There’s always instant gratification when you open a present but there are lots of long term benefits to giving an experience instead. You can tailor the event to suit your loved one and what they are interested in. Even if they just want to dabble in a new activity like making textiles or baking desserts, this is the perfect way to try something out. 

You can also invite a group to join a mixology class or wine tastings if you want to make it a group outing and you need a birthday gift. You’ll create great memories and everyone will appreciate a break from the usual night out at your favorite bar or restaurant.

If you know someone who wants to try more mindful things to do or needs a bit of relaxation, experience gifts are an easy way to get started on chill free time activities. You can give them a candle making class so they can be immersed in lovely scents and a chill vibe or a terrarium workshop to spend some time with plants and nature. No matter what the activity, there are plenty of creative ways to show your loved ones a great time around the city.
