Inside out 2 just came out and is all the hype right now. These Brickheads are so adorable and fun to build

As a Dutchie I simply can't pass up on this iconic artist's work in a LEGO set. It really is an incredible design. There is no other set that has these flowing shapes, made up off LEGO bricks.

This is a really beauty. I still have to finish this one, but I already have a place for it reserved on my desk. These colors... just wow.

I really love doing LEGO. It calms me down after a busy day. But I do like to make sets that I actually can display in my home as part of my overall decor, not just on a shelf with only LEGO.

Cute little succulents that make a set, but they can also be displayed individually. I think they are actually really cute decorative pieces, I have them on my desk and shelves.

Huge Harry Potter fan over here! I have been wanting to get the big castle like forever, however I wouldn't know where to display such a big piece. So this small version is exactly what I needed.

This one is not yet on my shelf, but it is definitely high on my wish list. I love Lego and Harry Potter, so this one is a no brainer.

No this is not a Lego build guidebook. This is the coolest coffee table book with life reimagined in Lego.

This Expecto Patronum set can be build in two different ways. So much more fun. I love this color, I have it on display above my desk.

Games and essentials

My daughter really wanted this game, so we got it for her, for her birthday. But honestly, I made my own account very soon after and I have been playing it ever since. It really fills my Disney heart.
Disney Dreamlight Valley - Nintendo Switch

Worth it. I never wanted to invest in a good keyboard, until I used this one at a friends house. I work from home + I like several PC games, so if you do too. Please take my advice, don't settle for the basic keyboard that came with the computer.
WOBKEY Rainy75 Mechanical Keyboard

This might not be the most cosy game, since many quests require quite a bit of battle. However, it is a real immersive game and as a real Harry Potter fan definitely a must have.
Hogwarts Legacy - Nintendo Switch
 
Audrey van der Linde profile picture
Many would say this a cozy gamer's must have. The adorable designs and relaxing game play allow for hours upon hours of enjoyment.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons
 
Audrey van der Linde profile picture
I truly can't understand how this game is free. It is such a beautiful world to explore and the game combines home building, farming and quests and social gameplay. It is available on several platforms. I play on the Switch.
FREE GAME - Palia

A really immersive gaming experience requires good noise cancelling headphones. Because most of us don't have a separate game room (wish I did though), so headphones are a must. These are really great and they look good.

Rainbow lights, pastel bottom, creamy sound. Especially the creamy sound... I never knew that makes such a difference for me. Trust me, you will never want to hear those normal keyboard clicks.

Nothing calms me down more than snuggling up underneath the fluffest blanket. Add a cup of tea, my Nintendo Switch or my favorite coloring book and I am set. My oldest often sneaks this blanker into her room, it is a family favorite.
Luxe Faux Fur Throw Blanket

I just ordered this blanket for the summer months. Keeping up the cozy vibes in summer on the lounge chairs outside after sundown. Glass of wine and a bood book, puzzle or game. What more do you need?
Zora Gauze Throw Blanket

Add a blanket, iced coffee, a good book or a cozy game... Be warned, you'll forget time in this cozy cocoon.
Cozy Rocking Chair
 
Audrey van der Linde profile picture
This is all you need to start a cozy corner. It will fit any decor and you can make it your own with pillows and blankets. It even fits a tray for your drink, coloring page or game.
XL cozy lounge chair

If you have kids and you set up a cozy corner. Get them a matching little chair. My girls love it. But don't forget, have fun with the kids, but it is important to remember to make room for some me-time.

With this tray you keep all your essentials close, no more reason to get up... :)

Another cozy seat option for you. It will fit any decor and you can make it your own with pillows and blankets. It is like getting hugged by a giant stuffed animal.

Over the past year I have collected several marker sets (it is a little bit of an addiction haha) for myself and the girls. These Arrtx ones are one of my favorite. Not too expensive either.

For the longest time skin was a struggle, because most sets only have limited options, and most are way too pinky or beige. So this set, in the cutest box I might add, saved the day.
Arrtx Skin Tone Alcohol Markers - 36 Colors

You can never go wrong with Disney, and mostly I gravitate towards the soft and cute images. But these villians are iconic and so much fun to color.
Art of Coloring: Disney VILLIANS

I have found that many people who are into coloring prefer a particular style. Highly detailed, super cute, realistic or reversed line work. This fantasy style really speaks to me. What do you think?

Painting-by-numbers really calms my mind. There are three colorful sets to choose from. I just got one, but I will definitely get more when I am done.

Combine two super cozy activities by baking and glazing lego cookies. They are great for parties or just to enjoy at home with the family and during your cozy time.

This is a fun spin on your typical coloring book. Pages with intricate patterns that cleverly hide a creature to color. Finding them gets harder as you get further into the book.
The Hidden Creatures Coloring Book

This set is the holy grail of markers. This is on the top of my wishlist, but I have yet to purchase it, because I want this big set. There are several smaller sets available for you to try ofcourse.
Ohuhu Alcohol Based Brush Markers:

Ohuhu is like the Rolls Roys of coloring markers. This set gives you a very complete selections of tones. They are worth the investment. However, I have some more affordable options in my list too.
Ohuhu 60 Colors Dual Tips Marker

Sometimes I like to do just some simple coloring, but getting immersed in a detailed page with a beautiful Disney design like this is so satisfying. Also try to find the color by number ones, they are amazing (I will try to find a link for you).
