Giving people socks or electronics for Christmas has gotten so lame, right? Things like that hold all the fascination of a rock after a while, and that's why we're excited for Curiosity Atlas's first-ever "experience" gift market. By "experience" gifts, they mean stuff that cultivates a child-like sense of learning and wonder through workshops, classes and outings provided by local experts and unique organizations such as 18 Reasons, Rayko Photo Center, Happy Girl Kitchen, SF Center for the Book, and even the SF Circus Center!

Because nothing says "Merry Christmas" like the gift of a trapeze class, snap up such sweet gifts at the Verdi Clubthis Wednesday from 5-9 pm, when dozens of vendors will come together to offer up said trapeze classes as well as wine blending classes, digital photography sessions and much, much more. Tickets and the full list of vendors can be found here. And to top it all off, a portion of the proceeds from the event will go to Pie Ranch, a community farm and learning center.
