A new year means a new you, so that’s why. But that doesn’t mean abandoning the old you that got you to this point. Instead, think of the new year as a time of growth and pick up a brand new hobby. You don’t need to master a new language or start a business to experience growth. Your new hobby can be as big or small as you like. After all, the greatest growth happens in the smallest moments.

Whether you enjoy sports or the arts, 2024 has a ton of new hobbies waiting for you. Here are 10 deals that can help you create new habits. Save on LEGO kits, DIY jewelry making, Kindle Unlimited or ClassPass subscriptions, and more.

LEGO isn’t just for kids. If you’re looking to get in touch with your inner child in 2024, a premium kit can be a fun and rewarding new hobby. Not to mention, they can help you relieve stress and hone your mindfulness skills. You can build an orchid, a Vespa, various succulents, a retro Atari game console, and even a replica of Hokusai’s The Wave. LEGO kits have something to suit just about every interest, and Best Buy currently has a variety of LEGO kits on sale with up to 20% off.

If DIY queens and kings are looking for new outlets for their creativity in 2024, they should jump on the Cricut machine bandwagon (if they haven’t already). Cricut cutting machines like the Explore 3 allow crafters to make precise and intricate cuts in a variety of materials, including cardstock, vinyl, iron-on, cork, foam, and more. Customize t-shirts, make your own stickers and decals, maybe even start a side business selling all your creations. The Explore 3 normally sells for $319, but is on sale on Amazon for $279.

Make 2024 the year you finally start a meditation hobby. Apps like Headspace can help you establish a mindfulness practice, improve your sleep, reduce stress throughout the day, and even increase your productivity. It offers hundreds of guided meditations and mini exercises to help you cope with the craziness of the year ahead. There are some basics that everyone can use, and as far as hobbies go, meditation is one of the most rewarding. Save 40% on your first year with Headspace.

If you want to get more active this year in a really fun way, try picking up a pickle ball. It combines elements of tennis and table tennis to provide a challenging yet enjoyable sport for athletes of all ages. Even better, it only requires a court, a racket, and a ball. This Helium Chroma set comes with four fairly stylish beginner-to-intermediate racquets, four balls, and a carry-on carrying case. It regularly retails for $125 and is currently on sale for $69.99 on the Helium website. But if you buy it on Amazon, you can slash the price by 56% and pay just $55 starting January 3rd.

If you find yourself always spending too much money on candles, why not try making your own? Order a DIY candle making kit like this one from Bright Creations and get started.

This is equivalent to saving 32%. And, as a bonus, you can use your new piece as a gift for your next special occasion.

Journaling has some real health benefits, from improving memory to helping you process your emotions. But starting a journal from scratch can be a little daunting.
