Be it a new skill that you’ve always wanted to learn or an old one that you’ve wanted to get back into; now may be the perfect time to get busy and make the most out of the new year. The idea of a new year and a fresh start is exciting, so definitely add a new project to your New Year’s Resolutions!
So what is everyone into nowadays? Let’s have a look at what’s trending for 2022. It seems as though most of what people learn these days is discovered on TikTok. After lots of research and hours on social media, we found that these are the top trending hobbies to follow in the new year:
Arts & Crafts
Looks like the new Van Gogh is coming from this generation. Whether you are scrapbooking or creating beautiful art and pottery, a lil’ do-it-yourself moment is always cute and helps bring out the inner creativity you never thought you had.
Gardening
Believe it or not, Gen Z’s are gardening! Taking on roles as ‘plant moms and dads’ and listing this newly found hobby in their bio to show the world how serious it is, whilst getting all the pots, plants and planters they need to live up to the titles.
If you want to start growing your own organic veggies but have no idea where to start, then Jane’s Delicious Garden, a guide on how to grow organic vegetables and herbs in South Africa is just what you need. This is a budget-friendly, rewarding and fun hobby! We’re very excited about homescaping in the new year!
Reading Books
So this is one that seems to fall in and out of fashion through the years. For a long time being a bookworm was looked down upon but now it looks like the pandemic and all these lockdowns have forced more people to read and we could not be happier. Find the top 50 best sellers in SA here and enjoy!
