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.

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.

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.

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. The kit had everything we needed and there was a decent variety of plants to choose from at our table. I really appreciated that they had a snack and drinks table (was not expecting that!) and the hosts were very friendly and patient.

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.

We used a gift card given to us as a wedding gift and it was easy to use at checkout. + more
Best Gifts for Dad

These presents can make him feel special because you can choose them based on his interests. This personalized touch will mean more to him than a random gift card.
Even though your dad has been by your side since day one, it can still be challenging to show your appreciation. With gift experiences for dad you can spend a day together and connect over a fun activity with ease. Memories created in a workshop will last far longer than any material item.

Vegan Chinese Cooking Class with Graceful Kitchen, Richmond, CA
“My sister and I booked this class for us and our dad as a Christmas gift for him. It was a great gift for a hard to shop for person. We got to spend time together and learn at the same time! Grace was a great teacher and host. 10/10 would book again.” - Mia

Your guide to good dad presents
Swap out common gift ideas for these unique dad presents! These experience gifts for dad will leave a pleasant surprise on his face and maybe even a chance for you to join in on the fun.
Gift a leather working class instead of a wallet…We know dads are often the last to replace their worn accessories. Rather than gifting the same wallet again, a leather working class where he can create his own will add a personal touch! This will make for much more meaningful gifts for dad where he can feel a sense of pride having created a functional accessory with his own two hands.
Gift a mixology class instead of a bottle of whiskey… Gift your dad the opportunity to make use of his dusty liquor cabinet with a cocktail making class! He can learn delicious cocktail recipes that go beyond just his favorites. From speakeasy style to botanical infused cocktails, there is something to suit every palette and more! Next time you’re around we bet you’ll get a tasty new recipe by dad to try!
Gift a craft class instead of a tool set… Rather than gifting a fancy tool you may know nothing about, why not gift a new skill you can learn together? If your dad loves to spend time in his shop, then chances are he may excel in a craft class. He can try metal smithing, resin art, woodworking, and more!
Gift a pottery class instead of a coffee tumbler…If your dad is a coffee lover, chances are he already has a good collection of thermoses for work and activities. Rather than adding to the pile, book a pottery class for the two of you to make mugs together! This special souvenir will remind him of the experience with every morning coffee.
Top experience days for dad and daughter time
When it comes to gifts for dad that will allow you to spend time together, an experience will do just the trick. We offer workshops in major cities across the US, so you can find something near the two of you whether you’re in Los Angeles or Chicago. If you have a long-distance dad, don’t worry, we offer virtual workshops that will keep you connected no matter where you live.

But at the end of the day, experience days for dad will make him feel special because it’s quality time with you! Check out some of our favorite father daughter gifts!
