10 Experience Gifts They'll Love

We’ve all been there — it’s a few days before Christmas, and you realize you have one last gift to buy. Or you haven’t found that perfect something for a special someone. Or a gift doesn’t arrive in time (hello, shipping delays). Sometimes gift cards can feel impersonal, but we have an Experience Gift Guide to help. Below we’ve suggested some thoughtful ways to gift these experience so they have something to open on Christmas Day. So easy, so much fun, and still personal!

1. Masterclass membership.

Membership includes access to 100+ classes taught by experts all over the world in fields like cooking, science, photography, sports and more. Tweens and teens might love the Steph Curry class (pair with a basketball!), teen girls might enjoy this class with Bobbi Brown (pair with makeup brushes!) and your history buff dad might love the class from Doris Kearns Goodwin (pair with one of her books or a notepad and pen!). There are so many classes and members get to take whatever they want! Gift memberships here.

2. A vacation!

We have an entire post on gifting vacations with so many great ideas along with great ways to give this Christmas.

3. Monthly floral delivery.

Check with your local florist. Print and pair with some $7 floral shears from Amazon!

4. A cooking class.

Check Sur La Table, Williams-Sonoma or somewhere like the Viking Cooking School in Alabama. Surprise them with a cute spatula set or a new baking pan! Fun family gift as well! And something you can do virtually with family around the country.
