Most popular gift cards for friends

When you’re looking to treat your bestie or celebrate a special occasion with your whole friendship group, you need a gift that guarantees laughs and lasting memories – and nothing beats a shared ClassBento experience! The most popular voucher ideas for friends are always the ones that combine creativity with a brilliant social atmosphere: top sellers include sip and paint workshops, where you can chat and giggle over wine while creating a masterpiece, or our famously fun pottery wheel classes that lead to wonky pots and a lot of laughs.

For friends who bond over banter and bites, culinary and cocktail experience vouchers are a guaranteed hit. The gift of a fresh pasta making class allows you all to learn a delicious new skill together before tucking into the fruits of your labour – it’s hands-on, sociable, and incredibly tasty! Alternatively, a cocktail making class is the ultimate social session, giving your gang the mixology secrets they need to whip up killer drinks for all your future gatherings. A gift card for a group activity is a thoughtful way to ditch the passive present and give the incredible gift of quality time, wellbeing, and shared laughter.
