Published on Sep 9, 2026
(SPOT.ph) Due for a digital detox? With all the analog trends and hobbies out there, it’s easy to feel lost about where to get started. Sure, you can ask your friends about the stuff they’re currently into, or you can keep tabs on analog-themed spaces, events, and activities to test the waters yourself.
One place to start: Fully Booked is bringing back Analog Fridays this September and October, giving you a chance to try your hand at crafting and other screen-free hobbies. Here's what you need to know.
Check out Analog Fridays at Fully Booked this September and October
ICYDK, Fully Booked regularly holds Analog Fridays at its Bonifacio High Street Branch. If you missed the last run, the bookstore is bringing it back on Fridays between September 11 and October 9, from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. So if you’re eager to switch from screen time to crafty time, mark your calendars and squeeze in some creative quiet time to slow down from your busy schedules.
Every Analog Friday run, Fully Booked turns Hub A at the 3rd Floor of its High Street Branch as a dedicated space for all things artsy and craftsy. So, with the kits and materials provided at the space, you can try your hand at journaling, scrapbooking, coloring, origami, and more.
Best of all, admission and use of materials are FREE for all visitors, on a first come, first served basis. There’s no program and attendees can come and go, but we recommend registering at bit.ly/FBAnalogFridays before going, just so you can view the full event guidelines and be guided accordingly.
Alternatively, you can bring your own art materials and work on your own creative projects. Just declare your supplies when you arrive so bookstore representatives can issue you a product pass.
