Who else is going a bit stir crazy right about now? Yeah, us too. Being out of work comes with a number of mental and financial challenges, but as a silver lining, it’s also forced us to get incredibly creative when it comes to keeping ourselves busy – all without leaving the house and using the resources on hand.
Turns out there’s only so much Netflix you can watch. And if you had asked us whether we would feel that way three months ago, would have laughed at you. Oh, how times have changed. We’re approaching May and worldwide we’re faced with uncertainty. We don’t know when things will get back to normal, or what normal will even look like after this. Which is why we’re trying to make the best of the situation, and have a little bit of fun while we do our part to flatten the curve and stay inside (please stay inside guys!).
Our stay-at-home bucket list was a hit so we expanded it even further for you guys. A lot further. We got super invested and made a list of 101 things you can do at home. We guarantee there’s something for everyone on this list – from having your own virtual Chopped competition to planning your dream house on Pinterest, making an epic movie night snack mix, making digital drawings with a friend, seeing how fast you can drink a beer and more. And don’t worry, there are some Netflix ideas on there too because we wouldn’t do you dirty.
While this list was made during the coronavirus pandemic, it can also be consulted basically all winter if you live in Canada, on a rainy day or if you’re low on funds and trying to limit spending. What can we say, it’s just a good list to have on hand in general.

There’s no hard and fast way to tackle this list. We recommend keeping it on hand and consulting it whenever you need some inspiration, motivation or just a little guidance when it comes to deciding on something to do. We find it’s helpful to have some sort of routine right now, so perhaps carve out a couple hours each day to insert something fun, and pick something from the list to fill that space. You can of course combine items from the list to make things even more interesting.
The cocktail pairing for this activity? It’s your own creation this time. We encourage you to play bartender and create a new original cocktail recipe. You up for it? If you need inspiration, here’s a link to one of our favourites: the pineapple passionfruit sour. Or you know, this can be the cocktail….
