Holiday Gift Guide: 5 Houston Experiences
The countdown to Christmas is on! You’ve probably started thinking about or purchased some gifts for the loved ones on your list. You’ve maybe even considered gifting a candle, a coffee mug, jewelry, etc, but have you thought about gifting the actual experience of creating those things? One of the many upsides of Houston being in the top 5 largest cities in the country is the amount of cool resources available! I wanted to highlight a few local Houston experiences that you can gift this Holiday season.
Create your own Candle

“The Candle Bar is an exciting event where guests can bring out their creative flair and make two scented candles to take away with them. The relaxed atmosphere of Forth & Nomad's flagship store in The Heights means that each guest can enjoy complimentary drinks as they mix up their own signature combination with the 40 different fragrances available.”
Make your own Coffee Mug

I recently gifted my Houston bestie the individual lesson, which is a two-hour session for 1-2 people with a dedicated teacher. She and I are going this weekend and looking forward to making our own coffee mug or bowl!
Customize your own Permanent Jewelry

“Our permanent jewelry, called the Eterna Permanent Jewelry™ collection, is a 14k gold or sterling silver chain that is custom-sized just for you and welded permanently and painlessly in a flash! Because it is welded together, the chain does not need a clasp and you don't ever have to take it off, unless you want to! It's the ultimate friendship bracelet, so fun and easy and oh-so chic! You can add any of our exclusive diamond or gemstone charms or connectors if you'd like to add a little sparkle!”
Become more fluent in Wine
This is a photo I snapped at a Holiday wine tasting party with EveryWine two years ago! They offer a variety of tasting experiences and can even come to your house if you prefer.
Have your own Style Look Book
Did you know I offer gift certificates on my website? You can print one off to hand a tangible gift to your wife, daughter, mother! Here is an example of one of my look books. My Styling Session service is where the magic happens. I style out and photograph head to toe looks that are printed out and easy to reference when you’re running out the door or trying to pack for a trip.
So, there you have it! Five non-clothing, personalized experiences you can gift to the loved ones in your life. If you have a local Houston experience you recommend let me know :)
