The holidays are nearly here, and that means it’s time to start getting gifts for our nearest + dearest. It’s been on trend for a while to offer experiences, rather than things, for gifts — and that’s where you come in, dear readers.

Whether you’re looking to learn a new skill or simply wanna have a good time, we’re curious: what local experiences are you eyeballing for yourself or others this holiday season?

Need some examples to get you started? We’re enamored with Chef Katie Button’s The Cúrate at Home Experience, which brings Cúrate’s most loved dishes to your door with cooking instructions + ingredients. We also know we’d be stoked to get a gift of a hands-on glass experience working one-on-one with an instructor from NC Glassworks.

And our most carnivorous relatives would be happier than a pig in slop learning how to make their own sausage from local author, farmer, butcher, and cook Meredith Leigh.

Now it’s your turn, Asheville. What local experiences will you be gifting or requesting this holiday season?
