I love how these are actually hobbies that you do FOR yourself and your own enjoyment. I feel like hobbies nowadays often have to "pay up", e.g. if you don't have an Etsy shop or turning your hobby into a productive thing, you're doing it wrong. When it's so important to have activities that you enjoy just for the sake of doing them. So thank you for these fun tips! :)

I agree. The minute they have to pay to play it turns into a job not a hobby!

I love this video so much 😭🎉 I started the new year by creating a “playroom” for myself. It has library books, coloring books, board games, paint, vinyls, nails polish, my switch, and I just got a Lego flower set. 📚 🎨 👾 I’m literally so proud of myself for being a 29 year old with a playroom 😂😂 Cheers to a cozy year!

Your comment made me so happy! Writing can bring so much peace :)

I love picking up beginner kits from craft stores. Gives me the joy of learning something new without having to buy a ton of new items. The kid's versions are always nice because they tend to be a little simpler which lowers the stress level and really hits that cozy feel.

I'm native american and decided I was going to bead a wildcat medallion in a watercolor style for fun. I listened to your video while I was working and it made me so happy! I love all of your ideas. And you're so right. Regardless of how this translates from my mind to beads, it's so relaxing to focus on the ritual of beading and so rewarding to see it come to life. I hope you make more of these videos encouraging people to focus and relax!

I love this video and idea 🥹💕 I would also recommend: 1. Doing stuff with beads. Weather it's those that can be ironed after completing the pattern or those that you pull on a little wire to create stuff. 2. Puzzles. Simple, classic ☺️ 3. Making preserves - jams, pickles, etc 4. Collecting things - leaves, flowers, cool rocks, shells. Something to connect you to nature. 5. Learning useful stuff - how to sew on a button, how to bake bread, how to make basic repairs around the house. Have fun y'all 💖

1.) Cozy gaming 1:54 2.) Building sets 2:43 3.) Coloring books (and puzzle books) 3:28 4.) Textile crafts (knitting, crocheting, cross stitching, etc) 5:21 5.) Mood boards/vision boards 6:23 6.) Tabletop games/(solo)Board games 7:51 7.) Creative writing 9:30 8.) Magazines (and reading) 11:44 9.) Gem paintings 14:12 Because I searched and didn’t find time stamps so here you go 👆🏽

And if you don't want to use actual supplies, there are lots of coloring apps - great if you have a tablet. When I want to zone out, I put on a podcast and open Happy Color. I also find things like word games and crossword puzzles relaxing - achallenging puzzle can keep me occupied for a while. Oh...and gluebooking! Use a cheap notebook or (or any publication you would normally throw out/recycle - catalogs, brochures, etc.) and glue stuff in it (magazine images, product packaging, paper scraps, etc.). That's it. It doesn't have to be pretty, it doesn't have to make sense, and you don't have to show it to anyone - don't think, just glue. If you are feeling more creative, you can try collaging, which a more intentional combination of images, textures and colors. There's lots of good gluebookers and collagers here on YT if you need some inspiration. 😊

Gilmore girls is so cozy to me. Sweaters, coffee in big mugs, bopping around the small charming town.

I absolutely love the idea of writing and creating my own little world without thinking too hard about it! I've never even thought about it in that way, I've always stopped from writing because I thought I wasn't a writer. So thank you :) I'm going to write a cute story this week

Okay, hear me out: Witchcraft. Carve sigils into scented candles and burn them. Cleanse your space with incense. Collect pretty crystals. Make little spell jars and pouches. Bless gifts for your loved ones. Grow your own herbs for spells. There are so many possibilities to combine it with other hobbies too!

This was a great list! I already love and do most of these! I will some of my other favorite (though admittedly more expensive hobbies) are drawing, bullet journaling, scrapbooking, card making, learning languages, tarot reading and creating miniatures. I think hobbies are so so important and I think everyone should have at least a few hobbies to feel creatively and emotionally fulfilled. Happy Hobbying! 💗

Also one of my fav cozy hobbies: baking! It helps me put my mind on something else when I’m stressed, it makes my apartment smell yummy, and I get to share my treats with others! Win-win!

