Does someone on your gift list prefer receiving experiences over new things? Give them the gift of knowledge, fun, relaxation, and more with these experiential ideas.
Cooking Classes
Indulge an inner Ina Garten or stoke culinary curiosity with a cooking class. Capers Emporium in New Harmony, Indiana, offers public sessions or reservations for private groups. Participants can learn to make everything from hearty soups to delectable desserts. For artistic-inclined gift recipients, select a two-hour glass fusion class with hands-on instruction.
A Day Downtown
Still not sure what to gift someone? Let them plan their own present with a Downtown Evansville e-gift card. The recipient can select to spend their gifted money at more than 20 retailers, restaurants, and businesses. Make it a date with an e-gift card for yourself!
Luxury Liquor
Help your gift recipient savor the season — or any occasion — with luxury liquors from Liquor Locker. If their tastes run toward top-shelf tequila, try gifting them Patron El Cielo, a sweet spirit with hints of agave with a 40 percent ABV. Bourbon lovers will want to try Luca Marciano’s distilled whiskey boasting notes of vanilla, brown sugar, and chocolate with a finish that’s mildly oaky.
YMCA Membership
Is your gift recipient wanting to get healthier in the new year or learn a new sport? A trial membership to the YMCA of Southwestern Indiana is the perfect way to get started. Three-month gift certificates to the Y’s Downtown and East Side locations mean members can shoot hoops, try aerial yoga, or take nutrition classes at the Upgrade Community Teaching Kitchen. The Y also offers a swim lesson gift certificate, so your gift recipient — or you! — can learn to tread water with ease and confidence.
Spa Sojourn
Give the gift of a getaway — even if only figuratively — with a bit of self-care. The Only Facial offers facials and massages along with cutting-edge skincare treatments from microdermabrasion to LED light therapy. Its special Goodie Box, filled to the brim with spa-worthy accessories for a DIY spa day at home, is complimentary with the purchase of a facial gift card. Thus, this present is a gift that keeps on giving.
