The hosts for the candle-making class were Atahya and Jennifer. They both did a fantastic job of facilitating detailed instructions on how to craft candles to our liking. They also welcomed bringing wine bottles to sip while making candles. First, the group and I were able to get up and smell different candle scents. My top four favorites were the Espresso, Strawberry, Cupcake, and Fig. I proceeded to grab one of the medium-sized golden brown jars from the wall and then sat back down. Atahya directed us to stir the scents in two separate little beakers. Then, we poured the mixtures into a big candle jar and a little candle jar, along with the hot candle wax liquid. Finally, we stirred everything for about 2-3 minutes to let it set. Jennifer was able to come over and finish the candle product for us by cleaning it, solidifying it, etc. In the interim, while the candles were being set, Atahya led engaging, interactive activities. We did a candle-themed trivia and sang songs, karaoke style. Both opportunities made the time go by so much faster. We all had a great time! Overall, the experience was totally epic. I highly recommend coming to ReWax and UnWine to craft good-smelling candles while having a blast!

My goal for this year has been to try new things and have new experiences. And as someone who loves…read moreto create, work with my hands, get messy and fill my home with things that I made, a potter course was a no brainer! Blue Skies Pottery has been on my radar for a while. I no longer live in Hoboken, but still really wanted to try my hand at their wheel course! For 2 hours, you get to done an apron, and learn from one of their very kind and patient instructors. We first made a bowl but mine somehow did not make it to the actual bowl stage. I was encouraged by the intructor saying that going too far is what pottery is all about. Why play it safe when you can just mush it back into a big ball and start over. So try 2 was for a vase! Sure it's short and swirly and imperfect but I personally love it and it now holds all of my make up brushes proudly. Their beginners course is $75 for a two hour lesson. You can choose to fire your piece or pieces for an additional $15 a piece. So really the wonky vase you think looks silly is actually a $90 ceramic masterpiece... You pick them up a month later and marvel at the fact that this was just a blob of clay 30 days prior. I'm now soooo excited to try one of the 6 week courses and get better and better, but really just mostly love the idea of working with my hands uninterrupted each week. Thanks for a wonderful experience!!

First rule of pottery class...don't be sorry. Second rule…read moreof pottery class...just have fun. Our instructor, Sue, was welcoming as soon as we arrived. Each class holds a maximum of 8 people (please don't be late). This was always something I wanted to do ever since I saw the film, Ghost. Sue makes it a point to know everyone's name from the start but she gave me a special one...mom, because I came with my 21 year old son. Lol. She kept the entire class laughing throughout by getting to know each of us personally. I really enjoyed the group we were with. I already knew that I wanted to make a bowl so I can display it in my home. I wound up with a little dish instead. On my 2nd attempt I was like okay, you got this, you can make a bowl. I must have put too much pressure on the clay while going too fast on the pedal. Sue shouts out...look at mom go, she made another good looking plate. I guess I can use it as a jewelry dish. The pieces need time to dry. Choose the colors you want on the wall and they will glaze it for you. You pick up the finished pieces in 4 weeks. Please check out their website for prices. This was an introduction session but they also have weekly classes. I thought it was so sweet of Sue to ask if I had fun. I replied...I sure did because YOU made it fun for all of us!!! I highly recommend this activity if you've never done it before. I found it very therapeutic. You will also have the softest skin ever after you wash the clay off your hands. I had a blast. This place is located in Hoboken, NJ, hometown of Frank Sinatra. It's full of tree lined streets, cafes, and amazing restaurants. So come make a day out of it.

We were able to talk and paint and also listen to the instructor. Honestly as someone who is not artistic my painting came out pretty nice. I would definitely come back and recommend to do this for a bday, girls night or date idea. There is a parking garbage near by . It's Hoboken, so parking is not easy so keep that in mind and go early.

This is a wonderful place to have a date night!…read more My date and I learned how to paint alongside other people who signed up for the class. There were only 10 participants (including ourselves), so it was not too rowdy at all. You're expected to bring your own wine and snacks for the event because it will last up to four hours (6-9pm) but time goes by quickly when you're having fun. There will be music playing while you paint and you're free to talk, so don't stress about this being taking super seriously. The painting is taken step-by-step and the instructor was a very patient young woman. She encouraged us to ask questions and request help if needed. She who knew her craft, but never looked down on us if we weren't painting exactly to the original material. After all, art is subjective. By the end of the event, you'll be able to take your painting home so it's encouraged to leave your signature. I felt incredibly proud of my work and it's a great conversation topic to go on about for the rest of the night. I would come back over and over again, as long as I have a partner with me. It's more fun with someone you know.

Hudson Paperie is an adorable gift shop on Washington Street. It's the perfect place to visit if…read moreyou are looking for a card or gift item. They have some really funky gifts that I haven't seem in other places. I've been buying a ton of wedding related gifts for friends and I always seem to find the same things. At Hudson Paperie they have really unique gift items that I haven't seen before. They also offer monogrammed gifts and New Jersey themed gifts if you are looking for something that has a personal touch. When I got engaged my friend got me a wooden and marble monogrammed cheese board from HP and I love it. In fact, I loved it so much that I went out and got that same gift for another friend's engagement. While the gift shop portion of Hudson Paperie is fantastic, I'm knocking off a star because I was not too impressed with their wedding invitation service. The consultation does not feel super personal, they mainly just throw a ton of big books at you to look through on your own. Which is not a huge deal, but but not for the price. Invites here are incredibly expensive - more expensive than most other invite avenues that I've come across. So for that price, it would have been nice to go through different styles with a consultant instead of being left to sort through 100+ books on my own. But, if you are fine with that they do have tons of styles in their books to choose from. So the selection is great, I just was not too impressed with the service for the price.

The space itself is clean, spacious, and thoughtfully designed -- plenty of room for both kids and adults to enjoy comfortably. The play area kept all the children entertained, with a wide variety of toys, games, and activities suitable for different ages (from babies to toddlers to young kids).   The venue handled all of the themed décor as part of the package we selected, which made things so easy for us. Everything -- from the tableware and balloons to the banners -- looked amazing, and many parents commented that they couldn't believe the venue took care of it all! The room where the kids had their lunch was especially adorable. It was such a relief to be able to just show up and enjoy the day without having to stress about setup or decorations. I also really appreciated the well-structured itinerary. The flow of the party worked perfectly, and it was great that the kids could go back to the play area after eating -- it helped keep the energy and excitement going.   While the party was a bit on the pricier side (understandably, there are taxes, service fees/gratuity and credit card charges on top of the base package), I still felt it was a good value given what was included. Food for both kids and adults was covered, and after researching many local venues, Urban Jungle Play offered the most at this price point. I also appreciated that they're flexible about allowing outside food and drinks, which not all venues permit.   Lastly, a special shoutout to Gaurav, who was incredibly professional and courteous throughout the process. He quickly resolved any small issues that came up and made sure everything ran smoothly -- a great example of top-notch customer service.   Overall, our daughters and all their friends had an absolute blast, and we left feeling so happy with our choice. I'd highly recommend Urban Jungle Play to any parents looking for a fun, well-organized, and stress-free venue for a birthday party!
