It’s not easy finding the exact right thing to show your love and appreciation for your mom or mother figure in your life. If it feels like you’ve exhausted all of your good ideas, choosing a gift card for experiences in Chicago is a great alternative to flowers and dinner out.
Even if your mom loves getting flowers, you could mix it up with a floristry class. Instead of just buying a bouquet, you and your mom can take a workshop together. Not only will you learn the skills to create a gorgeous floral display, but you’ll also spend precious quality time together. That’s a priceless benefit to taking workshops with loved ones.
Maybe your mom has always wanted to learn how to make ceramics. With pottery classes, she can pick up skills like wheel throwing or hand building. She can visit a local studio and learn from an experienced artist, who will guide her step by step. Our workshops are great for beginners and there’s no pressure to make things perfectly. It’s all about the creative process and if your mom has an artistic side she wants to nurture, she’ll appreciate this experience. Gift cards allow her to pick the type of pottery class she wants to take at the time that fits her schedule. You can’t go wrong!
What do you get the woman who made your school lunches and prepared your favorite dinner on special occasions? Why not treat her to a cooking class where she’ll learn something she’s always wanted to try? If your mom loves sushi but can’t imagine making it on her own, a sushi making workshop is the place to boost her confidence. A local chef will show her how to make the perfect rolls and nigiri with the freshest ingredients. When the class is done, she can show off her skills the next time you’re over for dinner.
If your mom is the crafty type, a candle making class is a fun workshop to try. She’ll appreciate learning how to make custom candles with natural ingredients and her favorite scents. She’ll learn all about blending fragrances in soy wax or coconut wax, then perfect the pour into glass vessels. Once she’s done, she’ll have candles to take home and enjoy.
Another fun and out-of-the-ordinary class is perfume making. It’s a great way to take a deep dive into the history of perfumes and learning fragrance blending. Learn the difference between top notes and base notes as you hone your sense of smell. This is a unique experience that’s perfect for birthday parties and even bachelorette ideas.
It’s never easy finding gifts for mom but if your celebrating an important birthday, you might feel the pressure. If you’re looking for a 70th birthday present for an adventurous mom, a leather working class might be exactly what she’ll love. Imagine learning how to make a belt or handbag in just a few hours. She’ll pick up important techniques and the knowledge for using special tools to make handcrafted leather goods.
Or if fine arts is where she wants to explore her creative side, you can book a painting class and get her to unleash the artist inside. Take a sip and paint class together and enjoy your favorite Sauvignon Blanc while you create a canvas. Or try other projects like painting tote bags or wine glasses. No matter what you choose, you’ll leave your class with new skills and something to display that reminds you of your time together.
DIY gifts for mom make excellent Christmas presents, especially if your mom loves taking on a new project. A wreath making class is a fun way to get into the spirit of the holiday. You can take invite your friends and family to take the class as a group and walk away with Christmas wreaths to decorate your doors. No matter what the reason to celebrate, our hands-on workshops are just right when you’re searching for good gifts for mom.
