Need a new hobby? Want to emulate a grandmother? Here are some great ideas for fun things to do in your spare time to get you ready to be the best grandma in 40-50 years!
1. Knitting
2. Baking
This hobby will also come with many friends wanting to try your creations.
3. Crocheting
4. Sudoku
You gotta keep the mind healthy.
5. Crosswords
6. Cooking
7. Thrifting
Goodwill is your go-to for fabulous finds that won't break the bank.
8. Join a book club
Whether or not you actually read the book, either way it's a good way to socialize.
9. Yard Sale-ing
Don't tell me you didn't go yard sale-ing with your grandma at least once in your childhood.
10. Napping
11. Brunching
Food and friends (and a mimosa)... what's not to love about this hobby?
12. Spades
13. Hearts
14. Gardening
Figure out if you have a green thumb earlier rather than later.
15. Sewing
Being able to fix (or even make) your own clothes seems like both a creative outlet and a practical skill.
16. Antiquing
17. Cross-Stitching
Make some wall decorations for your room!
18. Power-walking
Why normal walk when you could speed walk?
19. Reading at 64-font on your Kindle
20. Read the newspaper
There's just something peaceful and nostalgic about reading a physical newspaper...
21. Collecting
Coins, dolls, you name it.... someone probably collects it.
22. Quilting
23. Rummy
24. Giving wise advice to those younger than you
25. Get a magazine subscription
26. Write hand-written letters to friends
It's fun and there is something so meaningful about taking the time to write it out and mail it.
27. Bridge
28. Curate a bomb matching pajama collection
29. Scrapbooking
Take your memories and add a creative touch... you won't regret it.
30. Tai Chi
I'm not a regular grandma, I'm a cool grandma...
31. Flower-arranging
32. Photography
Capture the moments of the loved ones around you!
33. Plan girls' trips with friends
34. Volunteer
Find time to give back to causes that you are passionate about!
35. Watch game shows
36. Watch soap operas
All the plot points and characters may be cringy, but they are so addicting!
Consider some of these hobbies if you find yourself looking for something to fill your time. When grandma-hood comes around, you'll be ready for it. And if you already do a lot of these things, well then we might as well go ahead and affectionately call you a 20-something grandma!
