At Home Activities

Have you heard of hygge? Originating in Denmark, hygge encourages people to take the simple and oftentimes mundane things we do and put a more intentional and positive mindset towards these actions. Here are some of our favourite things to do while practicing hygge this winter. 

Cozy up, put on some calming music and relax your mind with a beautiful puzzle. Pictures of adorable animals, scenic views, and famous works of art for beginners and seasoned pros alike can help you relax. These puzzles were found at Winners. 

A board game with a loved one  is another great way to adopt hygge this season. Grab your favourite snacks and plan a night of cheerful fun. From brain engaging challenges like Scrabble, or exciting competitions like Jenga, you’re sure to find a game you’ll enjoy at the Avalon Mall. Check out this selection from Coles!

Video Games can also be part of your hygge rituals! Find relaxing games sure to help you unwind like the new Zelda Echoes of Wisdom game for Nintendo Switch. If heart racing, action packed games are more your speed, the Avalon Mall is sure to have options for that as well. Whatever game type lifts your spirits, find one suited for you at GameStop!

Cozy Night In

Sometimes an intentional, comforting night in is the reset you need. At the Avalon Mall, you’ll find all of the self care items you need for your ideal night in. 

Set the mood with a delicious new fragrant candle from Bath and Body Works. Gourmand, floral, musky and more! Their beautiful packaging is also sure to make an amazing addition to any room. 

If you’re more of an essential oil diffuser person, you’ll want to check out Saje’s Liquid Sunshine collection! Made with Grapefruit, Bergamot, and lime, this blend not only smells amazing but is intended to refresh and energize you, which many of us need during the chilly winter months. 

Skin care not only keeps your skin smooth and radiant, but also promotes emotional well being – you deserve the best! Elevate your skincare to incorporate into your night with the Sephora skincare sets.

Shake the winter blues with a fun day out, relaxing activities, a cozy night in, or anything else you know uplifts your spirits! Whatever you choose to do, the Avalon Mall is here to help you bring more joy and warmth into your life this season.
