The 8th of March in a few weeks is officially the National Day of Unplugging. What happens during this day? On this day we celebrate switching off (or unplugging), computer devices. This includes social media, tablets, phones, and computers. It sounds like a great idea doesn't it?

1. Unplug and engage offline activities.
2. Celebrate Unplugging Day with toys.
3. Choose indoor and outdoor options.

Unplugging Yourself From The Online World

You know how it feels like we're constantly glued to our screens? I mean, we're surrounded by gadgets 24/7 -- smartphones, laptops, tablets -- you name it. But what if I told you that there are actually so many benefits to going out and unplugging from technology?

For one, it can work wonders for our mental and physical health. Just imagine how reducing your stress levels, boosting your mood, and improving your focus and cognitive function could change your daily life. Oh, and let's not forget about the joy that comes with actually connecting with the people and world around us, instead of just staring at a screen all day.

And did you know that unplugging before bed can help you sleep better? Crazy, huh? Overall, taking a break from technology every now and then is something we should all try to do for our own wellbeing. So why not unplug, go outside, read a book, or work out? Your body and mind will thank you for it!

So what is the best way to spread the word to unplug your device? Using social media of course, and definitely through the use of more devices :). The hashtag has been created specifically for this event which is #NationalDayOfUnplugging. This event originates from the USA. However, the idea is such a good one; I reckon it should be taken up here in Australia as well.

Celebrate Unplugging Day with Promo Toys

It is a scary thought, but what would somebody do with their time, if no access was given to tablets, electronics, or mobile phones? I guess there is always talking right to friends and family, but why do talking when you can have some fun, engagement, and interaction with our range of promotional toys.

So if your organisation wishes to celebrate an Unplugging day, we have just the right products for you. Fun promotional toys, for both indoors and outdoors.
