Why Experience Days Make Fun Gift Ideas

If you want to make sure everyone on your list gets a gift they'll love, then, experience days might just be your ideal solution! You can treat your friends and family to a day of exploring a new hobby, spending quality together, or some solo self-care time! Whether it's learning the intricate art of rug making in tufting workshops, unleashing creativity in painting classes, or nurturing a green thumb in plants and flowers classes, these unique experiences are not only exciting but also offer skills that can last a lifetime. 

Rather than a material item, you can treat them to lifelong memories and exciting new skills. Likely, they’ll even take home a new creation! The best part: these gifts are beginner-friendly and offered all across the US. So whether you have a nature-loving best friend in Seattle or an artsy mom in NYC, there’s an experience day for everyone on your list. 

Spend time with nature in a floristry or terrarium class

If you’re looking to treat a loved one to a relaxing day out, they can spend time with nature in a floristry or terrarium class. These classes offer hands-on experience in crafting beautiful handmade flower arrangements and miniature gardens. 

Flower arranging for beginners is not only a fun activity but also provides valuable skills that can be used to decorate your own home. A floristry class will teach them new and useful skills that make a much more meaningful gift idea than a store-bought bouquet. If your giftee prefers a longer-lasting arrangement, they can learn how to build a terrarium! Terrariums offer a unique opportunity to create your own small ecosystem inside a glass container. Find relaxation as you piece together your living art! 

Dive into a new hobby in a tufting class

If you know someone who loves to DIY or is always jumping on the latest art trends, they’ll love crafty experience days. In a tufting workshop, they can explore the best of both worlds! Embarking on a new hobby can be intimidating. You have to carve out the time, track down supplies, and do the necessary research. By gifting an immersive craft class, you can provide everything your giftee will need to get started. 

These beginner-friendly tufting classes make it easy for anyone to pick up this craft, regardless of their previous artistic experience or skills. You'll be guided through the process step by step, from selecting the right materials to crafting your very first handmade rug. These tufting classes are more than just an introduction to a new hobby; they're a chance to explore your creativity in a fun, supportive environment. 

Discover a change of scenery in a painting workshop

Not only are painting classes a fun way to spend a day, but we offer a wide range of painting classes taught in unique studios and locations! Enjoy a painting in the park day in Central Park, or bring your dog to a Doggy and Me painting class in SF’s Dolores Park! If you rather take inspiration from your beloved city, learn how to paint the Chicago skyline or the beautiful beaches of Santa Monica! 

Painting classes also provide a fantastic opportunity to be social. Whether your giftee just moved to a new city and they’re looking to meet new people or you want to join in on the fun for experience days out together!
