Searches for “fancy non-alcoholic drinks” are up 220 percent on Pinterest, “mocktail bar” up 75 percent, and “fancy ice cubes” up 75 percent, proving that people are putting more thought and intention into their sips. Thankfully, delicious mocktails, lighter spritzers, and low-ABV drinks are more popular than ever so it’s easy to find recipes and order something tasty at the bar without feeling left out. Plus, trendy zero-proof spirits, non-alcoholic wine, and booze-light or -free aperitif brands are a dime a dozen these days. In other words, we’re basically in the Golden Age of drinking less, but enjoying it more. People are also channeling their tangled thoughts and feelings into tactile arts and crafts—no screens in site. How-to searches for paper rings, paper mache, paper animals, quilling art, and origami are a few of the most popular. “A desire to digitally detox drives this paper art trend,” notes the Pinterest report. “People are looking for ways to switch off and unwind, and they’ve found a therapeutic outlet in the analog. It’s a mindful art form that’s imaginative and inclusive to a mix of ages.”
