Retailers and products specializing in pastimes are the focus of this part of our web guide.
Pastimes are leisurely pursuits people engage in to pass the time and enjoy themselves. Commonly done in one's spare time, these activities bring amusement, diversion, and pleasure. They make time pass more agreeably and provide a sense of relaxation.
While sports, games, and hobbies might be considered pastimes when entered into non-competitively or without a profit motive, we have more specific categories for these activities.
Examples of pastimes, for categorization, are visiting amusement parks, museums, or former battle sites, engaging in reading, trivia games, horoscopes, and jokes, as well as others that meet the description and aren't included in a more specific category.
This part of our directory is about shopping, and the focus is on products or online retailers specializing in products designed to promote or advance these pastimes.
