Stay Busy During Lockdown!

 

Staying busy and distracted during a lockdown can be hard. The first few days might seem like the ideal time to relax and unwind but after a couple of days of being stuck at home, it becomes hard to find something to stay entertained.

Here at The Base Warehouse, we are so thrilled to be able to provide our customers with the distraction and entertainment they need (& deserve!) during this rough time.
