Unique Christmas Gifts

Are you stumped with what to get your spouse or even your friends? So many times we go to the mall or gift shops around and we find ourselves getting our partner another shirt or pair of jeans, or even a candle, year after year? Are you tired of getting the same gifts year after year? And what do you get someone that has everything?  Recently there was a great article about Cape Fear Games in Wilmington NC and board games reviews like The Godfather and Star Wars Rebellion.  If you didn't see that article, here's a link, click here.

Think Outside of The Box

The best gifts don't have to come from a big box store or Amazon.

Contribute to their New Year's resolutions by offering a gift that nobody else will think about, like classes! And no, we're not talking about regular college classes. Why not give your partner the gift of skills classes!  Or maybe a special event in town or maybe even a subscription box.

1. Photography Classes

Maybe the person you are buying for has always wanted to take photography classes and you've seen how passionate they are about taking the right photo. 

  • Why not buy them a mentoring session with The Shoot Space? Offering several different package options for whatever your preference is and crash course sessions, The Shoot Space is the perfect option for buying a gift for your future photographer friend. 
  • Another option is buying them a photography class at Cameron Art Museum! Cameron Art Museum offers a variety of photography style classes (and even other types of classes).

2. Cooking Classes

Do you have a friend who loves cooking? Does she take her time in the kitchen, making sure she only puts the best plates on the table? There's always something new to learn, which is why we are suggesting buying a membership for your friend to the Cape Fear Food & Wine Club. In order to reserve any classes with them that are held at The Seasoned Gourmet, you have to be a member, so why not buy an annual membership for your friend to go ahead and get the first step out of the way? This is also on the cheaper side of a gift option if you're not looking to spend too much money. Specialty classes are offered regularly.

The Seasoned Gourmet even has kid camps and cooking classes for kids for the Junior Chef in the family! Check out their website for more information by clicking here

 

3. Dance Classes 

Give the gift of dance! Dance is a great stress reliever, mood enhancer, and is also great exercise. Social dancing has even be said to increase confidence and be good for your memory. So why not give the gift of Latin dancing! 

Wilmington has a stellar and extremely welcoming Latin dancing community in town with plenty of opportunities to dance, not only in a studio setting but also in a social setting. 

If you have a friend or a loved one who loves to dance but has never decided to spend the money on classes, why not buy the gift of a class package? 

Wilmington Latin Dance is one of the more well-known Latin dance companies in town and is offering killer packages to get your friend moving their feet in no time. Maybe you could even join them. Wilmington Latin Dance also offers packages for couples!

4. Pottery Classes

Does your friend enjoy creating and being artistic? Do they always talk about wanting to learn how to do pottery? Help them get started by buying them an 8-week class session where they learn how to throw pottery.

Orange Street Pottery is a studio in town that has skilled instructors in town who have provided a variety of class times for all kinds of various schedules.
