Cozy Days - Issue #1
Look at all this cozy stuff!
The concept of cozy is a whole vibe. It’s something that appears in media, video games, art, and places. I’d like to welcome you to Cozy Days, a little newsletter of everything cozy and wholesome that we’ve bumped into recently. Each issue we’ll be bringing you a collection of cozy things, for those that enjoy a cozy aesthetic.
Video Games that Caught our Eye
Spirit City: Lofi Sessions - Cozy Kitchen DLC
Part game, part focus tool, Spirit City: Lofi Sessions is a soothing game where you can watch your avatar do activities in various cozy spaces, while lofi music plays. It’s whole goal is that it can be used to help ease stress and bring about good vibes. There are different ways to customise the game, from locations to pets, to changing your avatar. They’ve just released a DLC called Cozy Kitchen, which brings about a new set of pets and a new location.
Bookbinding
Bookbinding is currently in the Playtest phase, which you can play ahead of the full release if you request access. In it, you’re given a bunch of books by customers, who each have specific styles that they vibe with. You can use stickers and corners, creating your own details on the cover. It’s up to you to decide how to decorate them, with lots of customisation options, allowing you to make things bigger or twist them around.
Cottonville
Cottonville is an open-world, farming and clothing game where you can play as adorable avatars, to speak to others in the town, purchase clothing, craft items, farm and much more. Currently on Kickstarter, this chibi-inspired game feels super cozy.
Stuff that feels Cozy
LEGO Botanicals Happy Plants
LEGO just released the Botanicals Happy Plants, which have their own little faces and look like they are holding hands! They feel less serious then previous LEGO Botanicals, making them a fun activity and great decoration for your home.
Tiny Farm Pals
This crossover between Polly Pocket and Stardew Valley is absolutely adorable. Tiny Farm Pals is a Stardrop shaped village, that holds a bunch of scenes from Stardew Valley inside. Although it’s not official Stardew Valley merch, it’s absolutely one worth pre-ordering now.
Skeletal System Hooded Jacket
These pastel Skeletal System Hoodies come in Lilac, Sunflower, Clover, Hydrangea and Sakura themes - and even a less cozy black and white. They have little flowers on them, and the fabric is quite cozy as well. Perfect for the oversized hoodie look!
Cozy Place to Visit
Artbox Cafe in Brighton
With its current theme of My Melody x Kuromi, The Artbox Cafe in Brighton is always decorated to be vibrant and perfect for pictures. They do not currently offer a sit-down food menu, but do have a tea menu, where you can order a selection of teas and ice creams. You can also purchase a bunch of Sanrio merch while there too. This theme is only there for a limited time!
