Welcome back, Shoppers.

The underrated perk of a long weekend? Being that much closer to the next weekend. Here are all the products we’re stocking up on for even more downtime (including a daily steal that’s too good to pass up). Scroll, tap, and relax…

This winter, we’re itching to change up the usual activities we have on rotation. So we’re taking you along the journey with us as we explore new hobbies. Next up, we’re getting our creative juices flowing with a little paint.

How to do it:

• Keep it simple. We’ve only ever painted for fun and plan to keep it that way. For now, we’re aiming for products and services that’ll guide us as the true beginners we are.

• Grab a friend. Paint and pour classes are fun for a reason — and you can even mimic them from the comfort of your own home.

• Pick your guide. Whether you’re wanting to take a class or use a kit, there are endless options to ease you into painting.

What to buy:

• This mini paint-by-numbers kit. By starting with a mini canvas, this hobby will feel less intimidating. This set comes with everything you need, from number-coded paints to brushes. We love this brand because the designs are so cute, you’ll actually want to frame your work once it’s done.

• A class from Uncommon Experiences. One of our editors recently did this Paint Your Pet class and raved about it. It’s a live, virtual experience with an instructor. Plus, you can buy a kit in advance that Uncommon Experiences will ship to your door. If you’re looking to paint a different subject, the brand has additional virtual options to choose from.
