Why Experience Days Make Fun Gift Ideas


By Kiana Pontrelli

If you're looking for unforgettable gift ideas, experience days may just be the answer to making sure everyone on your list receives a gift they love! Treat your loved ones to a day filled with exploring new hobbies, spending quality time together, or indulging in some much-needed self-care with these unique gift experience ideas. From learning the art of rug making to unleashing your creativity in painting classes or nurturing your green thumb in plants and flowers workshops, these experiences are not only fun but also provide skills that can be treasured for a lifetime.

Rather than a material item, you can treat them to lifelong memories and exciting new skills. The great thing is, that these experiences are perfect for beginners and can be found all over the US. So whether your best friend in LA loves nature or you're looking for a Christmas gift for your artsy mom in NYC, there's an experience day that will make their day special.

Spend time with nature in a floristry or terrarium class

If you’re looking to treat a loved one to a relaxing day out, they can spend time with nature in a floristry or terrarium class. These classes offer hands-on experience in crafting beautiful handmade flower arrangements and miniature gardens.

Flower arranging for beginners is not only a fun activity but also provides valuable skills that can be used to decorate your own home. A floristry class will teach them new and useful skills that make a much more meaningful gift idea than a store-bought bouquet. If your giftee prefers a longer-lasting arrangement, they can learn how to build a terrarium! Terrariums offer a unique opportunity to create your own small ecosystem inside a glass container. Find relaxation as you piece together your living art!

Dive into a new hobby in a tufting class

If you know someone who loves to DIY or is always jumping on the latest art trends, they’ll love crafty experience days. In a tufting workshop, they can explore the best of both worlds! Embarking on a new hobby can be intimidating. You have to carve out the time, track down supplies, and do the necessary research. By gifting an immersive craft class, you can provide everything your giftee will need to get started. 

These beginner-friendly tufting classes make it easy for anyone to pick up this craft, regardless of their previous artistic experience or skills. You'll be guided through the process step by step, from selecting the right materials to crafting your very first handmade rug. These tufting classes are more than just an introduction to a new hobby; they're a chance to explore your creativity in a fun, supportive environment. 

We offer plenty of trending craft classes that will allow your loved one to explore an interest or find a new hobby. If you're looking for gifts for artsy people, this is the perfect way to support their passion of learning new and creative things!

Discover a change of scenery in a painting workshop

Not only are painting classes a fun way to spend a day, but we offer a wide range of painting classes taught in unique studios and locations! Enjoy a painting in the park day in Central Park, or bring your dog to a Doggy and Me painting class in SF’s Dolores Park! If you rather take inspiration from your beloved city, learn how to paint the Chicago skyline or the beautiful beaches of Santa Monica!

Paint and sip classes also provide a fantastic opportunity to be social. Pair your pinot with a painter's palette or your white wine with watercolors, in these fun art classes. If you're ready to try something beyond the paintbrush, we also offer clay-and-sip pottery classes, pour-and-sip candle-making classes, and more fun takes on this creative experience!

You can turn your gift into a celebration with these fun-filled endeavors! This is a sure way to make your giftee feel extra special, whether you're celebrating a milestone career move, a special birthday, or just because. Family experience gifts offer the unique opportunity to spend time with your loved ones, create lasting memories, and even explore a passion or hobby. So skip the wrapping paper this year, and gift your loved one a day of exploration with this selection of the best gift ideas for adults in 2024!
