Welcome to HobbyScoop

We started HobbyScoop out of something simple: our family’s love of spending time together. It began with board games at the kitchen table, finding ways to include our young kids in play that felt meaningful, fun, and a little bit magical.

From there, it grew into Lego builds that took over the living room, family travels where the journey was just as exciting as the destination, and a curiosity to explore other hobbies that sparked joy for us and could for others too.

At HobbyScoop, we believe hobbies are more than just pastimes. They’re how we connect—with ourselves, with the people we love, and with the world around us. They remind us why we work so hard in the first place: to create space for joy, for laughter, for creativity, and for the kind of memories that last.

Our blog exists to make that easier for you. Whether you’re introducing your kids to their first board game, searching for the best Lego sets for a collector, planning your next trip, or looking for the perfect gift, we’ve tested, compared, and collected ideas to help you choose.

Sometimes that means recommending products through our affiliate partners, but at the heart of it, it’s about guiding you toward hobbies that will bring more happiness into your home.

We also know life isn’t all about getting “off screens.” Sometimes screens are part of the fun—video games, devices, or digital hobbies can be just as rewarding. Our goal is not to tell you how to spend your time, but to give you inspiration and tools to spend it well.

So whether you’re here for a new passion, a fresh family tradition, or simply a way to unwind after a long week, welcome. You’ve got a lot of hobbies to choose from, and we’re here to help you find the ones that will make your life a little brighter.
