Your personal guide to finding a hobby

If you were asked “what is a hobby?”, you would probably say that it’s something one does for fun and spends almost all their free time on. Fair enough, but we would sketch in a little explanation.

We tend to think that a hobby needs to be spectacular, unique, original and, preferably, jaw-dropping. Like when your hobby is realistic picture-like drawing, skydiving or rock climbing. That’s why many people really want to know how to find a hobby, not knowing they already have one!

A hobby is all you do for fun! Reading, car fixing, or making chestnut animals. All that matters is that it makes you happy, and you are glad to devote your only free time in a week to engage with this activity.

When you start wondering how to find a hobby, just think of anything that makes you happy. There is no need to overcomplicate this. If you have at least one activity that you enjoy, the problem is solved, and you have a hobby. It can be watching (or playing) football, taking pictures or fixing a car, nothing fancy.

Hobbies are as diverse as people themselves, they can go from making art to holing up in mountain huts. All’s fair, no holds barred when it comes to developing a hobby.

How to find a new hobby is an entirely different issue. Everything comes down to trying new things and finding the one that gets endorphins rushing. If you don’t know where to start, some accessories from our Rainbow store might prove helpful - also when you are trying to inspire your close one to take up some new activity. Our hobby gifts will work wonders in motivating. You just need to provide someone with a pair of colourful socks from our hobby collection and hope that it will give them a hint as to what they should try!

Maybe you know someone who does not need a new hobby because they already have one - a cool, unconventional one? Lucky them! If so, make them feel proud of having a passion that helps them carry on and develop. Bring them one of our hobby gifts that will help them engage in the activity with more enthusiasm and the right theme on their feet

We have a pair of socks for every occasion and for every activity. Growing vegetables and weeding flower beds? Reaching new levels in your favourite games and beating others? Tricking people with manual abilities and card game magic? There are socks for every hobby.

One thing that should be learnt as early as possible is the answer to the question “what is a hobby?”. It’s anything that you would gladly be doing all day long - except maybe mindlessly scrolling social media. Don’t be too hard on yourself, and do not bend over backwards to learn how to find a new hobby. The one you might already have is as great as any other, so be proud of it and don’t forget to wear your hobby socks when engaging in it - greater satisfaction guaranteed!