Sometimes deep cleaning or organizing my home while listening to wholesome audiobooks is cozy for me. Other times, watching bullet journal videos on KZread while sipping a cup of warm tea. Also, almost anything that is on the PickUpLimes channel, just cozy as is. I also love the act of lighting scented candles with a match (that sound can't be replced by anything, soooo cozy to me) and watch them, sipping a cup of cinnamon tea and listening to lofi music. I have 3 cats, it is very cozy to pet them, kiss them, listening them purr and I especially love it when one of them curls up in my arms and falls asleep 🥰🥰 After cleaning our home, I usually turn on dim lights and listen to chill music and just walk around barefoot, that's also a cozy feeling. Whenever I take all my clothes out and say goodby to the ones I haven't ised for so long and I know I never will, and only put the ones back that I am actively using, I feel so cozy and wholesome and free, and fresh. These are my cozy things 😊

Cross-stitch is amazing! Super easy to learn (much easier than knitting or crochet, imo), very inexpensive, and as a bonus, you can so easily translate pixel art from video games into cross-stitch patterns and make yourself gamer wall decor.

I already love some of these hobbies, coloring, knitting, crocheting. During the pandemic I got into jigsaw puzzles!!! Soooo cozy and calming. Highly recommended.

I love magazines! There’s something luxurious about sitting down with a magazine and a coffee, tea, cocktail, and just reading. And it feels so much more relaxing than reading similar information on the internet but that feels limitless, but a magazine has a limited number of pages to read. You can read the articles in whatever order you like, but there are a fixed amount of them, no endless clicking.

Those coloring books are so cute!!! My cozy hobby is jigsaw puzzles.

I knit, crochet, and play video games with my little daughters- these are some of the best times! You’re absolutely right. Maybe I’ll check out a gaming magazine or something… thanks for the great ideas!

Hiking! Of course, you can be super intense about it, but you don't have to be. Taking a walk through the woods can be so relaxing.

So glad this came up in my feed! YES to all of this! I used to hoard magazines! I am a creative planner. That is my #1 hobby. It really brings me joy. I used to scrapbook and I’d like to start doing it digitally. I have so many coloring books I need to start coloring too. Love this and subscribing ❤

June's Journey is the best game for Cozy feels :) Thank you! Thank you so much for making me discover Creative Haven coloring books! Finally coloring book that I like! :) And Good Housekeeping magazines doesn't exist anymore in paper format... only digital :(

I enjoy writing too. I write fanfiction. You’re borrowing characters and putting them in your own universe. But the beauty is you can publish on several different sites. Before, they were stories I wrote, but never saw the light of day.

I agree! Coziness is important… Peaceful, calming and good for your mental health 😊👍🏻

I just got into paint by number kits! They’re so easy to just sit down and do- without having to tap into a ton of creativity! I buy mine at Michael’s but I’m sure they have them on Amazon

Magazines are great. My favorite is Bella Grace. But I also collect them for collage. Scissors, magazines, glue stick. That’s all you need. I use junk mail as my bases to glue them to. I even use booklet junk mail as bases for Zines. All of my colleagues and friends know I will take any magazine they want to give me.

Love this video! A hobby that combines gaming and creativity for me is the sims. The way you talked about writing is kind of how I play the sims, I love creating a story/background for my sims.

yesss that’s so true!! so many forms of creativity in the sims!

An idea for creative writing is to write about all the times you've succeeded at something or tender moments you remember or compliments you received, things you're proud of, etc. I also like to watch KZread videos as a hobby. I just skip around from one interesting topic to another. Yours popped up today! Dancing is also fun. I've been taking a line dancing class and practice with KZread videos. Love jigsaw puzzles.

I love to play music especially the guitar it gives me such a calm and peaceful feeling. And even just hearing country music is so fulfilling.

WOODLE TREE ADVENTURES 2 🍂🍂on the switch is my go to cosy game. Love colouring, Kawaii Doodles Embroidery whilst watching TV & just recently I brought this amazing activity book from TYPO/COTTON ON with a frog on the front of it it's so calming! 👌😊👍 Also LIGHTS OUT on Spotify is super calming whilst crafting or cleaning.

I love so many of these ideas! I'm becoming addicted to your channel. 🌺🌸💮 Reading and listening to podcasts is my go-to cozy activity when I'm under major stress, but I love the ideas you have. And that you're always in search of the things that will give you "cozy joy." I'm a stress magnet, with lots of things around me that induce anxiety. So I'm always looking for that next thing to add to my Cozy collection. I do embroidery (what used to be called crewel) because my mom gave me her 50-year-old framed crewel embroidery to keep. And it inspired me. There are lots of freebie patterns online, and it requires only a few things to get started. Also, macrame!! It's back in style, after all these years. And it's easy. I'm still using little kits, but I can see that I'll be quickly graduating to freestyle pretty soon. Also, one more thing... I totally agree that magazines are the ultimate cozy. When I was in the hospital, and having a rather painful surgery done, I couldn't focus on anything that required my hands doing anything. But magazines gave me a peaceful feeling. 💚

okay you've sold me on magazines!! i'm gonna go look up some subscriptions right now 💕 i started making lil earrings out of polymer clay last year which is so fun! nothing gives me more serotonin than wearing a cute messy pair of earrings in the shape of jam jars that i made with my own hands 🥰 lovely video, thank you!

