Experiential gifts offer something beyond the fleeting joy of giving or receiving the perfect object. They offer a chance to learn a new skill, indulge in self-care, or explore a passion in a way that lasts beyond the moment.
Whether it’s diving into pottery or discovering the art of papermaking, these experiences invite hands-on involvement and personal expression. For those who crave a challenge or relaxation, from climbing repurposed industrial silos to unwinding in a spa, there’s something to inspire gift ideas for everyone.
Cooking classes at Appetite for Books
Appetite for Books is Montreal’s concept cookbook store, blending a curated selection of literature with unique culinary experiences. Led by Chef Jonathan, seasonal cooking classes inspired by carefully chosen cookbooks invite guests to enjoy a meal while exploring new flavours and techniques. If you're looking for a group gift, they offer private classes for groups of 6-10 people, with food demonstrations, a 4-course tasting menu, and it’s BYOB.
