking for at-home fitness ideas, consider getting a spin bike.
I saved up money to buy one last year and it’s the best decision I’ve made. I bought the Keiser M3i spin bike, which is commerical grade quality and built to last. It’s super quiet so I don’t have to worry about waking up anyone when I do my morning workout. I’ve lost 15 lbs since I started spinning on a regular basis.
Wash your bedding
There’s nothing like sliding into freshly washed bed sheets. We try to wash ours every weekend.
I’ve been using Nellie’s Laundry Soda lately and really love it. It’s gentle on our bedding, towels and clothes.
Make homemade cleaners
I’ve been trying to use more natural products in the home. This includes switching to a natural laundry soap, using a natural deodorant, and making my own all-purpose cleaners. I bought a few spray bottles to store my homemade cleaners.
Just in case you’re interested, here is the recipe for my favorite all-purpose cleaner:
- 1 cup distilled water
- 2 tablespoons Castile soap
- 10-15 drops tea tree oil
- 10-15 drops lemon oil
Organize and clean your kitchen
For us, the kitchen is the heart of our home. We love working as a team to create healthy meals and it’s a place where we like to entertain. Spend a morning or afternoon decluttering your kitchen and getting things organized. Sell or get rid of kitchen supplies you no longer use.
Rearrange furniture in a room
It’s easy to get into a rut and feel like you want to redecorate your whole house. Instead of buying new stuff, why not rearrange furniture you already have. Put the couch in a new position. Hang photos in a different spot. You’ll be surprised how easy it can be to refresh your place with just a few adjustments.
Finish a house project
Use this time as an opportunity to complete a house project. This can help you feel productive and can be a fun thing to do at home. Some ideas include:

- Organizing your junk drawer (we all have one!)
- Regrout the shower
- Deep clean your home

Yoga Download currently has a TrustScore of 4.7/5 on Trust Pilot, making them one of the highest rated online yoga programs. With new classes being added each week, now is the perfect time to give yoga a try. You can learn more about Yoga Download here.
Catch up on sleep
Sometimes when we’re bored, it means that we’re really tired and need to catch up on sleeop. Take a quick 10-20 minute nap or go to bed early to feel rejuvinated and refreshed.
Relax before bed with a hot bath or a good book. Turn off all electronics and sip on a cup of herbal tea. You may also want to use some essential oils to help you sleep, if needed.
I recently treated myself to some luxury pillows. They have made a huge difference in the quality of my sleep. I also like using a sleep mask and ear plugs to help me sleep better at night.
Learn a new skill
Learning a new hobby or skill can be a lot of fun. Some ideas include cooking, art, dance, a new language, archery, and so on.
