A staycation is the perfect time to get all dressed up for a date night, every night. Try a famous dish from a different country for each dinner. Habitually, cooking dinner feels like a chore, but this staycation twist is an entertaining opportunity to show off your skills or a fun-loving way and to dance around the kitchen together! Let your imagination take the reins when you set the table and dress the part to match the country. Time to put on some music and cook up a storm!
Unwind from the daily grind. Take a bath, light some candles and create the perfect setting for a deluxe pamper. Gather all your luxurious products for your special treatment or try homemade spa treatments to take in the moment of ultimate tranquillity. If you’re looking to spend a memorable staycation day with your significant other, throw on your new face masks and have a good laugh. End off by celebrating with a glass of bubbly.
There’s nothing quite like that triumphant feeling when completing a piece of work. DIY projects jump the ranks when it comes to staycation ideas as the challenge explores your relationship while having fun along the way. Strengthen your collaboration skills while creating a special souvenir. Whether it’s a collage to decorate your hallway, ceramic coasters or arty pot plants, the memories will pop up with a smile every time it catches your eye as you pass by.
Put away the electronics and spend some quality time going off the grid. Have a relaxed evening with a series of card games or opt for something more thrilling for those who embrace a challenge. Board games have been top listed for things to do on staycations since the beginning of time. While you exchange straight faces and grins, add some classy hors d’oeuvre appetizers to keep the bluffing going.

Travelling the world from the comfort of your home? It doesn’t get much easier than this. Virtual Reality (VR) lets you sit back and relax on your couch while skipping the lines to explore your favourite attractions. Moreover, VR tourism offers a potential substitute experience that may be extremely advantageous for heritage and preservation. There is an array of apps to download according to your travelling preference. Do bear in mind that tourists can only see the more popular environments, rather than the neighbourhoods in which the nation’s people live, play and evolve.
Read a book, hug your dog, listen to a podcast, do some yoga or master a skill – Do whatever makes you happy. In a rise-and-grind-lifestyle, a staycation is a perfect opportunity to take a step back and revive your health. While having some alone time is crucial, it’s also important to stay productive in the time being. Being alone on your staycation doesn’t mean you need to be lonely. Stay connected with loved ones via video call, or simply send a text of a funny meme. Have virtual dinner dates with your girlfriends or family – it takes a single button to make a call.
If there is one friend that’s more excited about your staycation than you, it’s your pet. No more leaving in the mornings until late afternoon? Do they get to keep you company for the WHOLE day? It’s the time of their lives! No need for doggy daycare, now you can enjoy some fun-loving activities with your furry friend. Adopted a puppy recently? You’re in luck – there is more than enough time for puppy training as well as overloading on the tender love and care.
If you’re unsure about what to do on your holiday from home, take on a significant project that will keep you productive. Renovate a room by picking a new colour palette and theme. Paint the walls yourself and spice up the interior that fits the “revitalised you” after your staycation. A project like this keeps you focused while having fun! So put on some music, karaoke to your favourite songs and let the artsy side of life take over!
