When travel is limited (and even when it’s not!), a staycation allows you to appreciate where you are and take a break from work, life, and stress.

It might be a trendy name, but it just symbolizes slowing down, taking a minute, and planning activities that make you see your home in a different light. It doesn’t need to be fancy, and it doesn’t need to cost anything.

We talked to our store managers to get their favorite ideas on how to plan a staycation.
