Are we supposed to share our lists? I think it'd help me to see everyone else's ideas.
It's completely optional. Yes, it might help to share. Here are some of mine:

Take a walk outside on a nice day
Try a new recipe
Catch fireflies
Have a friend over for coffee
Read a good book
Call a friend
Attend book club
Water my plants
Snuggle my kids
Make the kids a fort with tables and blankets
Eat outside on a nice day
Go to the park
Play Scrabble
Take a bubble bath
Have a good conversation with my husband
Do something to help others
Listen to podcasts while working out
Lay in the sun
Take a nap in the middle of the afternoon

Well it's been about two hours and I've been racking my brain while I was cleaning house and getting ready for work this evening. So far, I have 46. Some are totally free while others are nearly free or require that you already have some items. I'll keep thinking while I'm at work and post later.
