Here are 15 fun hobby ideas for women you can start without spending a ton of money and time.
So, I am a part of many facebook groups and I often see people helping each other out, giving ideas, vent and sometimes even sharing their personal stories. As an introvert, I never felt comfortable enough to post any of my stories but I thought I might ask some questions that not only help me but also help people who are reading my blog.
So I went ahead and asked what hobbies are the most popular among people and what they prefer to do in their free time and I have gathered 15 ideas that were mentioned the most.
These also gave me some ideas that I will look forward to in this upcoming year in 2025. I hope you get some inspiration and ideas too.
Here we go!
15 Fun Hobby Ideas for Women (Affordable To Start)
1) Paddle Boarding
Paddle boarding is a fun and relaxing hobby that’s great for you if you love or want to be outdoors and near water. It’s all about standing (or kneeling) on a large board and using a paddle to move yourself across the water. It’s like a mix between surfing and kayaking, but much calmer.
2) Reading
What’s great about reading is that you can do it anywhere like at home, in a cozy cafe, or even while traveling.
It’s also super flexible; you can read a page or two when you’re short on time, or get completely lost in a book for hours when you’re in the mood.
You can get physical books or audible subscriptions and start with these 10 life changing books.
3) Writing
I was surprised to see how many people practice writing as a hobby. Whether it is writing poems, stories or even journaling. It can be an awesome hobby to start in 2025 and express yourself.
If you want to start writing about your everyday life (journaling), I have tons of journal prompts to help you (Check here).
4) Games
After a busy, tiring day I love to play some online games with my friends. It is relaxing and makes me improve my mood (and honestly helps me forget my problems for some time).
There are options to play in-person games and if you are far away, video/online games can be great too.
Here are some ideas to try
1) Card Games
2) Video games
3) Online games
4) Outdoor games
5) Roller Blading
Roller blading is fun and a great full-body workout activity too. You can try it with friends and get social.
6) Collecting seashells
Many people like to collect and make jewelry from seashells. You can try to see if that’s something you would love to do.
PS- You never know if it is for you until you give it a try.
7) Getting into self improvement
This is another great hobby idea for all of us. While it can be fun and exciting, sometimes we make it so serious and get stuck in it. Practicing self improvement as a hobby means you are up to challenge yourself, getting out of your comfort zone and doing new things while exploring yourself.
This blog is all about self improvement. I’d recommend doing a quick life audit and see which part of your life needs improvement and start accordingly.
8) Dance
Do you want to get social and make some new friends as well? Well, joining your nearest dance club can help you do that. You can explore styles like hip-hop, ballet, salsa, contemporary, or even freestyle.
9) Learning to makeup
This is my current hobby that I am learning. I have to admit that I have never been good with makeup but always wanted to learn so I can do my own makeup when needed.
There has been also some limited beliefs I had related to makeup that I had to get rid of (like shame and every time I tried to do makeup it made me feel like I am trying to be someone I am not which hold me back for the longest time) But now I am getting into it and not worrying about the rest of the things.
So if you are anything like me, you are not alone and you can work on your limiting beliefs too.
Here are some youtube creators I am loving so far:
2) Ali Andrea
10) Lego
LEGO is a super fun and creative toy. They are made up of colorful plastic bricks that you can snap together to build almost anything!
Each brick has little bumps (they are called studs) that fit perfectly into other bricks, so they stay connected and are easy to take apart when you want to build something new.
11) Journaling
The thing about journaling is, it can be a great hobby or a chore pretty fast. When I started journaling, it was as a hobby but trying to stay consistent at it made me feel like it is a chore that I have to do and I was losing interest.
This is also a reason I always say that it is not needed that you have to do it every day. I write in my journal a couple of times a week and it’s been working great for me.
PS- Also play around with aesthetic journals, good quality, colorful pens and stickers.

12) Roller Skating
Another outdoor hobby idea. If you want to start roller skating, here is a full guide on how to start.
13) Drawing
The thing is we love the idea of drawing but we are not an expert in it. Most of us are at least not so even though we know we will enjoy this, we never start.
But there’s no one watching you and you can draw literally anything you want.. You can watch some youtube videos to get inspiration and learn some tricks.
And I am sure you are not that bad as most of us think in our minds so just start.
14) Crocheting
Crocheting is another fun and creative hobby idea where you use a special hook and yarn to make all kinds of things like blankets, scarves, or even little toys. It’s like knitting, but instead of using two needles, you use just one hook to loop the yarn into beautiful patterns.
Here is how to start step by step.
15) Rock Climbing
Another outdoor hobby idea but Rock climbing is more than just a hobby I’d say (just like anything mentioned above) it’s an experience that requires physical strength, mental focus, and sometimes a love for nature.Â
It’s about challenging yourself, figuring out how to move your body and feel accomplished.
So, that was 15 most popular hobby ideas I could find and share. I hope it will help you find something that you enjoy doing. If you need a more detailed post on hobby ideas: Check out 52 hobby ideas that will also make money!
