1. A Trip To The Town
Just because we have to maintain social distancing does not mean you have to be all locked up. We have the perfect plan to keep you safe while you enjoy a perfect night out. For starters, you need to select the place and make reservations way ahead of time. Be it a restaurant, bar, or club; you have to make sure the place won’t be crowded and follow the social distancing norms. Choose the nearest destination from your home and arrange for a cab or car much before the event.
2. Movie Marathon
There is a difference between binge-watching on your own and binge-watching with your favorite people. Everything is more exciting when there is a celebration going on! Make sure you take a poll of all the movies you want to watch and create a beautiful ambiance with lights (preferably on the terrace). You can also arrange a potluck and have all your favorite snacks to munch while you welcome the New Year.
3. Redesign The Living Space
We understand people come to your home to celebrate all year round, but one way you can make it look different is by revamping your drawing-room. You will be surprised to know how different your home looks with the slightest displacement of furniture. Also, the holiday decoration adds to making your interior look really pretty!
4. Send Letters To Your Folks
We understand it’s the era of messages and emails, but imagine the excitement when you receive a handwritten letter from a dear one. You can write individual letters to all the people close to you and decorate the letters with beautiful cards. Once you write and receive them all, you will have something really memorable to decorate in your yearbook!
5. Chart Your Resolutions
There is no better time than New Year to chart your resolutions. If you feel disheartened that they won’t last, we have a trick to make them work. For starters, make them realistic and to the point. If you want to be healthy, make a timetable that will help you log your everyday workout and meals. By doing so, you can keep a check on your own improvements.
6. Take A Trip
New Year is also an excellent time to treat yourself to a trip. All you need to do is select a place you always wanted to go, pack your backpack and head out. You can also make a vlog or note your experience and add the pictures in a slam book.
7. Time For Your Favorite Games
If you have guests invited to your house, you can always arrange for board games. The most entertaining ones are ludo, snake and ladder, and Jenga. If you can’t arrange for these, the age-old games like antakshari and damsharas will also keep your bunch entertained.
8. A Good Book
This is perfect for people who enjoy being home alone. Just imagine decorating your home with lights just right to start your favorite book. You can also make small goals of completing a book in a week and writing your experience in your journal.
9. Start A Project
What could be a better day to start a project than the New Year! The best part is, it could be anything, from reading a book to making a painting, all you need to do is plan it ahead and start off with the first day of the year itself.
10. Make A Wish
Sometimes all you need to do is bring a New Year cake and make a wish. To make it more special, you can always bake the cake yourself and document it to preserve the memory forever.
11. Visit A Charity Home
If you have never visited a charity home before, we suggest you try it this year itself. You will be surprised at how enjoyable it can be to share happiness with children. If you have time to arrange, how about dressing up as a Santa and gifting sweets to the little ones.
So now that you know how to make your New Year extra special, what are we waiting for! Make sure you make appointments and send the gifts and letters early, so they reach the people before the year ends. So, do you have a unique idea in mind? Let us know in the comments below.
