I got tickets to this class as a 9th anniversary gift (pottery) for my partner. Patrick was a great teacher and we had so much fun trying something new. The small class size and encouraging atmosphere were perfect for us beginners!
We went for a friend's bday present experience. The instructor was great! He demonstrated what we had to do and made sure we were on track. We had a fun time, and the macarons came out well! Thanks for a great experience!
Alzerina jewelry making class is an absolute gem! As an instructor, she's patient, knowledgeable, and overflows with infectious enthusiasm. From the moment my friends and I stepped into her studio, her warm, welcoming energy put us all at ease.

By the end of the class, I had created a cool red style bracelet that I can't believe I made myself! Alzerina’s positive reinforcement and encouragement gave me the confidence to experiment. I'm already signed up for the next session - I'm hooked!
If you want to have a fun and good energy time, this class is a must. Her teaching is simply brilliant, and she'll have you laughing, learning, and loving every minute. Trust me, your creativity is in good hands!!  + more
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.

Went as a gift for my boyfriend’s birthday! It was great. We had a lot of fun and our dumplings were delicious.
Our teacher was very informative, nice, and funny. He continually came around to offer individualized help and did a great demo! All around it was romantic and fun :)
This was the best present ever. We created three delicious pasta dishes, salad, and dessert following the instructions of two incredibly warm and talented chefs. Great atmosphere! Beautiful people! I highly recommend.
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 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.

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!
This was a gift for my son and his girlfriend. They had such a great time, and you even got my son to try things he never ate
Thank you! Thank you!

Marie
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!
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!

Marla was amazing! Candles smelled and looked beautiful with many different colors and scents to choose from, great birthday gift would definitely recommend!
This was a gift to me from family as I always wanted to learn how to make mozzarella. I thought the class size was nice and enabled the teacher to be very engaged with the class. The teacher was great and very personable. She made it very enjoyable. I liked being able to jump right into making cheese, was fun.
The tickets were a gift for my sister for us to take the class with her two daughters. Several busy months later, we were able to schedule it.
It was such a fun class! The instructor is personable, knowledgeable, and very engaging. I would definitely recommend this class!
Took my mom for s mother's day gift and it was very cute and great small class allowed for extra attention. The instructor was very sweet and well informed!
I got this for a gift for my girlfriend for valentines day. I printed out ClassBento and let her pick the class of her choosing. She landed on Red Inside Pasta Class and she could not have chose a better class. 100/100. I cannot wait to take another one of their classes! The two chefs were incredible and full of knowledge. Awesome experience, highly recommended.
I got this as a gift for my partner's birthday – neither of us had done a cooking class before, but we cook a decent amount at home so I wasn't sure what to expect. It was a full class, but Stefano and Dona did an excellent job of being attentive to everyone making sure we all got to participate in different parts of the process. Even as someone who is an experienced home cook, I came away learning a lot and the food was delicious! It was neat getting to try our hands at making the three different types of pasta from scratch.

This was a xmas gift for my partner and we both enjoyed it. Teacher was great spending enough time with everyone to make sure we did not struggle.
Venue had enough wheels, space and materials and we did learn the basics as set out.
Yes I would recommend this class to any beginners.
Purchased as a gift for my partner, this terrarium-making class met all expectations! The setting was intimate, clean & organized, and the the supplies were excellent quality. On top of that, the instructors were so pleasant and helpful throughout the class. Working with your hands and building something to take care of is so rewarding. Both my partner and I came out of this class happy with what we made and would highly recommend this class!
I got this class as a gift for my best friend as her 25th birthday present. We both absolutely loved this experience. One thing I loved was we learned the overall process of making perfume. If we didn't know what we liked, he guided us through it. I highly recommend, to go with friends, family or a significant other!
This class was a gift from my daughter. Our teacher was engaging, informative, knowledgeable and entertaining (funny)! The professional kitchen was clean, spacious, and well-equipped. We (a class of 16) had plenty of room to observe, participate in demonstrations, and do the work of the class - making dumplings! We learned how to roll a spring roll with rice wrappers, how to make dumpling dough, and four ways to roll and shape dumplings. Our teacher's demonstrations were detail-oriented but not overly complicated. Our creations were steamed andThis class was a gift from my daughter.

We had a great time in our class, it was a perfect birthday present for my boyfriend. He felt like he was on the show Forged in Fire and had a great time. It was a great beginner class, we could do things ourselves but always had our teacher right there to answer any questions or guide us in the right direction. We’ve already talked about doing a next level class!
This is a GREAT time.
I was given this class as a Christmas present and it's one of the best gifts I've ever gotten. The class size is small. My teacher was Gerard, and he was warm, nurturing, enthusiastic, encouraging, skilled, and patient.
This is a no-nonsense class where you really learn by doing. There's a quick hello and then you're geared up and pounding on molten pieces of rebar like you're a Viking blacksmith forging a sword. After hammering, shaping, quenching, grinding, and weaving, four hours later you leave the workshop with a knifeThis is a GREAT time.

