The day only has 24 hours. Of these, at least eight should be spent sleeping (for your own good) and another large part is spent working, studying, solving puzzles, and running around. Still, it is essential to set aside time for leisure and for the people special to you. We talk about quality time, because even if you even live with or see your relatives often, for example, it doesn’t mean that you spend quality family time with them. Being present requires more than sharing the same space. Check out our suggestions for making the most of it.

1. Prepare a meal together

They say that the best times are had around the table. However, the fun extends to meal preparation. Get the family together in the kitchen and get to work. Whether it’s a casual snack or a gala dinner, choose the recipes and divide up the tasks. Crank up the music, put on your funniest aprons, and roll up your sleeves. Everyone can participate!

While you’re cooking snacks and telling stories, open a bottle of Mandriola White to keep the conversation going.

2. Get the board games out of the drawer

Here is a homemade proposal that pleases kids and adults alike. From Monopoly to Party & Co, Cluedo, Pictionary or the traditional games of cards, checkers or dominoes, there is no monotony that can resist a family game.

You can see Dad drinking his glass of red wine in frustration because he is losing, and Mom and Auntie toasting with white wine, in a joking tone. The children, who always understand the rules first, will try to explain them to grandma. Some are more competitive than others, but they all play along.

3. Theme Night

Here’s a bold idea. To totally get out of the routine why not organize a theme night? There are themes for all tastes: cultures and countries (Mexico, Italy, China, India), decades (from the 20s to 2000), series or movies, and so on.

In addition to the dress code, the decoration, the music, and the snacks served must also do justice to the theme. All that is needed here is a good dose of creativity. It will certainly be one of those good family moments to remember many times. Anyone not in the spirit is a bad egg!

4. Karaoke session with earplugs

Have the grandparents singing popular music, the uncle enchanting with a ballad and the kids accompanying the songs with the viral dances of TikTok… all this happens in an innocent Karaoke session. Just put the instrumentals on Youtube and you’re done! But if you have some microphones, it gets even more fun.

To warm up your voice, you can always use a glass of red wine. Fill the glasses of those who are more inhibited so that they can let their voices out and take a chance on the higher notes. More than perfect pitches, what you want is a good laugh.

5. Gather for the “news wheel”

How many interesting things end up falling by the wayside? Gather the family around the table or sit in a circle on the rug or in chairs. Each person has to tell a new story or talk a little about some topic, feeling, or event that he or she considers relevant. Some speeches may deserve a toast, so it’s best to be safe and have a glass of Mandriola at hand!

The conversation can then flow into an exchange of opinions and advice on the topic in question. This way you can keep track of what’s going on in each other’s lives. After all, family is the greatest support network we can have!

Collecting memories with family and friends (who are the family we choose) should be a priority in your life. They are essential to feeling happy and fulfilled on a daily basis. It is with these people, who you can count on in all situations, whether to play a board game or to vent about more serious things that it is important to strengthen ties. On these special occasions, choose a wine that harmonizes so well with all these good family moments – choose Mandriola!
