How gifting works

Thoughtful in three steps.

  1. 1

    Choose

    Pick a specific experience — a Date Night, a class, a kids' camp — or gift an open amount and let them decide.

  2. 2

    We send it beautifully

    The gift arrives by email with your personal note, ready to forward or print. It's on its way the moment you check out.

  3. 3

    They schedule when ready

    No calendars to coordinate — the recipient books whenever suits them, and the balance never expires.

Gifting for clients, staff, or a whole team?

We handle everything — bulk orders, your branding, personalized notes, and white-glove delivery. You look generous and coordinate nothing.

The kind of gift people remember

I had an amazing experience at Life Plus Pasta Making! The instructor was personable, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He shared how he developed these classes, and it was clear that his own curiosity and love of learning inspired the entire experience. He was incredibly patient with everyone, while still guiding us in a way that made sure we actually learned the techniques instead of just following directions. By the end of the class, we had made a meal that was absolutely delicious. It was hard to believe that something so good came from our own hands! I will 100% be taking another class. They offer such a wide variety of classes for different interests that I have a feeling I'll be coming back for quite a while. If you're thinking about trying one, don't hesitate—you'll leave with new skills, great food, and a memorable experience.

My colleagues and I had an incredible time at Life Plus LA! Marc led our team of 8 through the baking course. We spent 1.5 hours learning, socializing, laughing and enjoying our way through creating biscuits, fruit tarts and bundt cakes. Marc was so incredibly knowledgable, witty, and a pleasure to be around. After the baking was complete, Marc set us up in the cafe to enjoy our creations. We spent another 1.5 hours there. Finally, we packaged our leftovers and went on our way! I can't wait to try some of the other classes!

My husband and I booked a Thai cooking class with Marc for date night and it was such a treat. The 5 star reviews are well deserved. We loved how thorough and knowledgeable Marc was about cooking and the food science. He makes sure to teach you not just how but also why, you’re doin something. Not to mention the food tasted amazing and we were so pleased with how everything turned out. Do not hesitate to book! 10/10 recommend :)

Such a good time! Our class was the Vietnamese course and it was very well crafted and structured. We enjoyed learning how to handle spring rolls, flavor and plate pho, and make a delicious hearty crepe. My goal was to learn some techniques and I walked out with some new ones!

Good to know

Gifting questions, answered.

Do Life Plus gift cards expire?
Never. The balance stays on the card until it's used, and it carries over across visits — no pressure to spend it all at once.
Can the recipient use it toward anything?
Yes. Whether you gift a specific experience or an amount, it applies to any Life Plus class or experience.
Can it be exchanged or refunded?
Gift cards aren't refundable or redeemable for cash, and can't be resold — but since the balance never expires, there's never a rush to use it.
Gifting for a client list or a whole team?
That's our concierge track — bulk orders, your branding, personalized notes, and white-glove delivery. See Corporate & Client Gifting.
