It was also very accessible as someone who doesn't have much experience with plants or gardening. Wattle + Bee was a lovely + more

Freeform Clay Hand Building Class - Private
We contacted Bettina because we wanted to make a personalized housewarming gift for our friend. Bettina was warm, welcoming and extremely helpful. She gave us individual attention and tailored her instructions to our projects.

I received this as a Birthday Present from Family as I’d already started to try and make pizza doughs but not with great success. Roberto was very informative with the processes of making the Sourdough pizzas. He answered everyone’s questions with great depth and detail.

Georgia Alikaris
This was a surprise gift for myself and my two besties from my husband. The location is easy find, with lots of parking and close to the train station, great explanation from the teacher and quite easy to learn. I wish there was a greater variety of neutral tone yarn but the variety of bright colours is awesome. The girls and I had so much fun and our designs turned out awesome. It's best to pick + more

When I opened the box, I was happy to see the quality of materials provided is excellent. The kit includes everything you need to get started right away, no rummaging for tape or pencils, literally everything is here. The silk had been cut to the right size and even the frame had been taped up ready for me, I was pleasantly surprised by the care that had gone into creating the kits. Speaking of which, + more

Watercolour Painting Class: Impressionist Style
"The best birthday gift I've ever had!" said my girlfriend after Tony's painting class. We were both absolute beginners and Tony patiently taught us the basics in a fun, educational, and hands-on way. He is both an expert and a natural motivator and his sunny artist studio was just a relaxing space to be inspired. I have no doubt he has lots to offer experienced painters, but if you're a beginner look + more

We had great fun at this class, got a good few handy chef tips and made a delicious meal. Tracy and June were lovely and we learnt a lot. We’ll certainly be making scrumptious gnocchi at home - especially now we understand the joys of a potato ricer and the importance of hot potatoes! The cooking class was a Christmas gift to my husband and we had a great night out together - a gift that gives t + more

The perfume-making class was a gift from my husband. I am obsessed with perfumery and has a reasonable knowledge about the subject. I thought that I may not learn anything new. Gosh I was wrong! Louella is a fun and engaging teacher and very knowledgeable about the science and history of perfumery. We had lots of laughs. I enjoyed it immensely and have been recommending the class to my friends. I + more

I gave this pizza class to my partner as his bday present and we love it. We did the dough, next step we did our own pizza was an amazing experience. The group was also nice and we share our experiences with other couples that attended the class. Looking forward to invite some friends over for pizza night

I received a gift card for the Level 1 class as a Christmas present and had a fantastic time! Mark was a great teacher and it was a very enjoyable. I have zero experience in any artwork and wasn’t sure what to expect - turned out to be really fun to experiment and make some colourful glass creations.

Our unique experience gifts in Australia are the perfect opportunity for bonding with loved ones, with each of our hands-on workshops designed for shared participation, fostering connections and enjoying quality time. They also come with scheduling flexibility, allowing your gift recipient to choose when and where they'd like to partake.
