“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.” - Frankie
Activity gifts are a great way for your friend or loved one to try something new. Does your mom love Italian food? You can give her the gift of learning how to make pasta from scratch with a local chef. Does your best friend carve out time for self-care days? A scented candle making class or a lesson in making plant-based elixirs would make an ideal way to spend an afternoon. Everyone leaves class with samples of their work and the knowledge to make more at home.
The best part of giving an experience gift is that no one needs to be an expert. A complete beginner can enjoy a pottery class or mosaic making. All of the tools and equipment are provided for them in class. With expert instruction and a laidback atmosphere, it’s a relaxing way to learn new skills and even make new friends!
