Reviews from our gift recipients
Wendy Chang • Jan 2025
The vibe of this family owned coffee shop was very welcoming! The teacher is excellent, helpful and patient. We got to enjoy the drinks we designed and received a free gift and 20% off any item in the store. It was a lovely experience and highly recommend!
Chris Treadway • Jan 2025
We recently attended this craft cocktail class as a Christmas gift for our best friends, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish! Our instructor was not only engaging but also incredibly knowledgeable, making the process of crafting cocktails both fun and approachable. The setting was warm and inviting, creating the perfect atmosphere for learning and enjoying the evening.

The setting was warm and inviting, creating the perfect atmosphere for learning and enjoying the evening. After the class, we stayed for more drinks because we couldn’t get enough of the fantastic ambiance and expertly crafted cocktails. It was such a memorable way to spend time together, and we all walked away with new skills and a greater appreciation for mixology. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a unique and fun night out! + more

Such a fun time! Our facilitator was hilarious and provided clear instructions. I wish we were taught a bit more about the candle process after it is mixed. Otherwise, a fun class, dope space. I’m grateful for the 5$ gift card too! I got a smudge stick with mine

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.
Try DIY Christmas gifts this year and spread joy
Christmas present ideas don’t have to be about how much you spend. You can give thoughtful presents by choosing experience gift cards that cover kinds of fun and creative activities.
New York City has some of the most incredible experiences in the world and if you have a loved one who’s a sneakerhead, our shoe customizing class will impress even the most discerning shoe lover. This class lets you create your own designs on your favorite sneakers. You’ll be amazed at what you can come up with in just a single class and anyone can be proud knowing they’ve created something one-of-a-kind.
The holidays can get hectic, so any opportunity to slow down and indulge in a little self-care is a good idea. We have workshops for scented candle making, soaps, and body care. With a gift card, your loved ones can plan to make something personalized for their self-care rituals.
Need more reasons to choose an experience gift for Christmas? Whether it’s food, drink, crafts, or plants, you’ll find a creative workshop for everyone and make gift giving a breeze this year.
