Upon arriving at the studio we were welcomed by the lovely Kylie, Zia, the gorgeous studio pup and blown away by the spectacular Bayview water view. As we settled in with our bubbles, we started discussing with Kylie the construct of the painting and the next 3 hours just flowed. The music in the studio never stopped nor did the chatter, laughter and cuddles from Zia. Kylie provided us a few options and we ended up combining a couple of her artwork into one. She was wonderful in listening to our suggestions and we improvised to personalise the artwork. We mixed and created new colours and she was ever so accommodating with our ideas as well as having absolutely all the tools there for us ready when we need them. Kylie also has a super positive and energetic personality. My girlfriend and I felt that we had a well-being reawakening after spending the morning with Kylie and is already planning family activities next with Kylie. Not to worry if you’re not particularly artistic, Kylie can cater for the needs of the different experiences! Just sign up and be prepared to enjoy! + more

Celebrating middle-age may feel like a contradiction in terms but it’s a fantastic time to let your hair down and make the most of it before you hit the big fifty! With so many incredible things to do in Sydney, anyway, it would be a shame to not use any excuse possible to make the most of what the harbour city offers! Classbento’s experience gifts are a wonderful way to show how well you know the birthday recipient and allows them to create a memory as opposed to receiving another material gift. With so many unique experiences Sydney has to brag about, making the most of your 40th birthday gift ideas is crucial to showing them how much you care.
With so many Sydney workshops to choose from, narrowing down the perfect experience gift might not be the easiest task. But we’re here to help! Searching for 40th birthday gifts for a creative type? Our art classes come in an array of shapes, sizes and mediums, and give you an unparalleled variety to choose from. Whether you’re looking for something casual like a watercolour class you can enjoy a glass of wine at, or a more intermediate session like an oil painting workshop, ClassBento’s range of art courses will have the 40th birthday gift ideas for the wife sorted in no time! If you’re chasing something slightly more adventurous, our wine and paint evenings vary on subject, from painting your dog to painting each other! Classes are entirely BYO, so they don’t just make for quirky 40th birthday gift ideas, but are also a great option if you’re looking for a birthday party theme to boot!
If they’re more of the cooking sort, our chocolate workshops will have you stepping inside a real-life chocolate factory, making for one of the sweetest 40th birthday gift ideas in Sydney! Learn how to cook and pour chocolate, and construct exquisite truffles in one of the best Sydney workshops ClassBento has available! With so many sweet things to do in Sydney, it’s hard to walk past the chance to make your own chocolate.
Even though ClassBento’s Sydney workshops are teeming with unique flair and character, they do all have one major thing in common: the teachers. All of ClassBento’s instructors aren’t just highly qualified in their chosen disciplines, but they also all have extensive experience in creating inclusive and enjoyable learning environments for students to thrive in! Nearly all of our Sydney workshops offer you the opportunity to book either public or private classes, depending on specific requirements and the size of the group. Many of our instructors offer special packages and additional extras for celebratory groups, so never hesitate to make contact with the class instructor prior to the lesson, to see if there is any way they could further personalise your 40th birthday gift ideas. If you’re looking into cooking classes, most of them cater to varying dietary requirements, but always check to ensure they can cater for you and/or the birthday boy or girl.
