Unique Experience Gift Ideas Los Angeles
Experience gifts make the best presents
One of the advantages of choosing experience gifts over traditional presents is the opportunity for personal growth and learning. LA offers a wide range of cooking classes that cater to all skill levels and art classes where you can discover a new passion. Students learn from an expert, who talks about the fascinating history of their chosen subject while guiding everyone in a supportive setting. Your loved one will go home with a delicious treat or handmade item and a sense of calm after spending time on a mindful activity.
Whether your friend or family member is crafty or not, a workshop to learn jewelry making, screen printing, or creating mosaics is accessible for all. Los Angeles has an array of craft studios where teachers welcome beginners. Your teacher will provide the supplies and with just a bit of instruction and encouragement, you’ll be on your way.
Did you know that these kinds of experiences are great for your wellbeing? Taking time out to do something you're curious about or to just unwind after a long week has a positive effect on your mental and emotional health. Meeting new people, putting your focus on an enjoyable activity, and sharing a laugh go a long way toward replenishing your reserves and boosting your energy levels.
You can even use this experience present as an opportunity to spend quality time with a loved one. When you give experience gifts in Los Angeles, you are not just giving a physical item. You are giving the gift of shared memories. Whether it's attending a cooking class together or exploring side-by-side at a craft workshop, you’ll strengthen your bonds while developing real skills.

Specialty Cocktail Class with Akeema Bryan

Memorable gift experiences in Los Angeles
The benefit of choosing experience gifts in Los Angeles over a material item is the lasting memories you can create! Imagine the joy they’ll feel when they see that their gift will allow them to spend the day with you or spend some time for themselves! While fancy jewelry or the latest gadget may give them a quick rush of euphoria, an experience day personalized to their interests will make them feel extra special. Your loved one may even discover a new hobby or feel inspired to become a regular studio member. This might just be the gift that keeps on giving!
Top local experience gifts for Angelinos
There is no shortage of things to do in LA, but if you’re looking for local experience gifts that will “wow” an Angelino who seems to have tried it all, you’ve come to the right place. We offer some of the best experiences in LA to gift. These workshops will introduce your loved one to a one-of-a-kind experience they might not have thought to try on their own. They can explore a new cooking studio or creative pocket in their area while learning new skills from a local artisan or maker. Not only is this a fun gift idea, but it also allows you to support small businesses in LA! What better gift for an Angelino than a present that supports the community they love?
Pottery classes: If you’re looking for creative gift ideas, a chance to dig your hands into some clay is definitely unique! Our pottery classes offer a beginner-friendly taster into this ultra-popular craft medium. With guidance from a local maker, your giftee will be able to craft something with their own hands– a relaxing and rewarding way to spend an afternoon!
Pasta making classes: Skip the Italian restaurant for a fancy birthday dinner and enjoy handmade pasta with a creative twist in an Italian cooking class. Pasta making classes are fun and interactive, presenting the perfect environment to celebrate. From handmade ravioli to classic fettuccine alfredo you can learn to master your favorite pasta recipes and finish with an especially satisfying meal.
Candle making workshops: You’ve heard of paint and sip, but what about sip and pour? These workshops swap the paint brushes out for hot wax and essential oils to make your own candles! These classes blend luxury and creativity for a unique way to celebrate! This workshop will leave you with a custom candle and feeling recharged after a relaxing evening spent with other creatives in your community.
Floristry classes: When the San Gabriel Mountains are looking a little extra aird, you can always escape to a floristry class for a refreshing burst of nature and color. These vibrant workshops make for unique LA experiences that will brighten the day of any of your loved ones. In just one lesson they can learn how to make bouquets and arrangments that look like living works of art! The skills learned in this class will be much more valuable than a store-bought birthday bouquet.
