2021 Holiday Gift Guide
Giving thoughtful gifts is easy when you work for a company like SkillPop, so in the spirit of the season we’re sharing all the different ways our team likes to gift!
Founder and CEO Haley loves shopping small and supporting the teachers we work with. “As a small business owner myself, I’m always looking for ways to shop local. This year I’m focusing on ordering commissions from some of our teachers and gifting local coffee!”
Amelia, our Community Planner, loves putting SkillPop class skills to use to create handmade gifts for people. “The practical side of me loves SkillPop classes for learning new skills for gift ideas. Whether it’s a cozy scarf, watercolor house portrait, or a handlettered ornament, not only have I learned fun, new hobbies from SkillPop classes, but I am also able to create unique gifts for my loved ones!”
Customer Care lead Bonnie’s family lives in different states, so she loves to share class experiences with them virtually. “With my sister in California and my parents in Texas, SkillPop classes allow us the perfect opportunity to do something fun and new together as a family even though we can’t be together in person for the holidays.”
Our team believes gifting should be fun and stress-free, so we’ve pulled together a bunch of tried-and-true ideas just for you! Let SkillPop be your one-stop shop and use the guide below to find the perfect gifts for loved ones (or yourself!) this year. 🎉
