With our usual overseas holiday postponed due to country-wide lockdowns and cancelled flights, a holiday at home might just be the best substitute for a well-deserved break. The only problem? Figuring out how to separate everyday home life with a full on staycation. Together with Wayfair, we’re showcasing our top 5 ways to get the most out of your staycation, from drinking your favourite quaran-tinis to 24/7 access to the all-inclusive fridge.
Go On Day Trips
OK, so we still can’t go on our sunny holidays abroad but it doesn’t mean we have to be stuck at home 24/7. There are still things we can do here in the UK, especially outdoor activities. You could meet a few people in your bubble and go for a kick about in the local park. You could even book yourself on to a train ride. Great if you have kids or you just fancy doing something a little different. See some of what the UK has to offer on a old steam train.
Give Your Bedroom A 5-star Makeover
Achieve that first night on holiday effect by swapping your usual bedsheets for something a little more hotel-style. Choose sheets that come with a high thread count in either Egypatian cotton or luxury silk for a guaranteed 5-star sleep. Pillow mint optional.
Host A Backyard BBQ Party
As our social bubbles extend, now is the perfect time to host a gourmet BBQ party. Forgo the typical meaty mains and stodgy side dishes for flavours from around the globe, from barbecued Moroccan aubergines, curried corn on the cobs and succulent grilled fish. Delicious.
Me, Me, Me Time
There may not be a professional masseuse waiting in your bathroom but that shouldn’t stop you from taking the time to pamper and polish. Grab one of your fridge-cooled face masks, add extra bubbles to your bath and prepare to sit back, relax and release your inner goddess.
Extend Your Happy Hour
Manhattan, Moscow, Milano…you might not be able to jet set to these cities just yet but that doesn’t mean your drinks cabinet can’t. Make sure to sip on all your favourite quarantinis with a good book by the pool, and by pool when mean the paddling kind.
All-Inclusive Fridge
While you might miss sneaking an overpriced cola or packet of crisps from the hotel mini bar, trust us when we say your fridge is three times the size and comes without the extortionate price tag. Go on, treat yourself on your staycation.
