And you have to complete them all! Love from your friendly stuck to the sofa girl xx
🤍 Wear a Selkie dress
To basically feel like a fairy crossed with a character from a Tennyson poem
🤍 Throw a spring themed party or girls night
With spring themed edibles, such as carrot cake, strawberry, lemon and elderflower meringue and raspberry sorbet. You could even add edible flowers to cakes and even cocktails.
If the weather is good, you could set it outside and set down a picnic rug or mat to have your party spread on. You could reference the whole age old maypole tradition in your decorations, by decorating with ribbon streamers or banners, ribbons tied from trees or some cute bunting in pastel colours.
Also make use of lots of confetti, to give the look and feel of flower or blossom petals. Confetti also stands for good fortune and a whole snowstorm of it never fails to look beautiful and delight guests no end! It also makes for great photos and for the prettiest photo backdrop. Confetti angels ftw!
You could make or order some pretty cones or personalised empty confetti packets, maybe with each of your guests names on for the cutest touch. You can opt for biodegradable paper confetti, ribbon, real flower petals or other natural materials, or try newspaper or old magazine cuttings for a cute shabby chic, vintage look.
You could also give out wildflower seed bombs as party favours! These are easy and fun to make too, plus you can make them in different pretty shapes and colours.

🤍 Customise your phone or laptop with a spring wallpaper
Use a snap of one your pets rolling in the grass or chilling in the sun/flowers, or go on Cocoppa to change up your app covers. I love to find a new wallpaper every month or so because for me it is like turning a new page on my calendar and my phone feels like new again. You could also celebrate the new season with a new playlist on your phone and new songs on repeat in your ears, I love jazzy kinds of music for spring.
🤍 Go on a countryside walk to spot lambs
The best excuse to get outside if you can manage it, even better shared with friends or pets too!
🤍 Treat your pets to spring
Although there are many of our furry friends we cannot take on walks, we can try to bring spring time to them instead. Take your four legged friends to play in the grass, at the beach, in the water, pick some dandelions for your bunnies, open a window for your indoor pets and let in fresh air, maybe let them sunbathe on the roof.
🤍 Put your favourite spring clothes at the front of your wardrobe
I feel like spring is a time where we can strip back our adult persona and we are still children underneath, fashioned from those same basic emotions. I feel like we can connect with that side of us still, a side that is pleased by pressed flowers and going barefoot and ice cream and a blizzard of confetti… I hope you liked these ideas!

These are such wonderful suggestions! Definitely a lot of great ways to embrace the spring season this year.
