Looking to spend less time glued to screens this year? Cultivating a new hobby is a fantastic way to fill your downtime. Whether your goal is to become a culinary whiz, launch a side hustle, or create stunning art, there's a hobby out there for you.

Consider learning a new language. Babbel subscriptions offer 60,000 lessons in 14 languages, including Spanish, French, and German. Their method promises fluency in just three weeks. Use code LEARN40 (valid until February 2nd) to snag Babbel at its lowest price ever: $130.

Several other hobbies are easy to start without breaking the bank. Explore the options below and discover a new passion!

Cooking

A good knife set is essential for any aspiring chef. This 10-piece set, available in various colors at Walmart, provides a chef's knife and other sizes for any ingredient. Pair it with a set of stainless steel mixing bowls for easy cleanup and professional-grade mixing. Find similar sets at Bed Bath & Beyond. Finally, deepen your culinary knowledge with "Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat", a cookbook and textbook hybrid. The eBook version is available at Barnes & Noble.

Gardening

Transform your backyard into a green oasis with a nine-piece gardening tool set, complete with a storage bag. Cultivate vegetables and herbs in 10-gallon grow bags (smaller 5-gallon options available at Home Depot). For limited spaces, vertical stackable planters are ideal for flowers, herbs, or vegetables.

Knitting

Start knitting with an 11-pair knitting needle set and a knitting storage bag for your yarn and accessories. Acrylic yarn mini-skeins are perfect for beginners.

Photography

Explore photography with an affordable polaroid camera, available at Walmart and Best Buy. For a more serious approach, consider the Canon EOS 2000D (also at Walmart) and a dedicated camera backpack.

Woodworking

Begin wood carving with a comprehensive carving kit and protective gloves. A rotary tool kit enables precise carving, sanding, and wood burning. For finishing touches, a DEWALT orbital sander (also available at Lowe's) is invaluable.

Painting and Drawing

Experiment with a 24-piece paint brush set, complete with a storage case and pallet knives. A 76-piece drawing set provides sketching pencils, colored pencils, sketchbooks, and charcoal pencils for various drawing styles. Finally, stock up on a multi-pack of stretched canvases to bring your artwork to life.
