Greetings Ya'll:
When I thought about this post initially, I was thinking only in terms of a gift giving guide for the procrastinator. And in truth, all of these gifts can be put together in a few moments in front of the computer. But better yet, they involve the gift of time well spent: reading, cooking, knitting, making art, seeing movies ... all things that can also be done together. Read on!
Unlimited Book Subscription
I recently discovered this: Oyster Books
If any of yours happen to be serious on-device readers, this is a huge Eureka!
For $9.95 per month, you can download unlimited bestselling books. I went through the site extensively, and the selection is tremendous - genres include kids books, pulitzer winners, fiction, non-fiction, classics - even Oprah's favs.
I am giving this to my father and hubby, both of whom are voracious readers.
A proper adventure is a welcome gift.
Below are a few ideas: admittedly, this is Denver-centric, but moments of digging can unearth great adventures anywhere along the lines of those listed below.Cooking Class
Check out their schedule here.
Screen Printing Class
INK LOUNGE is a Denver hub of screen printing magic. Owners Stu and Nicky are masters at teaching their art. They offer multiple class options, including for kids. I did a class with a girlfriends, and it was outrageously fun (we even had wine!). No artistic skills are required (for real). You can see their workshop listings here.
Knitting Class
THE LAMB SHOPPE in Denver's Congress Park neighborhood is a cozy haven of colorful skein lined walls and cushy chairs. For any of your peops who have expressed an interest in learning to knit or learning to knit better, the Lamb Shoppe offers a variety of classes and is staffed by knitting masters.
There is even a class for kids. Tempted.
See their schedule here.
Art Classes
ART STUDENTS LEAGUE
Tucked in the middle of an old Denver neighborhood, the Art Students League resides in a beautiful Landmark building, replete with high windows, sputtering radiators and worn wooden floors. The ASL offers a broad variety of classes in the arts: everything from paint to sculpting to photography. Instructors are both accomplished artists and gifted instructors.
Peruse their catalog here.
It is simple and inventive to give an 'experience' as a gift.
Other ideas:
Sewing classes (see Fancy Tiger)
Movie Night
Concert Tickets
Play/Performance Tickets
Spa Gift Certificate
