Worried About Gifts Arriving On Time? Check Our These Virtual Gift Ideas!
Gift-giving is hard enough as it is, but it became nearly impossible last year with a pandemic thrown into the mix. We all got pretty creative though, and collectively discovered the wonderful world of virtual and experience gifts. So just because you may be able to gather together this year, don't let all that extra inspiration fall to the wayside. Whatever the reason — whether you're spending the holidays away from family and friends, are worried about shipping delays, or simply have too much on your plate to dedicate a day to wrapping presents — browse through these creative virtual gift ideas to find the perfect something for everyone on your Christmas list.
While gift cards are a fail-safe option, these digital gifts are far more unique, especially if you're shopping for beer lovers (a craft beer subscription), wine enthusiasts (a monthly wine subscription), or someone in need of overdue TLC (a box of self-care goodies). While subscriptions are by far the most popular type of virtual gift out there, this list also includes plenty of one-time picks that can be enjoyed all year, like year-long access to the U.S. National Parks or a piece of custom artwork.
If you waited until the last minute (shh, we won't tell), these gifts are your best bet because they can be delivered straight to their door within a few days' time or, even better, instantly delivered online. No last-minute wrapping or trips to the post office are needed.
*Speaking of custom artwork...
Keep our virtual painting classes in mind!!! We offer virtual events where you can paint along with us during our live class at the studio OR paint at home, anytime you want with our Paint Kits!
With these kits, you can give anyone the gift of creating art! How fun would it be to deliver a basket of art supplies to someone as a gift? They can make art anytime they want and they have a huge library of paintings to choose from.
In addition to the virtual classes, you can give someone a work of art that YOU made for them, whether through an in-studio class or a virtual one of your own!

A WINE DELIVERY
Have a surprise shipment of wine delivered to your doorstep? Amazing. One of our go-to's for memorable but affordable bottles is Winc. Before your brother-in-law starts sipping, Winc will have him fill out a six-question quiz that will determine his palate profile. From the results, the experts at Winc recommend four vinos he’s sure to love. From there, he can make swaps or additions based on the assortment. Plus, new wines are added to the site daily, so he can try new pairings every month. And, better yet, he can rate his wines after he sips them, to get the most accurate recommendations each month.

Uncommon Experiences
Send all your giftees one of the Uncommon Experience's fun classes, where they can learn how to draw, make cocktails, or even get a tarot card reading.
