Indytute (at-home experiences)
And now for something a little different… If you’re anything like us, it’s hard to find the perfect present during #lockdown. So when we heard about Indytute, we thought it was a stroke of genius for friends who are still stuck at home (in some cases, having a SECOND locked-down birthday!)
We discovered Indytute via Holly Tucker in her Holly & Co weekly e-mail newsletter, which is a source of all sorts of fascinating finds and links to inspirational podcasts and other resources.
Basically, Indytute offers all manner of at-home ‘experiences’ – from learning to concoct natural cosmetics to enjoying a bottle of Pol Roger champagne while hearing all about Winston Churchill via workshops in making sourdough, cocktails, moccasins for a baby... Or improving your table tennis!
Honestly, Indytute – which was founded by the entrepreneurial Calypso Rose (you can hear Holly’s podcast interview with her here) – has dozens of options which would make a perfect gift for friends and family whose birthdays or anniversaries are happening in lockdown, and you can’t think what to buy them.
Right now, lockdown seems INTERMINABLY boring for so, so many – but we love this tedium-busting site and its many, many ways to pass the time until we’re liberated. And beyond, actually.
