items I'm not going to lie, I'm a hobby hopper. I think I enjoy researching and buying for the hobby more than the activity itself sometimes. If you also like to try new crafts and hobbies, this list might be for you! P.S. - Of course everything is budget ...

Junk Journal/Scrapbooking
I've recently gotten into junk journaling. It's a great way to use all my cool stickers and pretty paper. This set would be a good starting point if you're looking to get into the hobby without buying a bunch of random supplies.

Puzzles 🧩
Puzzles are one of my favorite hobbies so far. You don't need a lot of materials, you can walk away from it for days and it will still be exactly how you left it, and it's a great way to use your brain without a lot of stress.
I really prefer not to go over 500 pieces personally. It just starts taking up too much space and I get tired of sorting through all the pieces honestly 😂. Puzzles can get pretty expensive, but this one is budget friendly and super cool!
