I learnt a lot while she was teaching and with the added benefit of drinking tea at the same time. The actual tea blending was so fun and to learn along the way of the different mixes and types was amazing. I highly recommend this class as a birthday or Christmas gift or even as a fun hens party experience. Thank you, Amy! + more

LouellaI did the Kiss Ready Lip’s perfume-making course yesterday, and it was fantastic. I’ve wanted to create my own signature scent for quite a while, and this short course exceeded all expectations. Louella guided us through a brief history of perfume, the science behind it and the creative possibilities. Then came the fun part: choosing from around 200 different scents to build a balanced fragrance pyramid and create our own unique signature blend! Louella has a real gift for explaining things. Her passion shines through, and you can tell this is her calling. She’s incredibly generous with her knowledge and time. We went beyond the allotted session, but she kept teaching and helping us get the most out of the experience. I’ll definitely be recommending this to friends and family, and I’m already planning to buy a few gift cards. An outstanding experience. Highly recommend. 11 out of 10! + more

One ticket had been booked as a Christmas gift and the other booked online. This course was well run and instructions were very clear and you could tell our teacher was passionate and experienced with making sourdough. The ebook was a great addition to take home as there were lots of things to remember. It was much appreciated that we could take home a very special 95+ year starter. We are both excited to keep baking sourdough. Thanks @fermentedmother for an inspiring class. + more

Got a new appreciation for all the hard work that goes into a good oyster. Also, it was nice to be out on the Hawkesbury and have the leases explained. The tasting was good as we really appreciated how good a Sydney Rock Oyster is! And we learned to shuck properly. Learning about the different oysters and the pearl industry was fascinating. + more

