Unique Experience Gift Ideas Chicago
Why experiences make the best gift ideas
It’s not always easy to find the perfect gift for your BFF or your picky sister. No one wants their present returned, but it happens to the best of us. With a gift or experience, you’re giving the recipient more than instant gratification. A scarf is nice but you can help your crafty friend learn how to knit so she can create her own designs. A local Chicago instructor will lead the way and provide all the support and encouragement a beginner needs.
If your sister likes to try a new cocktail at every restaurant, she might love learning the latest TikTok trending drinks from a mixologist. Our cocktail classes are great for groups and so much fun! Whether you are looking for bachelorette party ideas or a cool birthday gift, mastering a Negroni Sbagliato might be the best way to celebrate.
Does your mom have a closet full of unused presents? You won’t add to the clutter with an experience gift. If she loves nature, you can take an art walk together or an outdoor paint and sip class at a Chicago park. Maybe a flower arranging class will make her happy and you’ll both end your time with a beautiful display to bring home.
Unique gifts for everyone
It’s easy to meet up at a bar to celebrate a friend’s birthday or congratulate them on a new job. If you want to make the night more memorable, you can try a beer-tasting workshop together. You’ll still get to hang out and socialize but you’ll get to chat with a brewer and show some love for local lagers and stouts.
Is self-care more of a motivator than a big night out? You and your friends can learn how to make soy candles for the ultimate bespoke experience. Your teacher will show you how to add your favorite scents, and how to pour the wax into a vessel. You’ll leave with custom candles to help you relax and unwind at home.
Or try making bath bombs and body lotion for even more at-home pampering. You can learn all the tips and tricks from a body care expert who will show you how to blend ingredients and create a line of products worthy of a retail store. You’ll love spending time with friends while you make something special.
Unforgettable gift experiences
Chicago is full of artisans, makers, and creative chefs. Learning from these pros will create lasting memories. Does your dad dream of learning how to make pizza in Naples? Bring Italy to him by booking a pizza-making class in a professional kitchen. You’ll get insider tips on how to make the best crust and how to get the blistered edges that taste so amazing.
If you want to thank your colleagues for a job well done, our workshops make excellent team building activities. You can bond over baking or laugh while you paint and sip. If you’re spread out across the city or even across the country, our virtual team building experiences will let you bring the whole group together.