Ravelry is a great resource for crochet or knitters! There are a lot of free patterns on there (as well as ones to purchase) and they have a fairly good search system for desired patterns/skein lengths/etc. I definitely recommend checking it out before Etsy!

Yes!! 👏👏👏 I have such an appreciation for physical books, magazines, newspapers etc. A lot of people think it’s old-fashioned but there’s just something about it! It’s so much better than reading on a screen

I'm trying to get back into hobbies after a long time of burnout and just how you talk about things is really motivating! I've started playing cozy games, I'm trying to read more because my tbr is endless 😂, I crochet while listen to audio dramas ( currently addicted to the Magnus Archives!), colour, and play bass guitar, acoustic guitar and piano. I find learning instruments very cozy and comforting, and ukulele is a great entry point! Thanks again ❤❤

I'm going to retire early at age 53 this year and I think you have an untapped market for your cozy vids...retirees or early retirees who need fresh ideas about what to do with their time. This video is one awesome example. You're opening up FUN and cozy hobbies to people who are trying to transition out of focusing on work all the time.

This topic resonates with me. I'm in my 60s and remember how much I loved going through my mom's collection of magazines like Woman's Day and The Ladies Home Journal. I also hung around the magazine section of any store I was in. Reading is one of the most accessible hobbies there is. I also enjoy coloring now and then and doing crossword puzzles and anagrams. They were all great ideas.

Girl I’m with you a magazine just hits different. I even get excited just finding a catalog in my mailbox

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Cozy DND?!? My family loves playing, but I don’t love the usual vibe. I’d love to play with similar cozy players in a cottage core world or something else wholesome…amazing! These are such great ideas, K! I’d love to branch out from my cozy gaming. You’ve inspired me so much. That waffle bag - wuuuuuut?!?

As an art teacher who struggles with burnout, coloring pages are my therapy! I don't feel like doing art when I get home and this fulfills my need. Hopefully I can get back my creative spark when school is out fir summer

Puzzle books totally count! I love me some logic problems, the kind where you fill in a grid to narrow down the answers, and my mom swears by sudoku.

Duuuuude I was absolutely OBSESSED with magazines when I was a kid and I kinda forgot how much I loved them until you said something omg🥹

Watching your videos is my new cozy hobby 🧸🤎

I grew up with a mom who had a "craft room" and it was the best thing for my creative little self and i found myself creating my own craft room in my house without realizing. Literally everything you could imagine. Sewing, cross stitching, crochet, knitting, painting, paint with gems, paint by numbers, coloring, EVERYTHING GIVE IT ALL TO ME ❤❤

What wonderful suggestions for coloring! I love my Crayola Supertips and the Teresa Goodridge books are some of the best!

I agree with the magazines thing, I used to love getting them and I would read them and really enjoy them. I need to start getting back into that

Brilliant video, absolutely brilliant! I do all those hobbies you mentioned, as well as Diamond Painting (absolutely addictive), Scrapbooking, Junk Journalling, Collage (look up Margarette Miller), and I like to cut up Paper Dolls which is a dying hobby that needs to be resurrected. In my past, I’ve also tried Bobbin Lace Making and was heavily involved in Porcelain Painting. I’m going to have a crack at custom Blythe Dolls in the next couple of months.

Love your video! Lots of great ideas. Some things I've done recently includes stenciling, watercolor painting, paint by number, collecting stickers and washi tape, writing letters, collecting rubber stamps, making soap, learning calligraphy, and growing my own herbs indoors. I recently got a needle felting kit on etsy but haven't tried it out yet.

I would add yoga to the list; it’s the coziest form of exercise! Cat-cows, twists, child’s pose all feel SO good in the body, and it keeps your mind in the present. It can be as intense or cozy as you want - either way, you’re being productive, because you’re moving and stretching your body. It’s hard not to feel even just a little bit better after doing yoga.

Love this! I've always had a million hobbies and I think that's why being bored is such a rare thing for me. I learned to crochet last year and I love it. I used to be obsessed with magazines you make me want to get back into them 😩💕

Regarding the magazine option, you may be surprised what your local library has available. Check the libraries near you to see what's there and it could help you save quite a bit of money. 👍

I love, love your list! Most of these are my favs too! But check out Glue Books! A great combo of vision boards, magazines, writing, coloring and gluing!! You will love it!❤️❤️❤️

Watching your videos has literally saved my life. I struggle with extreme anxiety. ..finding out about cozy games and living a cozy life gave me hope and these hobbies are gems! Thank you so much ❤️

It’s funny that you bring up magazines. I get my kids one called, The Week, and it’s a nice summary of what’s happening in the world and shares a little on everything, tech, animals, sports, etc and I always end up reading it after them. And even has a puzzle/sudoku or “find what differences” in the back to bring in another hobby.

