Sulna van Wyk
Booked with my sister and mum as a gift for Mother’s Day, from the start the staff made us feel very welcome. We enjoyed a coffee before getting into it. Staff made it fun and entertaining while teaching us the secret to making the best gnocchi. Then we enjoyed a glass of wine served with Gnocchi and got a kit to take home.

Great choice for a birthday gift experience to enjoy together, as both the birthday girl and I as the giver loved it! Scrumptious yummies & champers, lovely flowers, Jemima taught us the basis of good arranging with humour and patience, and we all loved the arrangements we managed. Highly recommended Cheryl F (March 2024)

Attended the solid perfume making workshop as a gift to a friend and we loved it. It was so fun learning about how perfumes are made and building our own scents! Especially love how they save our scent and we have the choice of recreating it with other forms like candles and perfume (spray version). We definitely would go back again. The instructors were friendly and knowledgeable and provided clear + more

Went to this cooking class with my Dad as a birthday present . We had a fantastic day with Jacqui in her beautiful home kitchen in Sorrento. Class was very interactive and informative, in a fun relaxed setting. Intimate group size and the social aspect of learning and dining with others adds positively to the experience. Food was divine - wish I could have taken more of the rhubarb brûlée home! + more

I was surprised by my partner as a birthday gift and I totally enjoyed the experience. The hand pottery class was fun, simple and I’ve loved every part of it. The teacher was giving nice clues to help us to create our own piece and we had enough time to finish them. I particularly liked the fact that we could do multiple pieces for the same price. I would recommend this class to anyone who want + more

Best birthday presents for men who love DIY
We have a wide range of DIY workshops that would make the perfect birthday presents for men who love to roll up their sleeves, get their hands dirty and tap into their inner creativity. You might like to challenge stereotypes by signing up the special man in your life for a perfume making workshop in the Melbourne CBD (who says men don’t love having their own signature scent?) It’s the ultimate mindful, relaxing workshop after work or a fun date night idea, where they can unwind the day away surrounded by pleasing, fragrant scents. For the man who loves getting creative with paint, try a resin art or acrylic pouring class in Richmond. Help them express their inner artist and experiment with different colours to create their own unique design.
Our DIY workshops also help them learn something new or explore a craft they’ve always wanted to try. As they get stuck into creating, it helps them slow down and focus on the present, freeing them up to just relax and connect with their loved ones. Our classes are beginner-friendly, which means that anyone can join in on the fun! Whether you’re searching for birthday experiences for him or birthday gifts for women, there’s an art, craft or foodie workshop for everyone in your life.
