Relaxing Staycation Essentials

It’s been six months now that our lives of constant hustle and bustle have been put on pause. With all the stay-at-home orders and mandatory quarantines, many of us have shifted our mindsets for travel for the safety (and unparalleled comfort) of our own homes.

While it may not be forever, staycations are the new European vacations, so we’ve rounded up some of the things that have taken our time at home to the next level.

Here are some of our favorite Staycation Essentials…

Our Place ‘Dinner for 4’ Set

While restaurants are currently back open for outdoor dining and indoor dining ordinances are slowly being lifted, many are preferring to stay at home and utilize their newfound cooking skills. And hands down, there’s no better way to hone in on your inner master chef than with Our Place’s Always Pan. It’s non-stick (like literally all it takes is a quick rinse and it’s good-to-go), and is designed to replace 8 traditional pieces of cookware. It can braise, sear, steam, strain, saute, fry, and boil and will replace your fry pan, saute pan, steamer, skillet, saucier, saucepan, non-stick pan, spatula, and even your spoon rest. The Dinner for 4 set comes with 4 hand-painted, porcelain plates and matching bowls with hand-blown stackable glasses made from recycled glass and natural sand. It’s the perfect set that brings an elevated sense of class to your kitchen table.

State Cashmere’s Matching SeTS

Because it should be your #1 priority to feel comfortable (and stylish) when you’re vacationing at home, you’ll want to live in State Cashmere’s loungewear. Their cashmere knitted set is made with 100% Inner Magnolian Cashmere and is just lightweight enough that it will keep you warm as the sun goes down, but not too hot because we’re in California and it’s most likely not going to snow (however, the way 2020’s going, you never know). Either way, a little cashmere is always a good — and cozy — idea. 

Alohas Slippers

While you’re lounging in your stylish loungewear you’ve got to make sure your feet are up to par. We’re obsessed with ALL the footwear by this Barcelona brand… but especially their Marshmallow Black Leather slippers. A perfect introduction to fall, these sandals are lined with wool that will keep your feet warm while still giving you the freedom of a summer sandal. Alohas’ on-demand program ensures responsible shopping and sustainable production. By offering their shoes pre-order they know exactly how many to produce, ensuring there is no overstock and that their customers are receiving the best price possible for the premium quality. (We’re also obsessed with their Harley Suede clogs which are lined with shearling and are another perfect pick for house lounging.)

Finn & Co Candles

You live at the beach, so pair your open windows with a Finn & Co candle for a perfect beach day at home. These black and white sand fragranced candles capture the essence of the slow rolling ocean with double dancing flames floating in amber glass. Soy-based, paraben/phthalate/and cruelty-free they glow for 55 hours and will fill your home with scents of honeysuckle, mandarin, and a touch of sea salt.

Bearaby Weighted Blankets

Perfect for lounging on the couch (or a hammock) Bearaby’s weighted blankets combine science with comfort to improve sleep cycles and lower stress and anxiety levels. With three different weight options based on personal needs and preferences (15, 20, and 25 pounds), Bearaby teamed up with The Hyppo to create the Napsicle, a summer collab that helps promote a chain reaction in the body that can release an overall sense of calm and peace for a relaxed mind and body state. Sustainable, with bright colors and a contemporary design, Bearaby has zero artificial filling or toxic materials, making it the most eco-friendly and all-natural choice within the marketplace.

Mylle Pool

If you’re eager for a water day but don’t want to face the overly crowded beaches, try one of Mylle’s uber stylish pools. The first inflatable pool created using interior design principles instead of reinterpreted kid themes, it has become an instant icon and a favorite prop of Instagram. Made with vinyl, it’s made of durable heavyweight vinyl which will stand the test of time and will last for many pool parties… whether you’re a kid, a dog, or an adult on a permanent backyard staycation. (Aka: us.)
