Stay inside: ClassBento.com<\/a><\/strong> is an absolute gem in the realm of experiential gifting. What tickles my fancy about this platform is its dexterity in curating an eclectic assortment of workshops and experiences, all just a click away. It’s like stepping into a treasure trove of creativity and learning, where one can indulge in pursuits as diverse as pottery, mixology, calligraphy, or even the arcane art of macaron-making. They have over over 2,500 in person and online craft and culinary workshops!<\/p>\n But what truly adds a sprinkle of stardust to the ClassBento charm is the personalized touch. Having dabbled in a whimsical terrarium-making workshop myself, I can attest that the experiences transcend the ordinary, transforming into cherished memories. The instructors are not just tutors but maestros in their craft, infusing every session with passion and expertise. ClassBento is not merely a platform; it’s a portal to a world where learning dances with leisure, and I, for one, am smitten by its delightful offerings.<\/p>\n Get outdoors: <\/b>Love the water? Patagonia has a new wetsuit that is made out of natural rubber rather than petroleum, a big move in the industry. The <\/span><\/b>Seavenger 3mm Odyssey Wetsuit with Sharkskin<\/strong><\/a> Chest <\/span>would be great for winter surfing in New York. If you prefer to ride ashore, <\/span>Krown Rookie’s Skateboard <\/b><\/span><\/a>have more than 20 years of experience in producing excellent boards. <\/span> Stay inside: <\/b>Wave catchers and environmentalists alike will enjoy <\/span>Let My People Go Surfing<\/b><\/a> – the updated book about running an ethical company with happy people (and of course, surfing) by Patagonia’s founder. Read and relax while sipping from Miir\u2019s <\/span>Reusable Beer Can<\/b><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n Stay inside: <\/b>I am obsessed with <\/span>All Good Organic Coconut Oil<\/b><\/a>. All Good sources their organic coconut from the most sustainable coconut farm in Bali, so it\u2019s super pure and ultra-hydrating. It is never tested on animals and the light scent, coconut, lemongrass or lavender, comes from certified organic essential oils. Perfect to combat dry winter skin!<\/span><\/p>\n Get outdoors: <\/b>The <\/span>Anywhere Travel Guide<\/b><\/a> directs you to complete specific tasks to engage with your environment, resulting in a richer adventuring experience. I\u2019m also a fan of giving experiences. Select from classes ranging from Electronic Music Production to Watercolor and Tango at <\/span>Coursehorse<\/b><\/a> (use this link<\/a> for $15 off) for a gift that lasts beyond the lifespan of a material object.<\/span><\/p>\n Stay inside: <\/b>If you\u2019re buying for a quirky giftee, the <\/span>Swordfight Campfire Skewers<\/b><\/a> by Uncommon Goods, crafted from salvaged steel in Salt Lake City, are a fun twist on normal marshmallow roasting sticks. <\/span><\/p>\n Get outdoors\/stay inside: <\/b>The humble water bottle in all its incarnations is a great gift for anyone of any age. Outdoorsmen or women will appreciate the portable <\/span>Collapsible Water Bottle<\/b><\/a>, which compresses for convenience.

Alternatively, <\/span>S\u2019Well<\/b><\/a>\u2019s range of designer water bottles<\/a><\/strong> are a great gift for the sustainable and stylish, and the coated or uncoated stainless steel exterior resists damage. <\/span><\/p>\n Get outdoors\/stay inside:<\/b> Nau’s Altiplano Alpaca Hat <\/b>is the only hat you\u2019ll ever need. It doesn’t pill, it’s super soft, it’s lightweight yet incredibly warm and, perhaps most importantly, it’s <\/span>not<\/span><\/i> cashmere, an environmentally hazardous fabric derived from cashmere goats, which overgraze in places like Mongolia and contribute to desertification. A beautiful alpaca hat is a great feel good gift on many levels. Bonus: 2% of every Nau purchase goes towards one of its <\/span>Partners for Change<\/b>, like Mercy Corps and Ecotrust.<\/span><\/p>\n Get outdoors: <\/b>Brooklyn’s own off-grid tech company <\/span>BioLite recently launched their <\/span>Powerlight Mini<\/b>, a sleek, bike light that also charges your phone.
