This is a unique way to celebrate the season with employees, bond with colleagues, and add some holiday spirit to your year-end gathering. Whether you’re hosting a small team or a large group, we’ll tailor the experience to make it special for everyone.

Exclusive Christmas Experience
Journey into Santa’s Wonderland with a Private 60-Minute Santa Experience
Step into Santa’s Wonderland, where your family enjoys a private 60-minute Santa photo experience in Boise’s historic Tolleth House. Our heirloom-style portraits are designed as timeless keepsakes — far more than quick mall snapshots. Each image is hand-finished with meticulous care, creating fine art Christmas portraits your children will treasure for years.
Yoga Classes
We’re thrilled to welcome The Primitive Path into the Hidden Gem Events family while their own space is being renovated. Together, we’re creating a home for wellness, mindfulness, and community right here in downtown Meridian.
At Hidden Gem, we believe in the transformative power of nature, movement, ancient wisdom, and mindfulness. Partnering with The Primitive Path allows us to share these values in a beautiful, restorative setting—making wellness accessible for all who walk through our doors.
Through this collaboration, guests can look forward to immersive experiences designed to cultivate resilience, nurture a deep sense of community, and help each individual reconnect with their innate capacity for inner peace and vitality.
We’re so excited to support The Primitive Path on their journey to establishing their permanent home in downtown Meridian, and honored to be part of their story along the way.
