US Workshop Experience Gift Cards


Surprise your loved one with fun experience gift cards that open the door to all kinds of 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 last minute gifts for family or classes gifts for friends, 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. There's something for everyone to nurture a new passion or just spend time with friends.


Types of experience gift cards

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 foodie 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 creative 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.

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.


5 reasons to buy classes gift cards

  1. Unique: gift a memorable experience.
  2. Personalization: they can choose something that inspires them.
  3. Convenience: easy to buy, deliver, schedule, and redeem!
  4. Shop small: support local makers and small business owners through their workshops.
  5. Sustainable: swap material goods for a new skill and precious memories.

How experience gift cards work

How Experience Gift Cards Work

It doesn’t get any easier than giving a fun 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 unique 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 unique 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.


How to buy experience gift cards

  1. Gift a specific class or select a chosen amount and let your recipient pick a class later!
  2. Purchase a gift card with your chosen amount. Our popular classes start at $50!
  3. Choose to have ClassBento email the gift certificate directly to your giftee immediately or skip this step and print out the gift certificate to hand-deliver to your giftee at a later date.
  4. Your giftee can redeem their experience gift card for any of our workshops at a time convenient for them. And don’t forget, these are gift cards with no expiration date!
  5. Your loved one can embark on their creative experience!

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.
