Reviews from our gift recipients




Gail Lennon Aug 2024




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.

My daughter bought me a gift card for Christmas, to take a cooking class at the Kitchen Engine! It was so educational and fun!! The instructor was fun and easy to understand! The food was delicious! I will do more classes in the future!

Carmelita Jaramillo Mar 2025




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 struggles  + more

Ayden Santiago Feb 2025




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! Truly  + more

Zo Grey Mountain Jun 2024




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.  + more

Kirsten Luke Apr 2024




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. I genuinely enjoyed the activity and the hosts  + more

Lauren Clapperton Mar 2025




My cousin gave me this class as a holiday gift and we had the best time! The fish is fresh and everything is prepped for you in advance so you get to focus on making your American rolls, hand rolls and Maki rolls. Definitely bring a Tupperware for to-go items, as we had extra sushi. We learned knife skills and how to purchase the best sushi grade fish. Our class was held at Hotel Kabuki which has a  + more

Sarah Wu Feb 2025




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. It was our first time decorating cakes and we would recommend this  + more
