Lila Han
Buttercream Cupcake Decorating Class: Rose, Daisy, Scabiosa
This class was a perfect little girls day/birthday celebration gift for my cousin. YS was a great teacher and host, sharing her expertise, skills and tips, and making this class an enjoyable experience overall. You can see in our flowers the progression of "totally a newbie" to "getting the hang of it" Hehe! The place was very clean and organized, and we appreciated the tea party, treats and photo + more

Got this class as a gift for my mom for her birthday and she absolutely loved it, and so did I! The teacher was amazing and extremely helpful. You have so much creative freedom in how you want to arrange your terrarium and what you want to put in it. Well worth the time and money spent, such a fun experience :)

Pottery Class: Intro to Wheel Throwing Seize the Clay
Mason was amazing and was extremely patient and clear with his instructions. I highly recommend taking the pottery wheel class with him. I took my family here for a surprise birthday gift for my mom and she loved it.
Karen Barroso
Wheel Throwing Workshop: Fun with Clay
I got this class as a birthday gift for my friend and it was the perfect experience. Brian was a wonderful teacher and created a good environment to learn and have fun. It was both of our first times working with clay and his instructions/demos were great and he had the perfect balance of letting us experiment and guiding us when he saw we needed it. The studio was very comfortable, stylish and his + more
Riley Hewko
This wood working class was amazing! Our teacher was so knowledgeable, helped us build confidence with machinery, and provided everything we needed! There was a perfect amount of time for us to work together (sharing the machines/discussing which materials to use) but also on our own time to just be present and focus on the beautiful task at hand! Great for new and experienced individuals. Great price + more
Kendra Willis
Pottery Class: Intro to Wheel Throwing Seize the Clay
I had a great time at the class. I booked this as a birthday present for myself and I had a great time. The instructor, Ann Marie, was really good. She was very patient and took time to explain everything we were doing thoroughly. I will definitely be booking another class in the near future.

Cooking Class: Dumpling Dinner Party
I received this class as a birthday gift awhile back. Finally got around to taking it and I am NOT disappointed. Eddie was a perfect host/teacher and was very encouraging throughout the process. The food was excellent too. I learned a lot and hope to come back for another class in the near future.

We just finished a terrarium class at Botanic Panic; it was a (perfect) gift from my daughter. The class was great from start to end. The teacher (and shop owner) was so friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and fun. We ended up with great terrariums; the material's of provided were plentiful. (I tried to attach photos but kept running into problems).
Tony de La Paz

Received this workshop as a birthday present from my family. The instructor was very knowledgeable and friendly. Lovely venue, all materials were provided. I loved the experience!
Kyle Doan
My partner and I attended this class using a ClassBento gift card he got me for Christmas. We knew we wanted to do an activity that was unique and different from the typical cooking or fitness classes we typically would use this opportunity for, and this was the perfect choice! Florence and Han were so helpful and welcoming and really made things so easy for us. All of the necessary materials and supplies were provided and we felt very safe and empowered to tackle on the lamp-making. I've never done anything electrical before, so I was a bit intimidated; + more

Cooking Class: Dumpling Dinner Party
I bought my partner a ClassBento gift card as a gift and I am so glad he chose this class for us to attend together! The instructor was so well-prepared, encouraging, clear and kind throughout the class. It was clear that he took a lot of care to design the class and give us the best experience possible by buying fresh, organic produce and meats from local markets for our shared cooking experience and meal - the quality of the food was incredible and well worth the cost of the class and the good vibes were an added bonus. We learned how to make + more

Cooking Class: Dumpling Dinner Party
We got this experience as a gift from my wife, and my two teens and I had an absolutely wonderful time! Eddie was the perfect host and the time just flew by with him sharing the history of the food we were making and the wonderful conversation from the other guests! We learned about how different types of soy sauces are made, and then we did a blind taste-test different soy sauces and it's amazing how they impact the deliciousness (umami) and the overall flavor of the dumplings. I couldn't believe how much we learned and I'm fully confident + more

The class was very fun! Carrie was very flexible with my groups schedule. I booked this as a gift for my family as a small group and it was a really excellent way to celebrate together.

Succulent Wreath Making Workshop
I highly recommend this class and studio They provide so many quality materials to create exactly what you want to make. The ladies who own and work at the studio are so friendly and welcoming and knowledgeable. Making a succulent wreath was a fantastic gift and experience for my friend and me. I’ll be back!

I got this as a gift and so didn't attend. But I heard it was great.

This experience was a an amazing gift from my husband. Rebecca listened to my requests and crafted a learning experience I will not soon forget. The personalized touches were thoughtful and creative. I am so grateful you have found your niche in the industry and are sharing your talents with the world. Salud!

This was my first ClassBento and it was a great time for me and my youth (15 yr old). Moonshot Studio is located in downtown Noe Valley so parking may be a little tricky but we just parked a little further away and walked in. Our instructor (and owner) was Teresa and she was so sweet, enthusiastic, and informative. It look about 1.5 hours for us to complete our candle-making activity, which is a bit longer than the class was supposed to take but Teresa didn't rush us at all. Once completed, Teresa asked us to either return in 90 mins to pick up + more
Experience Gifts for Mom San Francisco
Why experience gift cards make the best gift ideas
Giving mom an experience gift is a step up from a present because, in addition to giving her something tangible that's handmade by her, you are also empowering her to learn a new skill and make fun, lasting memories while doing so. What's more, you can join her for the experience and share some wonderful quality time! Our catalog of gift experiences in the Bay Area is vast. Treat mom to a paint and sip class where she'll get to enjoy some local Napa Valley wine while creating a painting she can display proudly in her home. Or, treat her to a virtual chocolate tasting where she can learn about her favorite treat while sampling the goodies from a kit delivered right to her door.
If your mom loves to cook, why not show her some love in the form of an at-home organic herb growing class, with all the seeds and materials included? She will be sure to smile with pride each time she adds a pinch of homegrown fresh seasoning to one of her favorite dishes. You could also treat her to a custom candle making class in San Francisco, where she can choose her own scented oils to create a lovely candle that's uniquely her.
Unforgettable Mother's Day gifts
Show your mom just how special she is with unique Mothers' Day gift ideas she'll be sure to cherish. Rather than simply buying her a bouquet of flowers, bring her to a flower arranging workshop in San Jose, where you can make your own custom bouquets together, and get to know each other in new and deeper ways as you explore your own floral design styles together. Or, in true San Francisco fashion, spend Mothers' Day with flowers in your hair by attending a workshop where you can learn how to make flower crowns together!
If your mom is in need of some good old fashioned R&R, you can create a fun at-home spa experience with her by making homemade soap, DIY bath bombs, and tons of other natural skin care products with our growing collection of craft kits and online classes suited perfectly for just this sort of occasion. As you explore the different textures, colors, and scents of your homemade bodycare products together, you and your mom will both revisit happy memories of making childhood crafts. Perhaps you'll even have fun getting a little messy together - and, since it's Mothers' Day, you can offer to do the cleanup!
If you're looking for unique gift ideas for mom this Mothers' Day, our Bay Area workshops and online classes make great choices because, rather than just giving mom a pretty item or a nice meal out to enjoy, you'll be giving a gift experience that increases her wellbeing, which will last long after Mothers' Day ends.

Looking for Christmas gift ideas for Mom, or birthday gifts that will make her feel loved? Browse our wide range of Bay Area art, craft, and cooking workshops to find a truly unique gift.
