Philadelphia Experience Gifts

According to the popular TV show, “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”. Now this might not be the case this winter, but there is always plenty to smile about as the city warms up for Christmas.

And no city does it like Philly does it. The main department store, formerly the John Wanamaker Building, now the home of Lord and Taylor, is the grandest in the US.

Every hour visitors get a show in the mall’s atrium. But outside the temperature’s falling, so when it comes to gifts, perhaps the best ones are those that keep your friends and families indoors.

Instead of them going out to buy an ornament, you could help them create their own at glass blowing classes. Equally, they could be dancing the night away with some Dance Lessons in Society Hill.

Now if you think you know someone who likes to tour the town in search of food, but all in the hope of rounding it off inside with a beer or two, there are several tours to suit.

There’s also a ghost tour for people who prefer a little chill, to a winter warmer. And for the loved one who always wished they picked up a manual skill, there’s wood carving to help them make some gifts of their own…

Philadelphia has been the backdrop for many a famous movie: Remember Sly Stallone triumphantly reaching the top of those steps in Rocky? Well, that was filmed just outside of Philly’s Museum of Art – If you’ve a gift to get for a Philly movie buff, then don’t bother with the DVD, instead get them on a movie tour of town, and this way they’ll soon have this classic story and others brought to life.
