Bookshelf Memories Featured in Rent.com’s Top 10 Creative Hobbies to Do at Home!

Our tips for making the most of DIY crafts

We’re excited to announce that Bookshelf Memories was featured in Rent.com’s article, "Top 10 Hobbies to Do at Home That Bring Out Your Creative Side." Some of our thoughts were highlighted as it relates to DIY Crafts. 

One of the reasons we were invited to contribute was all the work we do creating the unique Tokyo Alley Book Nook.  We thought our recommendation would be good to share with our readers and customers as well.

Here’s what we recommended in their article:
"We recommend sewing or crafting, learning how to bake, and building book nook kits. All three of these activities leave you with a physical result that you can enjoy even once you’re done. Also, once completed, they can be great, unique gifts to share with others." - Eric Gonzalez, Bookshelf Memories

Having our book nook kits listed alongside other great hobbies is a big deal for us. It shows how DIY projects like ours are becoming a go-to choice for people looking for creative, phone-free activities at home. The best part? You don’t just build something—you get to keep it, use it as decor, or give it as a one-of-a-kind gift.

Rent.com also shared some other fun ideas for getting creative at home:

• Workouts & Yoga: Turning your home into a workout space is another way to tap into creativity. Whether it’s yoga or setting up a mini home gym, it’s all about using your space creatively.
