Katie Fiedler
The instructor was very knowledgeable and passionate about perfume making and it made the class so enjoyable! Not only did we learn a lot to help us pick perfumes out in the future but we got to create our own personalized scent to take home with the help of the instructor! The space and materials/packaging were so cute and thoughtful. This class was a perfect gift for my girlfriend’s birthday and + more

This class was incredible! I bought the class as a surprise gift for my partner and we each made one knife each. Our instructor Arlene was so helpful, funny, inspiring, and had a great taste in music. The effort was somehow both easier and harder than expected (my arms are spaghetti), but the teacher was available to help if you were struggling. To be able to leave with a handmade knife was amazing! + more

I bought this class as a gift for a friend of mine and we had the best time. We had never done pottery before and yet we managed to make a piece that we were proud of. The guidance and support of the teacher is awesome as it is a small group so she has time to come help you whenever you need. I would definitely recommend and I am looking forward to going back!

Great value. You get drinks, an awesome teaching session, and the tools to make drinks at home. Host makes sure all people are having a fun time and the bar has a great vibe. Overall an amazing gift or experience!
Bona Jeong
Melanie was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions in details and thoughtful manner. I always wanted to learn about candle making for hobby, and this amazing birthday gift from my sister gave me this chance! This specific venue got a little noisy in the end as the customers started to come in for lunch. Other than that, I would definitely recommend this class to anyone who has interest just + more
Unique Experience Gift Ideas NYC
Why experience gift cards make the best gift ideas
We’ve all received those gifts that don’t get much use or you might have even regifted. When you give a unique experience gift card, you don't have to worry about it sitting in a closet or junk drawer. Your loved ones can choose a class that fits their interests, from photography lessons to up their social media game to a graffiti art tour to dive into the origins of New York City street art.
Does your friend or family member love world-class food and drink experiences? You’re in the right place for amazing culinary classes with local chefs. Learn how to make fresh pasta from scratch or get an in-depth lesson in Indian cooking working side by side in a teacher’s kitchen. If your BFF would rather stick to happy hour, you can call up your crew and learn how to make cocktails at a popular Manhattan bar. They can choose their own adventure when you give a gift experience.
Unique experience gifts for everyone
Maybe you need a gift idea for couples and the usual possibilities aren’t that inspiring. Gift experiences will help them create unforgettable memories, especially when it involves activities like body painting for couples or a romantic cooking class perfect for a milestone anniversary. Whether you need a thoughtful present for your parents or childhood best friend, you can find the best experience gifts around New York, from Astoria to the Lower East Side.
If you know someone who is an avid crafter, we have all the hands-on experiences anyone could want. New York City is filled with artists and teachers who love sharing what they know whether it’s jewelry making or knife smithing, we have unique experiences they’ll talk about for a long time! Our craft classes offer the chance to customize sneakers or make a macrame plant hanger and give them something fun and challenging to add to their skill set in 2023.

Unforgettable gift experience ideas
Unforgettable gift experience ideasIf you give a bottle of wine, your recipient can enjoy it for the night but if you give the experience of a wine tasting they can take that time with them any time they buy a bottle for themselves. Even if you don’t live in the same city, you can choose an online class so your entire group can gather, no matter where you live, and sip together while a wine expert drops some knowledge in a lively virtual class.
Learning online is an unforgettable way to learn everything from making sushi to baking croissants. Classes are accessible and perfectly suited for the beginner so everyone gets something out of it. You can take away more than just the thing you've made from these gift experiences. You’ll create memories that will last a lifetime.
