Historically, Labor Day is a holiday created by the 19th-century labor movement to acknowledge the contributions and achievements of the American workforce. On a more practical level, Labor Day always signifies the last hurrah before summer’s end (which technically doesn’t end until September 22.)
So as you trade in your short shorts and sunscreen for denim and layers, it’s no better time than the present to plan how you will spend the long weekend. We’ve taken the guesswork out for you and compiled a list of ideas for how to spend your three-day weekend. Whatever you decide, make it fun and relaxing!
1. Plan a barbecue or picnic.
One of our favorite ways to spend time with friends and family is by hosting either a barbecue or picnic! If you’re planning on being by the grill all weekend, take your Phantom Chef Fry Pan to whip up tasty quesadillas, vegan corn risotto, and more. Planning a picnic? Bring your Uncommon James Cheeseboard to set up the cutest charcuterie board!
2. Go for a sunrise or sunset hike.
What better way to enjoy the last days of summer than taking in the great outdoors? Whether you go alone or with a friend, take yourself on a long hike. Queue up your podcasts or favorite songs, and pack your APL Athletic Propulsions Lab All-Purpose Packable Backpack with snacks, water, and SPF.
3. Host a game night.
Since you have an extra day off, stay up late and laugh the night away with friends. One great way to engage with everyone is playing card games, like the Talking Tables Trivia Box – Food & Drink. It’s perfect for the food and drinks lovers who are big on trivia or it can just be an excuse to get your guests talking and laughing.
4. Sleep in late.
Sleep in on Monday morning, then have breakfast in bed. Whether you make cinnamon rolls, frittata, or biscuits ‘n gravy, the possibilities are endless, especially when you use the Golden Rabbit Cobalt Swirl Small Dutch Oven.
5. Pamper yourself.
Use the long weekend to treat your skin and hair with extra TLC that you otherwise wouldn’t have time for. Do a face mask with the Purlisse Pumpkin + Ginger Mud Mask, extend your hair care routine, or massage your face. Whatever you do, make sure to do something that is relaxing and pampering because you deserve it!
