Girlsday: 10 fun things to do with your girlfriend

Yes, going shopping all the time can get boring at some point. There are so many more fun things you can do with a friend, right? We think so too. Whether you want to do something sporty or just relax: you must try these 10 girls' day ideas.
Being creative
Yes, we are getting totally crafty. Are you up for some handiwork? Then you will definitely enjoy these activities:
Making jewelry at La Jewelista (Leiden)
Are you a jewelry freak or do you just want to do something more creative than sitting on the terrace? Then you are in the right place. You and your friend (and maybe others) are sitting at a table that could have been on your Pinterest board. With flowers, candles, and delicious snacks, the decor is perfect. And then you are going to do something fun. First, you will choose various charms that you want to add to your necklace, bracelet, or earrings. With a pink pliers in hand, you will learn how to attach these charms to your jewelry. Cute, right?

Making candles at The Very Goods Studio (Amsterdam)
Do you love to sniff every candle at TK Maxx? Then take a look here. At the Very Goods Studio you will learn all the ins and outs to make your own scented candle. Find your own signature scent by getting to know fragrances and blending them into your mix. It may seem like a chemistry lesson, but did you get your own scented candles there? No, so don't worry: it's easy and fun.

Create a flower arrangement at Mon Pioen (Amsterdam)
Yes… Another workshop. Who wouldn't want to receive a beautiful flower bouquet? I think everyone – at least I do. How fun is it to learn how to arrange flowers together with your friend? Your hands will smell nice and you will learn a skill that you can use for the rest of your life. Even if it's just for yourself, or to surprise your friends with your beautiful creations. In the lesson, you will learn about different flowers, how to best combine them, and how to create the most beautiful bouquet using a special technique.
Activities to do that you might not think of right away
Do you find workshops cliché? This is even cooler to do, and you have something to brag about:

Picnic tour in a vintage car at Classic Wheels (Utrecht)
A vintage fiat and picnicking, what sounds more fun? Especially now that it's still sunny, this is the perfect time to do this activity together. Rent a vintage car at Classic Wheels and choose the picnic tour. They will map out the perfect route for you along beautiful spots – where there is room to stop by the terrace – that ultimately lead to the X on the treasure map: your picnic spot. Super, right? It's cozy and you can take the most beautiful photos for your Instagram.

Get sporty
You don't have to just sit still. It can also be more active.
Waves against your bestie at Komaen (Oirschot)
Combining a workout with something fun is definitely possible. It's even more fun with a friend. Picture this: the sun is shining, you're in your cutest yoga pants and you're playing Pitch & Putt. And no panic: you don't have to be a golf master from Stick to do this. You play on a smaller course with shorter holes. It's a competition, so put on your sports leggings and go for it. Are you going to win against your friend? Oh, and some good news: for €30.50 you can play for 3.5 hours and get a lunch.

Bungee fit class at Bungee Angel (Amsterdam)
This is an activity that you can easily combine into your busy life. Invite, or drag, your friend to the gym and have some fun, will ya? Because this is not an ordinary workout. You are attached to an elastic band from the ceiling, which means you are literally hanging in the air (you can still touch the ground with your feet, though). You start the class with a warm-up, after which you will do various exercises. It's about working out and having fun. Treat your sporty girls to a matcha afterwards and see: you really belong to the Charlie’s Bungee Angels.
Eating and drinking remains a favorite activity
Don't feel like doing all those active things? We understand that. Life is so busy, if you've worked all week, you might not feel like golfing or driving around in a car. That's okay, we have gathered some options for that too.

High tea and horses at horseandhightea (Dorst)
Delicious sandwiches, sweet pastries that make your teeth fall out, and liters of tea: a high tea is always a hit. But if you've done this together before, then you're ready for something different. In Dorst, they have come up with something: go for the Horse ‘n Hightea. First, you can pet, cuddle, and even walk through the arena with the horses. Then you can relax with some tea and stuff yourself with food while enjoying the view of the arena and the horses. This isn't for everyone, but it's definitely cozy.

Dinner with a show at Supperclub (Amsterdam)
Just going out to eat is passé. We want drama. “More passion, more energy.” Okay, seriously. If you want to sit back, eat, and still experience a lot, you need to reserve this now. At the Supperclub, there are so many things you can do: it doesn't stop. Enjoy a roaring twenties show while sipping a cocktail or enjoy the other themes that change every time. Besides dinners, there’s something else that the Supperclub does great (and no, this is not an ad!). They organize movie nights where you can plop down on the softest couch to watch a movie while enjoying dinner. Prefer to lie down? Then there are cozy beds.

Self-care is good for a friendship
If you prefer to stay far away from a bungee workout or candle making, then you’re lucky you scrolled this far. Take a deep breath and relax, because you’re going to do that more. Relaxing is proven to be good for your friendship, so find your girls' day a bit more peaceful.

Enjoy a private spa at Elita Spa (Zoetermeer)
Going to the sauna can be done everywhere, but can you sit on your towel without any side eyes at all those places? No, not really. That’s why a private spa is amazing. Here you and your friend can chat freely without disturbing anyone and you’ll probably feel more comfortable in your bikini, or in the nude. Jump into that hot tub and close your eyes. This is you-time.

Wellness in nature at Landgoed de Valkenberg (Rheden, Arnhem)
The ultimate relaxation day is found in nature. Something about it seems to calm us… What could that be? Well, we don’t have time for complicated life-changing issues: you want to chill. And you do that well here. In white bathrobes you parade this house on the edge of the Veluwe. There’s a salt stone sauna, outdoor shower, swimming pool, rainfall treatment, and a garden with a view of nature where you can lie down. That sounds like a dream, and it is. For a long day of relaxation, you go here.
So. That was quite a list. I’ve racked my brain hard to gather the best outings for you, so write them down and go do it. Then my effort was also good for something. Have fun, girls.
