The family you choose deserves a table, too

Thanksgiving is for family. Friendsgiving is for the people who became family along the way: the college roommate who still answers at 2 a.m., the coworker who turned into a sister, the neighbor who always brings the good mac and cheese.

This November, we want to help you gather them.

Introducing Friendsgiving at She Is Experiences

Friendsgiving at She Is Experiences is an evening built around two things that bring people together: good food and something made with your own hands.

Here's how it works:

Bring your crew. Friendsgiving is a group experience for 6 or more guests.
Bring a dish. It's a potluck, so everyone contributes something to the table. Grandma's recipe, your famous dessert, or the store-bought rolls you're not ashamed of. All are welcome.
Make something together. While the plates fill up, we guide your group through a fragrance-making experience. Everyone leaves with something they made, and a scent that will always remind them of this night.

Why fragrance makes the memory

Scent is tied to memory more closely than any other sense. It's why one whiff of cinnamon can take you right back to a holiday kitchen.

When you make a fragrance with your friends, you're creating an intentional experience. You're bottling the night: the laughter, the stories, the second helping. Months from now, when you light that candle or spritz that perfume, you'll be right back at the table.

Perfect for

Friend groups who want a new tradition
Girls' nights with a holiday twist
Coworkers and teams celebrating before the holiday rush
Church groups, sororities, book clubs, and women's circles
Anyone who's spending the holidays away from home and wants to feel at home
