Hobbies

Got a spark for something fun? At Designer Don, our Hobbies category is your playground for fueling passions and picking up new pastimes that make free time fly. Whether you’re casting a line into a quiet lake, tinkering with model trains in the basement, or strumming a guitar on the porch, we’ve got ideas to keep you hooked. From the rugged outdoors of the Rockies to cozy craft rooms in the suburbs, we’re here for every American looking to unwind or dive deep into what they love.

Explore beginner guides—like how to start birdwatching with just binoculars—or level up with pro tips for photography, woodworking, or even brewing your own beer. We’ll spotlight trending hobbies shaking up the US (think urban beekeeping or vintage car restores) and share stories from hobbyists who’ve turned downtime into mastery. Need gear? We’ve got recs for the best tools and setups that won’t break the bank. Whether you’re chasing adrenaline or calm, solo or with friends, let’s find the hobby that lights you up and get started!
