Experience gifts for the craftsman

We’ve all got that person in our life that’s hard to buy for, and thinking of birthday gift ideas can feel more like a chore than anything else. They either already have what they want, or they make life accidentally difficult by buying something the moment they decide they want it. That’s where ClassBento’s experience gifts come in.

Experience gifts have been rapidly gaining popularity in the last decade, and work wonders if you’re struggling to narrow down your birthday present ideas. Searching for 40th birthday present ideas for a man who likes to work with his hands? Maybe the tool-shed or garage needs a bit of a revamp, but you don’t know where to start?
