Gift of learning is holiday offering by Menlo Park-based Curious.com
Menlo Park-based Curious.com has launched a new program called the Gift of Learning which allows anyone to select from a variety of courses on Curious.com to find just the right fit for friends, family, or colleagues.
“Learning is such a great gift,” said Curious.com CEO and founder, Justin Kitch (pictured). “So many material gifts start collecting dust or end up in the landfill, but giving somebody a new skill can enrich a person for a lifetime. We are super excited to spread the joy and sense of accomplishment that comes from learning something new.”
To gift a course, go to Curious.com and click on the gift icon next to any course. Gift-givers can then create a personal gift message and schedule a delivery date. The course recipient will own the course and will be able to watch it again and again.
As a side bonus, people can shop for courses until the very last minute. Delivery of gift messages and course access happens instantly. If the gift recipient prefers a different course instead, no problem — the course credit is fully transferrable to any another Curious.com course.
Curious offers more than 10,000 interactive, video-based lessons and courses available to anyone, anytime they feel like learning something new. Most courses typically range from $9.99 to $99.99. Some popular courses perfect for gifting include:
- Gifts for The Crafter (jewelry making, crocheting and quilting)
- Gifts for The DIY’er (projects for the home, gardening and mosaic projects)
