The myBagFactory Bucket List for Spring - Top 10 Things to Do in Spring

It's finally here! We really enjoyed the last few winter months, which gave us a lot of snow for the first time in a long time, but after a really long and cold winter, we are happy that the long-awaited start of spring finally arrived a few days ago. Unfortunately, the sun was a little late in making its appearance in the first few days of spring, but from now on, the rising temperatures, longer days, and bright blue skies are finally putting us in the spring spirit. Nature is already beginning to bloom, and we're sure to soon notice that the sun and warmth are giving us more energy. The question now is what to do with all this new-found energy and how best to enjoy the beautiful spring months. You can get a little inspiration here in our spring bucket list. We've put together our top 10 things that are at the top of our to-do list this spring.

1.Prepare your home and garden/balcony for spring

We'll start with something not so pleasant: spring cleaning. We're all familiar with it, and it's one of those things we try to put off. But even if cleaning isn't your favorite activity, you'll be really proud of yourself after cleaning your apartment and house. Because unfortunately, the first rays of spring sunshine reveal the odd smudge on the window and the dust on the shelf that hasn't been cleaned in a while. Once the window is cleaned, the dust removed, and the apartment aired out, a fresher air and a lighter feeling literally blow through your home. Because when you create order, you also appear internally tidy. You immediately feel more balanced and happier. In doing so, you'll be laying the right foundation for a happy and relaxed spring.

2.Hunt for Easter eggs and have an Easter brunch

What's part of spring? Easter, of course! We're already looking forward to dyeing Easter eggs and having Easter brunch. Fingers crossed that the sun shines on Easter Sunday and we can have brunch on the balcony or in the garden. Carrot cake, braided bread, egg variations, freshly squeezed juices, and so on... – what can't you do without?

3. Make cards and write spring mail

Not just for Easter, but just because... Why not make some lovely spring-themed cards and send them to your friends? You don't have to be a crafting genius or write long texts; a beautiful, handmade card with a short spring greeting is enough to make your loved ones happy. There are plenty of great instructions online, and your friends certainly won't expect this kind gesture from you, so you can brighten their day with this spring post.

4.Take the first bike tour of the year

In spring, your bike comes out of the basement or garage and is prepared for the cycling season. On your first bike ride of the spring, a practical leather bike bag is a must for your newly refurbished bike!

5.Try a new recipe

New season, new recipes! Try a new recipe in your free time. Maybe make a delicious homemade lemonade to enjoy in the spring sunshine. Or bake an elaborate cake for Easter. How about a nut-flavored Zop instead of the "lockdown classic" banana bread? One of our favorites: springy gnocchi with wild garlic pesto. You can find more spring recipe ideas, for example, with rhubarb, on our Spring Feelings board on Pinterest. A matching leather apron is available in our shop 😊

6.Eat something delicious at a food truck

Since restaurants, cafés, and beer gardens are unfortunately still closed or only allowed to offer takeaway meals, we want to test out various food trucks this spring. Many of the trucks offer particularly unique dishes and meals—we love the culinary diversity. Especially when the weather is great, you can sit in the sun with your food and drinks. If you're lucky, there's a food truck near your work/university/school, and you can refuel with some energy and vitamin D in the midday sun during your lunch break.

7.Buy flowers and decorate the balcony or garden

“Every tree, every hedge is a bouquet of blossoms, and you want to become a ladybug so you can float around in the sea of ​​fragrances and find all your food.”

-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832)

As ladybugs, we may not be able to experience the beautiful flowers and blossoms, but we can still enjoy them. A beautiful bouquet of tulips from the local florist is a must for us in spring, and everyone with a balcony or garden should start planting flower and herb seeds.

8.Picnic

Definitely a weekend must-do! When the sun is shining, simply pack a few treats and snacks in a large bag, such as a leather shopper , and meet up with friends for a picnic in the park.

9. Do an outdoor photo shoot

A sunny spring day is perfect for packing your camera, going outside, and taking some beautiful photos. We're already planning our photo shoot in Munich, where we want to take beautiful pictures of our new products, including a women's leather bag . Stay tuned for the results! 😊

10. Simply enjoy your time a little more

The most important item on our spring bucket list, like all the best, comes last. In spring, we want to take more time to notice the good things in life and enjoy the time a little more. Bad news, stress at work, or bad weather often put us in a bad mood and have a more pessimistic attitude. As a result, we often don't notice many of the nice things and only complain about the things that bother us. Spring is the perfect time to leave the bad mood and the nagging behind and to enjoy even simple things like being with family or seeing nature in bloom. The warmer temperatures and bright sunshine are sure to help you be in a better mood and more optimistic. We already are, and we're looking forward to ticking off the items on our spring bucket list.

We wish you a fabulous spring with lots of beautiful weather and even more wonderful experiences!
