But, that doesn\u2019t mean that you can\u2019t give your kids one of the best Staycations ever.<\/p>\n<p>But, how do you (and your family) get excited about being home for the holidays? The key, according to Rioma Cominelli, Director of First Loyalty Plus is careful planning. \u201cThe anticipation of a holiday is often as exciting as the holiday itself. So start planning, now!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>She gives six staycation ideas for your best holiday at home yet:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1. <span>Take a break from routine:<\/span> A holiday offers a break from routine and your daily life. So, commit to no work, no chores, late nights, and sleep-ins.<\/p>\n<p>2. <span>Host Games night:<\/span> There\u2019s a reason why most hotels and resorts have group game activities \u2013 they\u2019re tried and tested and fun for everyone! You could download Bingo cards off the internet (for free), have a quiz night or a volley ball tournament \u2013 the list goes on! Invite your friends over and tease those competitive spirits with some cheap and cheesy prizes!<\/p>\n<p>3. <span>Day Visits:<\/span> No matter where you find yourself, there\u2019s usually a hotel or resort no more than an hour or two away. Give them a ring ahead of time to make sure they accept day visitors (almost all of First Group\u2019s Resorts do!) and enjoy the day soaking up the sun alongside the pool whilst the kids enjoy the smorgasbord of activities available. Going way for one or two nights is also a lot more affordable if you are a part of a loyalty programme, for example, First Loyalty offers up to 50% off accommodation.<\/p>\n<p>4. <span>Dine Out:<\/span> Food is such a big part of the holiday experience so treat yourself and your family to a meal out. Try a new restaurant and, if the budget is limited, opt for breakfast instead of lunch or supper. Alternatively, join a Loyalty programme \u2013 First Loyalty Plus Members get up to R120 cashback on the second most expensive main meal PLUS free coffee every time you buy one, at selected outlets countrywide.<\/p>\n<p>5. <span>Indulge in a spa day:<\/span> Turn your home into your own little oasis with a special and fun spa experience. Your manicure might be, er, interesting, but you might also get a kiddie-administered massage out of the deal. If your tribe draws the line at this type of personal pampering, check out your local spas for specials \u2013 First Loyalty members get 20% off all spa treatments at La Vida Spas countrywide.<\/p>\n<p>6. <span>Make a movie or go to a movie:<\/span> Give your device up for the noble art of movie-making. And then there\u2019s always the less dramatic option \u2013 First Loyalty members get up to 50% off movies, popcorn and cool drinks!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a preciously narrow window in childhood wherein you can make the very best memories with little or no money \u2013 seize those moments \u2013 for all other ages, there\u2019s First Loyalty where you can create the very best memories on a tight budget!\u201d concludes Rioma.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/contact\/featured\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/home-for-the-holidays\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\">Source: MyPR.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republish for Free Republish This Story Republish our articles for free, online or in print, under a Creative Commons license.
