14 things to do during a lockdown weekend 

 

Yay, weekend!  But how can you make your weekends fun during lockdown? Here are 14 ideas for you to try. Happy weekend, gorgeous!

1. Organise an online clothes swap with your friends. Each of you selects a number of items that you no longer wear, you put these on and then you take turns showing them to the other participants via Zoom or Teams. A great way to bag yourselves some new clothes and declutter your own wardrobe in one go. It’s a win-win situation!   
2. Make your own red or white wine! A perfect daytime activity, so you can enjoy your homemade wine at night. Have a look on the internet for the best tips, tricks and recipes (or you can even order a wine making kit). Cheers!
3. Make your own twisted candles (check out the DIY here) or embroider your own retro-painting (check out this video for some inspiration). It’s a quick and easy way to spruce up your interior!  
4. Try giving back by donating to a charity of your choice. Helping others will also make you feel good! Did you know that we support a variety of charities?  
5. Take up photography as a hobby. Capture nature pictures of the area around your home or take lovely pictures of your retro interior or your beloved cat.  
6. Try out a new recipe. This Pink Sprinkles cake is the perfect weekend treat.  
7. Let’s get creative, try your hand at drawing or painting. Let yourself be inspired by your favourite vintage prints, clothes or portraits.  
8. Take your dog(s) for a nice walk (and plenty of cuddles along the way). Or, if you don’t own a dog, ask your neighbours if you can ‘borrow’ theirs. 
9. Organise a photoshoot at home with your lover or bestie. Wear your prettiest retro outfits, vintage hairstyle (check out our hairstyling items) and strike a pose! We would love to see your pictures.

10. Make your own greeting cards and send them to your friends, your granny, your friendly neighbour or your co-workers.  
11. Show a piece of old vintage furniture some love by giving it a makeover. In need of a little inspiration? Try Pinterest! The place to be for plenty of fun DIY’s to help you create a gorgeous retro interior.   
12. Buy or rent roller skates and go rollerblading around the block or park. It’s a great way of getting fit while having fun. But make sure you wear protective gear like a helmet and knee pads.
13. Take an online cooking or baking class to improve your culinary skills and unleash your inner domestic goddess. 
14. Last but not least: Online shopping from the comfort of your own home is still a fun thing to do on weekends. Have you already spotted the gorgeous new items in our collection? Have fun shopping!
