25 Bucket List Ideas You Can Do From Home
Many of us have bucket list ideas that involve travelling and visiting new places. But during Lockdown this hasn’t been possible. And although for many of us Lockdown is easing, we still aren’t back to how it was before. Not only that, sometimes you really want to complete a challenge or goal but not spend a fortune to do it.
So here is my list of 25 bucket list ideas that you can do at home. These are fun, often cheap to do and don’t require you leaving your home or garden.
1. Learn a Language
One of the most popular tools for learning a language is Duolingo. It also turns learning into a game and you are more likely to stick to it. It is also free!
2. Make and Bury a Time Capsule
3. Write a Book
4. Watch 100 Movies from a List
There are loads of movie lists out there so pick one that you know you’ll enjoy such as 100 Disney Movies or the top 100 Greatest Movies of All Time.
5. Learn a Magic Trick
6. Create Your Family Tree
This challenge is great fun whether you are doing it by yourself or with family members. There are many websites out there to help but two that I would suggest are Ancestry and My Heritage.
7. Learn to Play an Instrument
8. Learn to Bake Bread
9. Read A Classic Book
10. Rescue a Pet from a Pet Shelter
Having a pet is often on many people’s bucket lists. There are many pets out there already in deed of loving homes so if you are considering getting a pet, why not look into rescuing first.
11. Learn How to Make Cocktails
12. Take a New Course
13. Read Through a List of Suggested Books
This will keep you busy, why not find a list of 100 Top Reads and make your way through them. Or read all of the works by Shakespeare or Dickens or the Harry Potter Series.
14. Plant a Tree
15. Start a Vegetable Garden
Or if you are short on space try a windowsill or patio garden. Herbs are easy to grow and don’t take up space and you can get creative in what containers you can grow vegetables in.
16. Name a Star
17. Learn the Constellations
18. Read the Greek Myths
19. Learn to Knit or Crochet
20. Adopt an Animal
There are many endangered species in the world and adopting them can help fund organisations that protect them. The following charities are a great place to start:
21. Brew Your Own Beer or Make Your Own Wine
22. Complete a 5000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle
23. Learn How to Cook a Different Cuisine Authentically
24. Make 1000 Paper Cranes
According to a Japanese Legend, if you fold 1000 paper origami cranes you will be granted eternal good luck. Follow these instructions and get going with your cranes.
25. Paint Some Pottery
I hope this bucket list has given you some ideas and inspiration of things to add to your own bucket list. Especially whilst travel is restricted.
