1. Read a Good Book
Everyone knows that one of the best ways to spend a rainy day is to relax in bed with a good book. A great idea for those who never have a good read around when they need it however, is to stockpile must-read books during the finer months; this way you need only grab something from the pile and settle in with a cup of tea. If you have a tablet PC or Kindle on the other hand, you can easily download whatever takes your fancy at the time!
Hey there! On a rainy day, you can try cozying up with a good book, having a movie marathon, or even baking some delicious treats. How about trying out a new hobby like painting or knitting? It's the perfect time to get creative!
Oh absolutely! Maybe you could dive into a puzzle or two, start a journal, or do some indoor exercises. Dancing around your living room is always fun too. It's all about making the most of that indoor time!
Great question! You could turn it into a self-care day with some pampering, like a bubble bath or a home spa. Light some candles, play your favorite music, and just enjoy the cozy vibes. It's like a mini retreat at home!
Family board games or crafting projects are always hits! Building a fort with blankets and having a little indoor picnic can be such fun. Cooking a meal together or a bake-off is also a fantastic way to bond. Rainy days can be memorable family times!
You definitely can! Maybe prepare a list of indoor things you've always wanted to try but never had the time for. Stock up on some fun snacks, buy ingredients for new recipes, or download new apps or books you've been eyeing. It's all about turning rainy days into something exciting!
2. Pamper Yourself
A long stretch of gloomy weather can leave you feeling pretty down sometimes, so pampering yourself is often one of the most enjoyable ways to spend a rainy day. A warm bath with some scented bath salts, a facial with some friends, catching up on lost sleep or even getting a manicure or pedicure will not only pass the time, but will have you feeling ready and raring to go as soon as the weather improves.

7. Catch up with Friends
Have you ever read an email, text message or Facebook message and meant to reply, but just haven’t been able to find the time? Why not use a rainy day to reply to all of those waiting messages and catch your friends up with the latest news. Facebook users, who haven’t touched their profile in months, may even like to update their status, pictures and information, or even add a few long lost friends. If you’re a little sentimental and old fashioned, writing a few actual letters to your friends is also one of the lovely things to do on a rainy day.
With any of these ways to spend a rainy day you won’t even notice the weather. You’ll have had a great day, caught up on things you’ve let slide, or tried something new. What do you like to do on rainy days?
