In recent years more solo travelers and families have chosen to stay in their home country when going on holiday. This phenomenon is widely recognized as choosing to enjoy a “staycation”. Yet, it’s interesting to know that depending on who you ask, a staycation can mean multiple things.
For example, some people refer to a staycation as staying in their home while on holiday and participating in various fun activities within a day trip distance of their home. In contrast, other people believe a staycation to be a holiday booked anywhere within their home country, whether at a hotel, Airbnb, or self-catering chalet. Additionally, others view a staycation as being able to relax in the comfort of their home while doing all their favorite things.
Regardless of what you define a staycation to be, you should know that there are a few essentials you need. That’s why in our articles, we’re going to discuss 37 Amazon finds that are just the thing you should have on hand when you need a staycation. Many of these items are perfect for everyone’s definition of a staycation.