Calligraphy is a current love!

A cozy magazine I recommend is Bella Grace 💖

I was literally gem painting while watching this video haha and i looked up like yesss i love this when you mentioned it!

I love thissss! My current hobbies are reading, gaming, coloring books, & board games! I got Lego sets as a Christmas gift so I’m excited to start that too 🤓 I love all of your cozy hobby suggestions 💗💗

Aw I do card readings, card crafting with stickers & cozy gaming too♡ yays

I'm so glad you mentioned board games. It is another huge community that you can get involved in or just clear the table and take all the bits and pieces out and play yourself.

my favorite cozy time hobby is watching movies, Random Harvest is my ultimate cozy time movie

Love the idea of cozy hobbies. Besides playing cozy games and reading, I also love baking and playing the piano, both of which I think are super cozy too.

a good home and garden magazine will just refill my soul!!! I've gotten into hobbies in the last year - books/audiobooks, watercolor painting, and gardening predominantly! Trying to take up crochet and/or knitting, journaling, and more art hobbies this year! I tried to take up video games, but I've just never been one to stick with it. Maybe I'll get around to it again this year!

Love this so much I have switch and animal crossing, I have far too many Lego sets and gem paintings but I love that I am not alone ❤

I love this 😍 Also another really cut and cosy hobby is scrapbooking! I haven't done some in a while but it's so relaxing. Just grabbing a bunch of scrap and sticking it down and writing little quotes that you can look back on. It's so rewarding

I love all these ideas! Magazines are great to recycle into mood boards too!

I like a lot of the hobbies you mentioned. I would add using Fountain pens to that list. I bought some in December and use them for everything, not even calligraphy. Literally for writing in my journals or taking notes, etc. I also make journals and planners and that is a super relaxing activity and fun! I do crochet as well and on my bucket list for 2023 id learning to knit. This year I did buy a few books to read but my goal is to also read through books I purchased in the past and never read. 🙂

Girl!! I’m literally changing my lifestyle from new mom running on no sleep to new mom running on no sleep cozy buddying gamer? 😂 I bought my first switch and loving it!

I've been experiencing a lot of anxiety lately and this is exactly what I needed! I love the variety of different activities you choose to include. I'll definitely be trying a puzzle book! I agree with you about enjoying simple tasks that allow us to be present

Also! In terms of magazines at 11:44 everyone should try zines if they haven’t! Artist produced and always unique. Plus, you will be directly supporting someone. If you’re in nyc a great place to get some is Desert Island, Bluestockings or Caffeine Underground. There are so many other coffee shops and bookstores that carry them too. If you’re looking to get them directly from art stores try Paperboy off the J train. Anyway that’s the zine talk of the day, hope this helps someone find something new.

This is such a cute video. I watched while doing my cross stitch 😂 another hobby i have is making wreaths - at first i just made a base from old coathangars twisted together but then i bought a wicker wreath base from a craft shop and it's much prettier. I use ribbons, or go to my backyard or down to the river near my house and clip leaves and flowers, and just stick em in there. It definitely isn't pinterest-worthy but i don't care, it's fun and relaxing for me. We got the kids a Switch for Christmas and i think i might need to "borrow" it and check out some of these cosy games. I haven't played anything except Mario kart since i was a preteen, the Sims came out when i was in uni and i didn't have time to play it.

another gem of a video! you mentioned some hobbies that I already love and some that I now want to try. I’ve also been obsessed with patch magazine, I love how small it is so it doesn’t seem overwhelming. other cozy hobbies that I enjoy: creative journaling(using stickers, stamps, markers,etc), photography, playing with my cat and zentangles. one another hobby that I’ve only done once but was super cozy was a wood burning class. we used tracing/carbon paper for the design so all I had to do was follow the lines, then painted it with watercolors.

What a lovely video topic!!! And what a cozy room and person. Glad to have stumbled on this! Some others I'll mention can be: listening to cozy music, cooking, making and enjoying good quality teas, doing puzzle...there's screen ones such as making Pinterest boards...outdoor ones such as going to a kirtan or maybe riding a bike, ice skating, yoga, farmer's market, movie theater, a play, getting a professional massage, visiting public Christmas light displays, book clubs, hanging out with an animal, etc.💚
