Such a fun time! Our facilitator was hilarious and provided clear instructions. I wish we were taught a bit more about the candle process after it is mixed. Otherwise, a fun class, dope space. I’m grateful for the 5$ gift card too! I got a smudge stick with mine
Christine Fisher
What a fun class!! Nuru has meticulously designed an inspiring moss craft box. He was so helpful with any questions I had and took the time to explain each step. I recommend this as a gift or a fun art night with friends.

Pottery Throwing Wheel Class: Agateware Marbling
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!

The place was very clean and organized, and we appreciated the tea party, treats and photo ops that were provided. The cupcakes came out so cute and delicious; they were a hit with our family for dessert that evening! We had so much fun, and highly recommend this to anyone who wants to spend an afternoon learning a new skill in a fun environment. + more

Such a great experience!! Instructor was super clear and the materials were nice for making all different types of resin jewelry. Such a fun bday gift for my sister, would absolutely come back to the studio for any of their other offerings! So cool and a nice chill space.

Traditional Mosaic Lamp Making Workshop
This was great to do, whether by yourself or a date or group. It was fun to open up to your creative side and make something personal for yourself or a gift for another person. I also enjoyed the Tea and Baklava, was very delicious. Look forward to booking another class soon!

Gradient Blossom Candle Making Workshop
This was fun! The instructor was super knowledgeable and accommodating. I'm vegan and avoid using beeswax and the instructor was very willing to stick to soy wax to accommodate this. I learned a lot and had a ton of fun making a great gift. My friend made one of these candles as a Mother's Day gift and his mom was touched to tears by it!

I highly recommend this class for solo folks interested in learning a fun new craft, friends looking for a fun afternoon, or large groups. It was such an enjoyable way to spend the afternoon! + more

Leah was very informative. She gave a brief history on paper marbling as an art form. She told us about two forms of paper marbling and the one we were doing: suminagashi. Sumingashi is the easiest as it only requires ink and water. She showed us examples of her paper marbling art. She is very creative. I like the venue as it breathed crafting & art.

I like the materials provided as we used an example of good quality paper and copy paper. The copy paper can be used to practice and perfect your paper marbling skills. The price of the class was reasonable. It was a good value for the experience we had as we were able to make more than the planned pieces of suminagashi mabled paper. I purchased the class as a birthday gift for a friend. We both enjoyed the class. We learned how to do sumanigashi or Japanese ink paper marbling. I like how easy it was to create marbled pieces. I like how it doesn't require that many materials to continue doing it. I would definited do another class with Leah. I'm looking forward to doing arts/crafts classes through ClassBento. + more

This was definitely worth the money and I have already started recommending it to other friends who are looking for a fun workshop. We really could not be happier with our experience, Brian was incredible and hope to take another workshop with him again! + more

Michelle Caldwell
My mom and I took this class together and had a great time. Our teacher, the owner of the shop, was kind and made sure every detail was taken care of. We enjoyed learning the process as well as the smaller things like having time to visit between steps and enjoy our mimosas we brought. We will definitely recommend to anyone looking for a fun gift idea or date.

Anna Guaglione
Sip and Pour Candle Making Class
Was such a fun experience and our instructor was very lovely. I gave it as a gift for my friends birthday and we had a fantastic time. The scents were so nice, and the candle turned out exactly how we were hoping. The vibes were great all around, and of course the wine was a fun addition to the experience. Would 100% do it again and would recommend for friends or couples.

Sushi Making Class: Rainbow Roll and More
Kaz was an amazing teacher! He made the class fun and exciting for us to learn about making sushi. He has a great sense of humor too! Definitely brought home a skill for sushi making and a lot food to eat. Highly recommend you take this class with a friend/family (or a group of people) or as a fun date with someone who loves to cook. I brought my boyfriend to this class as his birthday gift and he loved it!

My partner Beth, who spent several years living in France after college (and still speaks French fluently) had long wanted to learn how to how make croissants so I purchased this class for her birthday. In all the years we have been together I think the class may have been her favorite birthday present thus far which says something. Our instructor Emily was incredibly patient, friendly and wasn't pretentious like so many other professional bakers in New York are. You could also tell she was passionate about her craft which is always great to see.

I took my girlfriend to this ring making class as a birthday gift to her. Jeneba was warm, informative, and a great teacher to have!! We both loved how our rings turned out and would definitely book a class with Jeneba again!
Doan Buu
Hand-Building Ceramics Class: Pet Bowls
My wife and I took the pet bowl class for an upcoming holiday gift exchange, and we were really happy with our decision! Natalie was very nice, helpful, and imformative and created a fun, relaxing environment. I'd never really worked in clay and by the end of the class I was quickly putting together my second bowl without much help or instruction! Two hours went by in a flash, I'd definitely recommend to anybody who wants to spend an afternoon crafting creatively.
Best Gifts for Dad
Meaningful gifts for dad to make him feel special
For many, our dads are one of the most important men in our lives. If you want to show your dad how much he means to you, experiences make for meaningful gifts for dad to make him feel like a star no matter the occasion.
These presents can make him feel special because you can choose them based on his interests. This personalized touch will mean more to him than a random gift card.
Even though your dad has been by your side since day one, it can still be challenging to show your appreciation. With gift experiences for dad you can spend a day together and connect over a fun activity with ease. Memories created in a workshop will last far longer than any material item.
5-star rated experience gifts for dad
From cooking classes to craft workshops, there are many creative activities dad will love. But don’t take our word for it, hear what our community has to say about their experience gifts for dad!
Vegan Chinese Cooking Class with Graceful Kitchen, Richmond, CA
“My sister and I booked this class for us and our dad as a Christmas gift for him. It was a great gift for a hard to shop for person. We got to spend time together and learn at the same time! Grace was a great teacher and host. 10/10 would book again.” - Mia
Handmade Leather Wallet Workshop with Haptic Wallets, Hoboken, NJ
“My dad and I had so much fun at this workshop! Kit and team were super helpful and we learned a lot. Love the wallets we made as well as the extra card holder. The vibe was immaculate with the music. Class size was perfect and the studio was very clean and organized…” - Casey
Your guide to good dad presents
Swap out common gift ideas for these unique dad presents! These experience gifts for dad will leave a pleasant surprise on his face and maybe even a chance for you to join in on the fun.
Gift a leather working class instead of a wallet…We know dads are often the last to replace their worn accessories. Rather than gifting the same wallet again, a leather working class where he can create his own will add a personal touch! This will make for much more meaningful gifts for dad where he can feel a sense of pride having created a functional accessory with his own two hands.
Gift a mixology class instead of a bottle of whiskey… Gift your dad the opportunity to make use of his dusty liquor cabinet with a cocktail making class! He can learn delicious cocktail recipes that go beyond just his favorites. From speakeasy style to botanical infused cocktails, there is something to suit every palette and more! Next time you’re around we bet you’ll get a tasty new recipe by dad to try!
Gift a craft class instead of a tool set… Rather than gifting a fancy tool you may know nothing about, why not gift a new skill you can learn together? If your dad loves to spend time in his shop, then chances are he may excel in a craft class. He can try metal smithing, resin art, woodworking, and more!
Gift a pottery class instead of a coffee tumbler…If your dad is a coffee lover, chances are he already has a good collection of thermoses for work and activities. Rather than adding to the pile, book a pottery class for the two of you to make mugs together! This special souvenir will remind him of the experience with every morning coffee.
Top experience days for dad and daughter time
When it comes to gifts for dad that will allow you to spend time together, an experience will do just the trick.