40th Birthday Gift Ideas
What to look for in a 40th birthday gift in 2026
Your 40th birthday is an important milestone. You're not just getting older – you're getting wiser, more confident and more carefree. For many, your 40s is a decade of personal growth, exploration and freedom. Maybe your kids are more independent, meaning more time for personal pursuits. Maybe your career is finally where you want it to be, or you're thinking about pivoting to pursue something else. Perhaps you're ready to hit the road and travel the world. Whatever it is, your 40s is a moment worth celebrating – and it deserves more than a cake and a bottle of wine.
The best 40th birthday gift ideas are all about deepening connections and creating memories, rather than adding more stuff to someone's house. If you're unsure what to get, think about what makes your giftee tick. Your cocktail-obsessed friend who's always watching bartending videos? A mixology workshop is perfect. Your sister who stops to admire every handmade mug? Pottery class, obviously. Finding the perfect present is all about showing you pay attention to what they love and enjoy.
Consider their day-to-day life too. If they work a stressful job, or they're a full-time carer for their kids, a chill candle-making session might be exactly what they need. Social people will love group activities like paint and sip where they can laugh and connect with friends. Creative types might get excited about making something beautiful with their own hands, be it a clay mug or a mosaic lamp.
Let's be real, at this time in life, most adults talk themselves out of picking up new hobbies due to fear of failure. That's why the best 40th birthday ideas give people permission to try something new. No pressure. No expectations. Just the joy of being a beginner!
Popular 40th birthday presents for men
Skip the socks and scotch glasses! In 2026, give your main man something more memorable: an experience he’ll be talking about when he's 50! With our curated collection of gifts for him, finding 40th birthday presents for men is easy. No last-minute panic scrolls – just gift experiences he's guaranteed to love.
Tickle his taste buds with Italian cooking classes
Send him to an authentic Italian cooking class where he can master handmade pasta like a nonna. These hands-on foodie experiences make for a hearty birthday gift – and they're way more useful than another BBQ apron. Why not head along together and make a day of it?
Experiment with metalworking and silversmithing
Metalworking or silversmithing classes let him fire things up (literally) and create something with his own two hands. Think handmade rings, keyrings, or even a custom bottle opener — future family heirloom pending!
Gin distilling classes and mixology workshops
If he's partial to a sip of something special a gin distilling class will be right up his alley. He’ll learn to blend and distil his own signature spirits to enjoy at home with friends. Cocktail classes are also a popular 40th birthday present for men. "We had a group of eight for my husbands 40th birthday. Our teachers were 10/10. Food was great. Venue was great. Cocktails were delicious. Literally can't fault the afternoon. Fantastic – highly recommend." Cherie Worthington, Cocktail Masterclass for Private Groups
Photography classes for the Insta-obsessed
If he's always snapping pics on his phone, a photography class is the ultimate 40th birthday gift for him. Whether he’s all about moody street shots or golden-hour landscapes, he’ll pick up real skills and come away with some seriously cool snaps. Choose from DSLR photography classes or smartphone classes, depending on his equipment and preferences.
Unique 40th birthday gifts for her Australia-wide
Want to wow her with something beyond a bottle of wine and a “world’s best woman” mug? Experience gifts are thoughtful, fun and a guaranteed way to create core memories. Here's our pick of the bunch for the lucky lady.
Get glowing with DIY skincare workshops
Instead of grabbing another serum from the beauty aisle, let her make her own. She’ll learn how to mix natural ingredients into face masks, scrubs and moisturisers that actually suit her skin — and smell divine, too.
Clay and sip nights
One of the most wholesome 40th birthday gifts for her, clay and sip classes are a fun way to connect with close friends. Sipping on her favourite beverage, the lucky birthday lady will learn to shape clay into vases, mugs or whatever her imagination dreams up. Not just for pros, clay and sip classes are fun, messy and super Instagrammable – a must-do activity to kickstart a new decade! "Sally helped us host a relaxing ladies afternoon for a very special friend's 40th birthday. It was a lovely way to come together and celebrate in the most beautiful surroundings and relaxing atmosphere." – Robyn Griffiths, Private Hand Building Class
Glass blowing = serious wow factor
If she’s got a creative streak and a love for the dramatic, glass blowing will blow her away. It’s fiery, fascinating and feels pretty hardcore. Plus, she’ll walk away with a handmade piece to display at home.
Baking and cake-decorating classes
If she’s more “Great British Bake Off” than green thumb, swap the usual bunch of birthday flowers for a flour-filled experience gift. Whether it’s cake decorating, croissant-making or a chocolate tempering workshop, our baking classes are the crème de la crème of 40th birthday gifts for women.
Pottery never goes out of style
Wheel throwing is a classic for a reason. There’s something grounding about getting your hands dirty and creating something beautiful with nothing but a lump of clay. Bowls, mugs, sculptures or vases — whatever she makes, she’ll be proud to show it off.
4 reasons experiences make great 40th birthday ideas
Wondering what makes a great 40th birthday gift? We've got you. By this age, most people have tonnes of stuff. And whatever they lack, they can buy for themselves. Their homes are furnished, closets are full, and honestly, materials objects can feel like clutter rather than gifts.
- Experiences give you stories to tell. Instead of gifting another item that gathers dust, you gifting them memories to share. These moments become more precious over time, especially when they're experienced with loved ones.
- Learning new skills is super satisfying. Whether it's mastering pasta-making or creating DIY ceramics, accomplishing something new feels amazing. This hits differently at milestone ages like 40, when you want to feel like you're still growing.
- Group experiences bring people closer together. When you book a class for friends or couples, everyone gets to try something new while celebrating together. The birthday person feels surrounded by love and everyone has a blast.
- Here's the cool part – experiences often turn into lasting hobbies. That pottery class might become a weekly thing. That one-off cocktail workshop will give you ample skills for your next dinner party. Unlike regular gifts, experiences have the power to transform someone's life over the longterm.
Whether you go with cooking classes, Turkish mosaic workshops or paint and sip sessions, experience gifts show you really care. You're not just checking a box – you're investing in their happiness and growth. And that's what makes any birthday truly special. Cheers!
