To ask what hobbies people have?

[Newmama29]

I’m a 27yo woman that does absolutely nothing for myself 🤦🏼‍♀️. I have a DS(2) & I work long hours as a nurse but I just feel like I don’t do anything in my free time. Me & DP were talking about Christmas presents & he said I’m so hard to buy for because I don’t have many interests which he’s right about. Could I ask what people do as hobbies or just for themselves?

Mine is reading as a bit of escapism
I wished I could knit though

Crochet
Essential oil blending
Indoor plants

Church bell ringing

Cross stitch and just teaching myself to crochet.

also reading and a bit of yoga when I get the chance

Knitting and crochet
Cross stitch
Singing in a choir
Play piano
Gardening

Reading, going to the theatre and cinema, visiting wildlife reserves, playing board games, crochet, gardening, exercise, cooking new things, learning new stuff (like weekend workshops or going to guest lectures), my pets, sewing (badly), singing (even worse), building a wildlife garden, quiz nights…

I find most stuff pretty interesting.

Reading
Scrap booking
A bit if cross stitch but I get bored easily!

Building Lego which also involves being in a Lego social group and displaying or going to Lego/model shows.

Reading.
Needle felting.
Gaming.

I knit, crochet, sew or read. I also like going swimming with my waterproof mp3 player, I love cranking the music high and just swimming back and forth and putting everything out of my mind.

Cross stitch, reading, watching movies (as many as possible)

Reading
Cinema
Record collecting
Yoga

Baking
gardening
dog walking

I read and do jigsaws, i used to be a big gamer but am in a slump on that

i want start scrapbooking but feel a-bit overwhelmed with where to start tbh

Pole dance

Knitting socks and mending clothes
Reading, poetry and non-fiction mainly
Hiking and camping
Puzzle books
Baking/trying new recipes

Would love to get some more hobbies that get me out and mixing with people though. A goal for 2023!

Yoga, pilates, book club, gardening, cinema and a couple of volunteering gigs.

These are all great suggestions. I suppose I’m a bit of a start & give up person 🤣. I started knitting during lockdown when I was pregnant but I wasn’t great at it so gave it up. I love a jigsaw but not sure where to set one up in the house 🤦🏼‍♀️. I read every night, that’s one hobby I do have I suppose lol. Between working & looking after DS I don’t have much free time to do much activities out the house that don’t involve my DS. My DP works away & the shift pattern is erratic so it’s hard to join any clubs or anything as I can’t commit due to that & my work schedule 🤦🏼‍♀️

Running, it's my absolute passion.

Knitting, crochet, reading, walking, going to the gym. Just about to learn how to use a sewing machine

Can’t say it’s too outing 😝

I belong to a book club.
I also belong to a choir but I don't enjoy it that much. I'd rather just get together for coffee and a gossip
I love to travel- slightly curtailed lately for obvious reasons
I read alot of history
I love trying out new recipes

Historical fencing. It is a lot of fun, and I've met some lovely people.

Cinema and theatre, usually on my own so I can absolutely please myself. Not helpful for gifting tho.

Various outdoor pursuits so always happy to get decent gloves socks, hats, etc.

Crochet, knitting, reading, going to the gym and puzzle books and cryptic crosswords.
