Make way for mindful activities at home this year
@_wavelengths
We are taking the Travel at Home series into the New Year. As a little refresher, this series honors the discovery of unique souvenirs we come across from small local shops found during (what seems to be the distant days of) travel. What better way to a fresh start than with some mindful at-home activities. From crochet, to board games to puzzles, let’s just say we are keeping things entertaining, from wherever you are, at the very least!

Wavelengths
Emily Young started Wavelengths three years ago as a way to keep busy after long days of staring at screens, I think we can certainly all relate to this now more than ever! Wavelengths offers her downloadable patterns, including the Mavety sweater, Aziel cardigan and Summer Vine tee for you to discover and create yourself. If you’re looking for more instant gratification, you can also purchase these pieces during Wavelengths shop drops. Check out the sweater weather drop now!

Jiggy Puzzles
Yes, puzzles have been on our radar for the past year, but Jiggy Puzzles seem to be solving not only our at-home activity needs but also our home decor fix with their beautiful frameable sets and gorgeous packaging. With global shipping, these puzzles also make a unique and thoughtful gift.

Hoyle’s of Oxford
This family-run Oxford-based shop has every (old-school) gamers’ heart’s desires. From traditional backgammon and chess sets to puzzles and playing cards, while their shop is closed browse online for these as well as vintage sets and games. Don’t hesitate to get in touch directly if you don’t find what you’re looking for, and even take a virtual tour of their beautiful location—perhaps the closest you can currently come to IRL shopping—and find out more about the shop’s history and how it all began.
