"After years of doom-scrolling and living life online, many people are more than ready to log off. That often means crafting, reading, and journaling - all hobbies that are likely strewn around your house as we speak. To keep all these materials organized, TikTok recommends storing them in an "analog bag." In general, all things analog are big for 2026. Instead of always reaching for tech like your phone, laptop, TV, streaming music, etc. - it feels grounding to dabble in all things non-digital,"
"TikTok's analog bag trend encourages you to find the tangible items you enjoy and toss them in a designated bag. That way, the next time you're tempted to scroll or watch the same show for five hours straight, you can reach for the bag and pull out different forms of entertainment, as well as all the non-techy items that make life feel real again."
An analog bag stores tangible, non-digital items—books, paper planners, journals, Polaroid camera, and craft projects—to replace phone use and reduce screen time. The trend encourages assembling favorite analog hobbies into a designated bag for easy access when tempted to scroll or binge-watch. Keeping materials in analog form lowers the likelihood of reaching for a device and interrupts long scrolling sessions. The bag also serves as a physical reminder to curb digital habits and offers alternative entertainment that feels grounding. The movement aligns with a broader 2026 shift toward non-digital, tactile experiences that prioritize presence and creativity.
