Previously, I wrote about the Seven blessings that are getting me through quarantine. That included my new obsession with whipped coffee, our mood-boosting daily video calls with our family and friends, and delicious home cooked meals. Expanding on that post now, I am going to write about our five best quarantine purchases.
Moka Pot
At the beginning of the quarantine, we were restricted from going outside and purchasing our daily coffee. We all got acquainted with how to use our at-home coffee machines or, if you were like me, fell into the Dalgona trend. Another trend that I’m in love with is making Cuban coffee with a Moka Pot. Compared to other coffee machines, this is an affordable alternative that makes absolutely delicious coffee. Try it, and feel the difference!
Pictures Frames
I can’t be the only one who prints out hundreds of photos and puts them aside for future projects. Well, during lockdown I took all our photos and framed them, then placed them around the apartment. This is a great mini-project, giving our home high spirits, during a time of social distancing.
Diffuser
With more time being spent at home, the air-quality is important, especially for us in a studio apartment. We purchased a diffuser in order to make sure we have good air quality in our home and to also incorporate some subtle smell.
Phone Stands
Unable to see our family and friends during quarantine, we have been video calling our them more than ever. We ended up purchasing a little phone stand that we put on each side of our bed. A great purchase as it allows us to be hands free.
Marriage Book
The last purchase is a Marriage book. Our thought on this was that because we are going to be on lockdown together, we may find ourselves bickering over small things. Instead, why not invest this opportunity to strengthen our marriage? We needed some guidance, so we resorted to a very helpful book called “A Couples Devotional by Michelle Peterson.” We have been doing the devotionals every week, leading us to have deep discussions together during this time. Highly recommended for couples!
I am curious to know, so comment below some of your best quarantine purchases!
I love these! Thanks for sharing!
What a great idea to make recommendations of purchases for quarantine! My favorite is the picture frame project. Hang up the photos of all the people you aren’t getting to see and enjoy your happy memories with them.
Good Ideas.
Wow , these are so creative. Going to try them, thanks for sharing:)
I love my diffuser and phone stand they are both so useful in the daily life. Great list!
This gave me some really good ideas! Thanks so much!
Love these things especially the idea of buying a marriage book.
These ideas are so creative, thanks for the inspiration. My favorite is the moka pot. I’m a huge coffee lover and I’ve never even heard of that!! Adding it to my wish list 🙂
Awesome! I’m always curious what others are buying and doing to stay busy at home.
I totally bought a phone stand, moka pot and diffuser too!! I love the idea of getting some frames honestly. I miss seeing my friends and family and seeing their photos might brighten my day more 🙂
I need to buy the phone stand! Sounds so cool!!
