Experiential Gifts That Make Unique Presents

Experiential Gifts That Make Unique Presents


By Georgia Perry

No matter the occasion, unique gift experiences make thoughtful, exciting presents. When you give someone you care about a gifts experience, whether it's related to one of their interests or it's something new that you just know they'll love, your present is so much more than a traditional gift that comes wrapped in a box. The best experience gifts create fun memories, teach new skills, and bring out creativity in the recipient. 

If you're looking for the perfect gift to celebrate a friend who has just reached a milestone, or Christmas gift ideas for your family members that will bring them lasting joy well beyond the holiday season, unique gift experiences are the way to go. 

A gifting experience isn't only about the experience. At our arts, crafts, and cooking workshops, all the participants leave with a handmade takeaway that's a special memento of their time in class. When you combine a special, one-of-a-kind present with a fun and memorable experience, what's not to love? 

Check out these ideas for experiential gifts that make unique presents for a variety of occasions, and never give a boring gift again! 

Pizza making

When your family is spread out across the country, it's impossible to get everyone together for a meal. Or is it? With an online class on how to make pizza at home, everyone can make the same fun meal from scratch, and sit down for some shared conversation and laughs as you eat together at the end of class. Taught on Zoom, our online pizza making experiences make wonderful gifts for mothers who miss having their adult children all around the dinner table. So, next time you're searching for Christmas gift ideas for mom, think about doing a pizza class!

Looking for a unique graduation gift for a scholar who just put in tons of work on earning their degree? Booking them into creatively stimulating gift experiences, like beginning painting classes, can offer a refreshing change of pace. From paint and sip classes to abstract acrylic pouring, we have a wide range of painting classes that will suit anyone. In class, the special graduate will be able to make a unique painting that can become a signifier of this important phase of their life. And who knows? They might also discover their new favorite hobby! 

Resin art

If you have a friend who just moved into a new home, finding personalized gifts for her housewarming can be a challenge. You want your gift to be special, and that's where unique gift experiences come in. You can treat your friend to a DIY resin art class where she can learn how to make adorable resin drink coasters that resemble slices of different geodes. Not only will your friend get to create something beautiful and useful for her new home, but she'll also have a great time and develop some positive associations with her new space, which she'll remember every time she uses her coasters.

Baking classes

When you're looking for a gift that conveys just how special a friend is to you, gifting them a baking class where they can learn how to make cakes, cookies, or other mouthwatering treats is a wonderful way to show how much you care. With expert instruction, your friend can learn the secrets to making delicious desserts even if they have no baking experience at all. Looking for a gift idea for couples? Booking them into a baking class they can take together will create tons of happy memories and give them the chance to start a recipe book they can share as a couple.

Moss art

Does your dad love the outdoors? Gifting him a moss terrarium kit or a class for making moss wall art is a great way to encourage his passions. Dad can bring his love of the outdoors indoors and create a cool object to decorate his space with. When you're looking for birthday gifts for dad and you realize he already has everything he wants and needs, pivoting to unique gift experiences is a fantastic option. If you live in a different part of the country from your dear old dad and miss going on hikes with him, booking into an online moss wall art class is a great way to spend time together engaging with nature, even though you can't be together in person. 

Latte art

For a coffee-loving friend who always has the latest gadgets and best beans on hand, gifting the experience of a latte art class is a wonderful way to show that you care. Who isn't delighted by the sight of a beautiful design made from the foam on their latte when the barista hands it over to them? With a workshop focused on making these fun and attractive designs, your friend can take their coffee game to a whole other level. They will probably meet some like-minded coffee fanatics at class, too, which is one of the best gift experiences in and of itself!

Candle making

Nothing soothes the soul like a candle. While picking out a nice-smelling candle is always a classic gift, you can elevate this type of gift with a candle making workshop, either in person or online. If you have a friend or loved one who has just gone through a challenging time and you're looking for a special gift for her, consider gifting her the experience of learning how to make candles at home. Your friend can learn how to blend custom scents to create one-of-a-kind candles that reflect what she loves. Plus, you'll be introducing her to a new hobby!

Candle making classes

Sometimes, the best gift of all is time spend with your friends and family. Almost all of our arts, crafts, and cooking workshops feature an option where you can book them as private parties for groups. They make wonderful activities for Christmas gift ideas for families, as they give everything the chance to try out something new together. Or, if you're looking for a unique bridesmaid gift to thank your bridesmaids for throwing you such a fabulous bachelorette party, we're sure to have plenty of unique gift experiences that will strike your fancy.
