Fight the boredom

Introducing
Anti-
Boredom Kit

If there’s one thing we’ve learned this year, it’s that staying in can get real boring, real fast. That’s why we’re here to help make staying in a blast this holiday season. From our super quizzes to curated Instagram feeds that’ll have you scrolling for days, we’re here to say no to boredom. Pour yourself some eggnog and scroll down to fight the boredom.

Put your cards on the table

Nothing screams holiday cheer quite like a friendly (or heated) game of cards with family or friends. Cards also happen to be one of our favourite ways to fight the boredom, so we’ve compiled our favourite games with instructions on how to play. While some of you may have gotten our deck of cards, any ol’ deck can be used to enjoy the games.

Black Jack

This simple but strategic game is perfect for curing holiday boredom.

From our Super Quizzes

The ultimate at-home fun for us at P&G has been online quizzes. We love quizzes so much we’ve made over 160 of them, and compiled some of our favourite questions into three super quizzes. And what better way to keep your brain stimulated this holiday season than by learning about a range of topics from Irish slang to Uzbekistan and so much more. We’re sure there’s a question for everyone! 😉

Binge watching szn

Scrolling endlessly for something to watch is such a chore, so we did the work for you. Whether your holidays are so calm you’re actually craving drama, you really want to get into the spirit and watch a Hallmark movie you already know the plot of, or have binged so many series you’re ready to rewatch the best of Friends, our hand-picked streaming curation will be sure to keep you cozy at home while the snow falls outside.

In the kitchen

We think that food and cooking is one of the best cures for boredom. And with our easy-to-follow recipes and two talented former bartenders, we’ve got you covered on creating the ultimate holiday dining experience right at home, or a tasty New Years eve midnight snack.

For the ‘gram

Boredom often leads us down an Instagram hole, so if you’re looking for an Instagram account that has a dreamy mood board or a meme account that’ll crack you up, our team has curated some must-follow Instagram accounts that we know you’ll love too.
