When holidays and birthdays roll around, it’s often hard to know what gifts to get people. Giving people stuff is so 2010. These days, most people have everything that they need when it comes to physical possessions.  Sometimes gifts can fall flat, and other times, a physical object that doesn’t quote match the recipient’s taste can be downright unwelcome. Likewise, many people simply don’t have space to store a new kayak or rubber dinghy. So, what can you get for the people who have everything? Here are a few ideas.

A Masterclass in Their Favorite Cuisines

One cool idea is to give people a master class in their favourite cuisine. If they absolutely love to bake, then sending them on a bakery course can be a great idea. They can learn all of the essentials so that they can replicate the experience in their kitchen. The same goes for other niche cooking, like preparing Korean food or making the perfect burger.

Master classes are becoming increasingly popular, especially as people travel more. They want to recreate the flavours that they have experienced overseas, but it’s often not clear how to do that from scratch, even if they follow a recipe book. Taking a master class with a skilled instructor can be a great way to provide your loved one with skills they can take forward with them into the rest of their life.

When it comes to unique activities (especially on a rainy day like today), I don’t think you could plan better than to spend an hour inside Cascade: A Jen Stark Experience; an immersive, interactive, wildly psychedelic digital art experience presented across 6,000 square feet of exhibition space at the William Vale Hotel in Brooklyn. If you’re curious whether Cascade — which is currently competing with two immersive digital Van Gogh exhibits, and Banksy’s Genius or Vandal — is worth the trek from Manhattan to Brooklyn, let me assure you that it is all that and a bag of shrooms.

Come take a peek inside.

In March of 2019, I attended a fun event-thing called the Barbie 60th Anniversary Pop-Up Experience, which was just insane. Imagine being wedged into a crowded labyrinth of bright lights, neon colors, and every type of Barbie-branded doll in the universe, including Gender-Nonconforming Barbie and Dad-Bod Ken. Now, add little kids with their parents, and millennial Instagram-whores, and you’re got an idea of the scenario that I consider myself lucky to have survived with my sanity intact. Still: super fun!
