If you want your gift to stand out, give your friend, partner, or family member one of these unique gift experiences! From craft workshops to cooking classes, there is a gift experience for everyone on your list. 

There are so many special occasions that incite gift-giving, and we want to make sure you’re ready with thoughtful gift ideas at a moment’s notice. We offer classes perfect for any occasion and event. Whether you want to throw a surprise cocktail-making party, are looking for unique gift ideas for couples, or want to treat a friend to a day to themselves, we’ve got you covered. 

These classes are catered to beginners so your gift recipient has no reason to feel overwhelmed or intimidated by their gift. These classes are meant to be accessible, casual, and fun for all. To ensure you’re in good hands, the class will be taught by an expert in their craft. 

Not only will your gift recipient enjoy a fun experience, but they’ll also leave with new skills and maybe even a handmade takeaway depending on the class. If you’re not sure where to start, then take a look at this list. Unsure which might be the favorite? You can always give them a gift card instead, and they can choose their own creative adventure.

Create meaningful momentos in pottery classes

Do you have a crafty friend or family member? Or maybe you’re looking for creative wedding gift ideas? Try a pottery class. These hands-on pottery workshops are interactive and relaxing. You can learn hand-building techniques and create some beautiful matching bowls or try your hand at wheel throwing and learn to make pottery like a pro. By the end of class, you’ll have a beautiful handmade takeaway and maybe even be inspired to pursue pottery as your new hobby.

Pottery classes are a great gift for couples because they encourage them to spend quality time together. They are also able to create something creative and original. Maybe they’ll work together to craft a ceramic dinner set, or maybe they’ll take a more playful approach with hand-sculpted mugs to trade with each other. 

Cocktail-making classes make the best surprises

Are you looking to throw the ultimate surprise party for your partner or best friend? We have some great birthday party ideas for adults! Instead of going out for drinks and buying the birthday person and their party a round of drinks, get the party started with a cocktail-making class. These cocktail-making classes are also great for teams, you can celebrate a milestone or employee birthday with a twist this year. Make the meeting worth attending with an interactive activity and some spirits. 

In your cocktail-making class, you will learn how to make tasty drinks with your favorite flavors and liquors. You’ll be able to take these new skills home with you and impress all your friends at your next cocktail party at home. This easy-going experience will be a crowd-pleaser even if you have a diverse group of people. There are always mocktail options available so that everyone can participate in the fun.

With these classes and workshops, you also have many virtual options. If you have friends and family far away or you have a work-from-home office, you can still connect over an engaging activity from the convenience of your own home. You’ll receive a cocktail-making kit delivered to your door, all you have to do is log on to Zoom at the scheduled time, and soon enough, you’ll all be sipping delicious beverages together.

Make something unique with a resin art kit

Craft kits are great for people without a lot of time. They’ll be able to do their craft whenever they chose and at their leisure. With these beautiful resin kits, you can jump on the latest trend in handmade jewelry. This fluid art not only makes beautiful resin jewelry, but you can also learn to make resin coasters and much more. After this class, you’ll surely have some gorgeous creations to show off. Searching for more crafty unique gift experiences? We have so many to choose from here!

Try something new with a terrarium-building class

While terrarium kits come with a little bit of necessary DIY, you don’t need to be a craft extraordinaire or green thumb to make these fun projects. If you want to play it safe, a terrarium building class is an ideal gift. With a few easy steps, you’ll be able to build a beautiful encased garden. You might learn basic sand art or landscape design, but the small scale of it all will make it accessible and fun! 

Terrariums use self-sufficient or low-maintenance plants, so you don’t need to worry about surprising anyone with a big commitment. These terrariums will simply add some color and life to your space. With a DIY terrarium, you can get creative or minimalist as you would like. Try a zen theme or create an ocean oasis with a beach theme. Once you’re finished, you’ll have a wonderful slice of the outdoors to brighten up your space. 

Try a baking class to celebrate any occasion 

We’re not suggesting you make the birthday person bake their own cake, but they might love learning a few new tricks in a baking workshop! From cookie decorating and chocolate making to vegan desserts or bread baking classes. There are so many baking and dessert classes to choose from, it might be hard to narrow it down. 

Baking is also a great way to unwind. By gifting someone a baking class, you’ll allow them to make time for themselves to do something relaxing and creative. They might not realize it at first, but baking can be a creative outlet that can help you recharge. 

Baking classes are also great for groups. Maybe you want to throw an intimate party for some close friends or family. You can all spend a casual and fun day in the kitchen learning something new and finish the day off with a tasty and rewarding dessert.
