Brainstorming bucket list categories can help simplify the process. Here are two category ideas that you might not think of at first, but they are worth exploring
Explore Ways to Give
The one thing everyone has is time. But some of the best things in life are also limited, like love and compassion for instance! So if you’re looking to spread your wealth around this year or just need a little inspiration on what items would be most meaningful with their recipients then here it goes:
- Do something selfless by paying for someone’s coffee
- Make care packages
- Pick up trash
- Donate to an animal rescue facility
- See if your local senior center needs craft supplies
Try Fun Things to Do at Home
We all know the feeling of being at home, scrolling through social media and getting bored. The best way to avoid this problem is by making your own fun things to do! Here are 5 simple but effective ways you can spend time doing what makes YOU happy – even if it’s just sitting on the couch with nothing else going on outside that house or apartment building walls!!
- Firstly, try signing up to make a recipe with real chefs or have a friend or relative teach you in-person or virtually.
- Secondly, take time to create your own list of easy bucket list ideas
- Thirdly, plot out 3 you’d like to do month using a bucket list printable.
- Lastly, but not least, try coloring, puzzles, making your own soda (or beer – 21 and over only) or roasting coffee at home or even at-home date ideas
The best way to have a good time at home is by getting together with friends. There are plenty of fun things you can do on your own, from playing music in the background while cooking or watching TV – it’s all about creativity!

Whether you take The #BettyWhiteChallenge on Jan. 17th or not, think about donating to an animal rescue facility. Here’s a video to see that great work people are doing out there.