The vibe is fun. Nice rock n' roll is played while you hammer and grind away.
It's great. Highly recommend.  + more
Got this as a Christmas present and I loved it! We got a feel for the clay and were able to just have fun and make little pots and bowls. Definitely want to go back for another class

Workshop:

She started out with a few slides with information on perfume structure and scent categorization then quickly pivoted to passing around and smelling scent samples from their collection. We smelled a dizzying number of scents (I had to re-up on the mimosa 1/2 way through) as Michelle explained how each was derived/extracted; its characteristics and behavior in relation to other scents; and common pairings/combinations. If we liked the scent we dipped our tester strip into the sample and kept it at our workstation.
The next step was to use our sample strips to come up with a combination we liked and create our own perfume. I appreciated her encouragement for creativity and intuition on our part during this process as much as she was willing to make suggestions when asked to do so by one of my fellow workshop mates.
My group was small (7 total), diverse, friendly and engaged; overall, a very relaxed, friendly atmosphere that Saturday morning. Our workshop leader, Michelle, provided tons of information but avoided lecturing, listened intently to and provided answers to questions throughout the workshop. I had a great time immersed in smelling and designing. It reminded me of wine tasting where you set aside time to compare and explore with one of your senses--but here you walk away with your own creation! If you're at all curious or interested in scents, perfumes, colognes, I highly recommend this workshop.  + more
Surprise your loved one with an experience gift card that opens the door to all kinds of fun creative possibilities. Not only will they get to learn from talented local artists and makers, but they'll also support small businesses in their community and across the country. Whether you need a birthday present, a unique Christmas gift, or a gift for a couple, you’ll have plenty of options to choose from. Treat your mom to a candle making class or your sister to a perfume workshop as a relaxing activity. If you’re looking for a way to show appreciation for your team, a cocktail making class or paint and sip will make a memorable summer or holiday party. There's something for everyone to nurture a new passion or just spend time with friends.
Types of Experience Gift Cards
One of the reasons to gift an experience is the chance to let your friend or loved one decide the kind of activity they’d like to try. You can give a hands-on gift like a cooking class where handmade pasta, Thai cuisine, and French pastries are just some of the culinary courses they can take.
If you know someone who has always wanted to develop their artistic skills, you can give them a gift card to sign up for a painting class or a pottery workshop. They can find one that works for their schedule so you don’t have to do the guesswork. Our classes are well-suited for beginners and supplies are included, so all they have to do is show up! They’ll meet other people just starting out or take a class together and bond over a shared activity.
You can give an experience gift to someone who wants to take a food tour or an art walk. This is an immersive time with a local expert and you won’t find this type of present in a big box store. It’s a memorable way to celebrate a birthday or bachelorette party and they’ll appreciate the care you took to find something original.
No matter where you are in the country – from San Francisco to New York City – there are creative experiences to delight all the important people in your life.
How Experience Gift Cards Work
It doesn’t get any easier than giving a gift card for experiences. There are no apps to download or codes to keep track of. When you buy our gift cards, everything is simplified with an email. Have a browse at our classes and choose whatever catches your eye or piques your curiosity.
Instead of generic gift cards, you can send friends and family something that fits their interests. If your co-worker loves flowers, she can learn how to make her own bouquets with a floral arrangement class. Maybe you need a gift for a teacher or assistant. Find a creative experience they’d enjoy from making ceramics to unwinding with a wellness gift like an aromatherapy skincare making class.
Our gift cards are perfect for couples too! If your partner has a passion for arts and culture, you can find art classes that allow them to develop their skills and knowledge. A street art class gives you an insider view with a graffiti artist as a guide. Take it together for the perfect date night. Or perhaps your grandparent loves plants and gardening – a terrarium-making class for two would be the perfect opportunity for them to level up their knowledge while having fun. This is a thoughtful way to show your love and appreciation.
Benefits of Experience Gift Cards
Gift cards offer a unique opportunity to give someone the gift of exploration and self-discovery. Instead of just receiving a material object or a traditional gift, they can try an interest or hobby that can spark a new passion. Whether learning to make their own scented candles or mastering Spanish cooking, your loved one will have the chance to become immersed in a new skill with expert guidance.
One of the greatest advantages of gift experiences is the opportunity to learn from local experts. Our teachers are passionate about what they do and take joy in sharing their knowledge with others. Your mom, sister, or best friend can immerse themselves in creative workshops and gain a new hobby.
While material gifts may provide instant gratification, experiences have longer-lasting benefits. For someone who leads a busy and stressful life, taking time out for themselves to engage in something fun and enjoyable can be incredibly rejuvenating. Whether it's attending a workshop pizza making or exploring meditative pottery, our hands-on experiences cater to all interests and provide an escape to care for your wellbeing.
