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!

10 Great Experience Gifts

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 creative ways to have something under the tree to tell them about your vacation gift!

3. Monthly floral delivery.

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

4. A sorority recruitment prep package from Recruitment Ready!

Perfect for the high school senior because sorority recruitment is something you don’t want to go in uniformed. Recruitment Ready offers e-gift certificates for one-on-one sessions and their full service Get Her to Bid Day Bundle and their Everything Package!

5. 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. 

6. A car wash or detail right in their driveway!

This is a great gift for the person who has everything! Pair with a cheesy air freshener so they have something to open!

7. National Parks pass. 

A pass is a great family gift paired with a coffee table book!

8. Wagyu Steak subscription.

He’ll love a subscription to Cowboy Wagyu! Print out the subscription and pair with new steak knives  you can pick up locally.

9. Treat them to a new craft or hobby!

Maybe she wants to learn how to needlepoint so check out local stores (like Saville Needleworks in Dallas) for local classes. Pair with a little set from Michael’s you can buy online and pick up in store to have something to wrap up. Or try this online stitching class with Hibiscus Linens would be so fun paired with a sewing kit.

10. Golf club fitting! 

Or a gift card to Top Golf! Pair a gift card with golf balls you can grab on Amazon! Great teen or young adult gift!
