Fun Ways To Celebrate New Year’s At Home

HI beautiful people! My name is Sky Bambie and I am a part of the Hubient Talents. This year I have decided to have a quite at home celebration with family. The past 2 years have been rough for everyone and I think it’s a good change to have a relaxing new year’s eve. If you are like me and spending it at home, I hope you can find some inspiration from my list of ideas below.

DIY Your Own Ball Drop or use party poppers

Use the traditional party poppers when the countdown ends or get a little fancy and pop confetti/glitter balloons. Yes, there will be a little bit of clean up but that is the mornings problem. Let loose and have fun!

Make it a game night

Whether it is cards or board games or even multiplayer video games on your consoles, your phones, laptops etc. Keep yourself, family or friends entertained in the last moments of 2021. You can also play games online with your long distance loved ones a personal favourite of mine is scribble an online Pictionary game.

Another popular option is a virtual quiz over zoom about any subject you want. Make fun quizzes about each other and see who knows you the best.

Write Down Your goals for 2022

The cliché that everyone is sick of, but everyone cannot help but take part in. It fills us with hope for the new year ahead and honestly, like you have heard a million times. It is good to continually reflect and revaluate how you can be happier or better yourself. Write them in a journal, put them in tiny notes and keep them in a jar or make a visual representation with a mood board.

Journal About the year that has just passed.

Another reflection activity, but now we are looking into the past instead of the possibility of the future. I would suggest doing this one before you write down your goals for the new year. This activity will help you be mindful of the choices you made and appreciate your accomplishments and evaluate what you did and did not love.

If you get into a routine of this, you get the heart-warming joy of looking back at your past self each year and see how much you have grown.

Get your drink on

New year’s is well known for its accompanied beverages and shameless plug, check out my article on 10 summer cocktails if you want to find some delicious recipes! Turn it into a game and competition of who can make the best-looking cocktail or see who can make it quicker.

Indulge yourself with the traditional champagne to pop at midnight or think outside the box and do a virtual wine tasting where you get sent the wines and cheese. Log onto the class and get coached through the experience and start your new year being fancy.

Food!

Order all your favourites and have a giant mukbang or create a grazing board with bits and pieces of delicious snacks. The only vital thing is to plan ahead as delivery on the night is guaranteed to be late if ordered last minute.

Dress up and get the photo props ready.

Just because you are not leaving the house does not mean you can’t dress up to celebrate. This will definitely help you get in the new year’s spirit and adding a DIY photo booth will just add to the fun. Bonus points for using a polaroid camera!

Get comfortable with your favourite movies

Opposite to the above idea, this one is for those who prefer a quieter night. Lay down, dress down and put on your favourite comfort movie to bring you into the new year.

DIY Spa Skincare

While others start the first day of the year usually accompanied with eye bags from a hangover, you can burst out with glowing skin. Put on a face mask, soak in a bath and light those candles.
