Create personalized perfumes
Body care products are often go-to gift ideas for her. We agree, everyone could use a reminder to pamper themselves!

Express yourself in a jewelry-making class
Accessories are a great way to show off your personality and they also make great gift ideas! Jewelry is a common gift idea because there are options for every budget, styles that cater to diverse personalities and can have sentimental value. But have you ever thought about gifting a jewelry-making class? This is a great alternative to a jewelry piece as you can personalize it and even spend quality time with a loved one to craft something meaningful together.
Every woman has a preference for jewelry. Some prefer to go with stacked rings and others love the look of a statement earring. We offer jewelry classes in a wide variety of styles! Dabble in metal smithing and learn how to forge your own silver band or try beading to make layered necklaces in your favorite color palette. You’ll leave with handmade jewelry you’ll be proud to wear.

Gift a useful skill with baking classes
