Gail Lennon • Aug 2024
took the workshop as a birthday gift for a friend, the teacher was very knowledgeable and engaging. The venue was intimate and in a secure building. That atmosphere was pleasant with nice music in the background. I liked learning how to create a fragrance and the different notes. The class was a great value for the money and I enjoyed hands on learning experience.

My daughter bought me a gift card for Christmas, to take a cooking class at the Kitchen Engine! It was so educational and fun!! The instructor was fun and easy to understand! The food was delicious! I will do more classes in the future!

Not just for doll enthusiasts or creatives, this wonderful class is for everyone! I didn't fancy dolls much as a child. I had a few but preferred to play with my bear stuffies instead. I didn't know about the magic that could be found in dolls. I have attended Peggy's wonderful workshop twice now. Both times I was swept up in the joy and freedom of play and creativity. Being a person who strugglesNot just for doll enthusiasts or creatives, this wonderful class is for everyone! I didn't fancy dolls much as a child. I had a few but preferred to play with my bear stuffies instead. I didn't know about the magic that could be found in dolls. I have attended Peggy's wonderful workshop twice now. Both times I was swept up in the joy and freedom of play and creativity. Being a person who struggles with embodiment, the bold colors, the soft textures, the soothing sounds of jazz in Peggy's workshop were all potent ingredients for a blissful two hours of meditative flow. I felt so much calm, ease and tranquility while creating my Stafford Dolls. In so many ways both dolls are mirrors into unknown areas of my psyche. I have learned so much about myself in the process of both creating and owning these beautifully crafted dolls. They sit adjacent to my desk and are ever present companions providing inspiration and comfort. Peggy is a masterful facilitator. She lovingly guides you through the entire creative process and you are in charge of every last lovely detail from the hair, to adornments, and clothing of the doll. I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone who would like to connect to themselves and others. This creativity through play is magical and I can not say enough wonderful things about the workshop. Thank you Peggy for providing us with this amazing experience! + more

I booked this class as a gift to my mom for her birthday. I was hoping for a fun interactive experience while also learning something new, and our teacher, Rosemary, delivered just that and more; The vibe of her studio, clearly laid-out materials and tools ready to use, and and easy to grasp instructions. Rosemary even went so far as to send the recipe and all the photos she took of us that day! TrulyI booked this class as a gift to my mom for her birthday.

Mom’s Review: My son totally surprised me with a macaron-making class from Rosemary for my birthday, and I enjoyed every single minute! Rosemary was beyond amazing—so warm, knowledgeable, and patient. She really inspired me in so many ways. It was such a fantastic experience! + more

Bladesmithing Class: Railroad Spike Knife
I booked this class as a birthday gift for my partner and am very glad I did. The class was AMAZING and this was due to our teacher being very knowledgeable, funny, patient, and passionate about blacksmithing. The venue was awesome and we were able to see so much creativity from the other people using the giant space. All of the materials were provided to cover making the blades as well as safety.I booked this class as a birthday gift for my partner and am very glad I did. The class was AMAZING and this was due to our teacher being very knowledgeable, funny, patient, and passionate about blacksmithing. The venue was awesome and we were able to see so much creativity from the other people using the giant space. All of the materials were provided to cover making the blades as well as safety. We learned how to take a railroad spike and make it into a knife and it was more fun than I imagined it would be. It felt like going behind the curtain and a little back in time. I loved that we got so much time working with the materials and tools and I would ABSOLUTELY take this class again. + more

Terrarium Workshop: Sip and Plant
Came here with my BFF as a birthday gift and it was great! Loved that the terrarium glass was large and of good quality.

Cake Decorating Workshop in San Francisco
My husband and I had the funnest time at Olesia's cake decorating class! We attended a full class of about 15 or 16, but Olesia made sure to go around the class to give everyone some attention and pointers each step of the way. The class was set up perfectly - from the tools, the buttercream, the cake, and even the snacks and drinks.

It was our first time decorating cakes and we would recommend this to anyone interested in trying their hand at it. We were very happy with our vintage style mini cakes and got a ton of compliments on our way home with them. We used a gift card given to us as a wedding gift and it was easy to use at checkout. + more
Christmas Experience Gift Ideas NYC
Why experience gift cards make the best gift ideas
We get it. It’s not always easy to find just the right gift for all of the important people in your life. With gift cards, you can set them up for a fabulous time doing something they love or finding a new passion.
Maybe you have a group of friends you haven’t seen for a while. You can give each friend a gift card and plan a cocktail party by taking a NYC mixology class together. All you have to do is show up and your instructor will take care of the rest. Mixologists at some of the city’s most exciting bars will teach you how to make creative new drink recipes with all the ingredients and supplies ready when you arrive. Maybe you’ll invent your own signature cocktail!
If you’re looking for a group event for the foodies in your life, experience gift cards give you access to NYC baking classes that will bring out the Mary Berry in anyone. Expert bakers will lead the way, whether you want to learn how to make French macarons or decorate a cake that’s Instagram-ready.
Christmas gift cards to inspire creativity
Finding Christmas present ideas isn’t always easy, especially if you’re looking for something beyond the usual scarf or box of chocolates. If you’ve given a scarf to a knitwear lover, why not treat him to a knitting class? They can choose the time and location that works best for them and you’ll feel good knowing that you chose a present they’ll get a lot of mileage from.
Know someone who adores dessert? We have chocolate making classes in NYC that are immersive experiences. Imagine spending a couple of hours with the scent of chocolate surrounding you as you learn all about how it’s produced and learning how to make truffles, bonbons, and more. It’s the ultimate treat for chocolate lovers!
If you are planning a team building event, gift cards will help you give your colleagues something they will love. Instead of the same old team engagement party, you can give them a hands-on workshop they’ll get excited about. Plan a pizza making class with your group and have a blast making and stretching dough, picking your toppings, and firing up your creation in a pizza oven. You’ll love the time spent outside work, enjoying wine, and eating amazing NYC pizza.
