Allison Passmore • Attended Aug 2026
Brought the class as a gift for my best friend. We had a fantastic time and leant so much about candle making. We had very different ideas on what we wanted to make and we both love our creation.

Caitlin’s instructional style is clear, casual, & cheerful. We had a blast getting to know her & have her share her creativity with us. We were glad to discover the different techniques, have a play & practice on our aluminium sheet, design our earrings & make them a copper reality. We even wore one of the pairs out to dinner later that evening! The smaller class size was perfect for this workshop - just remember to pace yourself so you have decent time to work on your actual earrings (we got carried away playing with all the tools, stamps, & techniques. So we rushed a little at the end to finish our pieces). The venue is a shared art space, where you’ll enter the gallery/framer at the front & will need to walk towards the studio spaces at the back. This workshop was a surprise for our friend & was the perfect gift for all of us to get hands-on, get creative, & make something we could keep & enjoy (or share as a hand-made gift)! + more

Top 40th birthday gifts in Brisbane for 2026
Turning 40 is a milestone that calls for a celebration and in Brisbane 2026, you can find countless options for unforgettable 40th birthday gifts. Forget the cliche dinner outing, instead choose a unique gift experience, where the emphasis is on creating memories through interactive workshops and classes.
For the crafty friend or loved one, consider booking a wheel throwing class where they can spin and shape their own ceramic masterpiece to take home. Photography enthusiasts would cherish an outdoor photography workshop tailored to capturing Brisbane’s beautiful landscapes or vibrant city scenes, helping them discover new photography skills. And if your birthday person is more about accessories, gift them a ring making class, where they can spend the day or evening designing their own one-of-a-kind rings. It’s both rejuvenating and grounding—a truly thoughtful gift that shows you care about their well-being.
In essence, when picking out that perfect 40th birthday gift in Brisbane for 2026, think beyond tangible items; opt for experiences that help them make sweet memories with loved ones and newfound skills.

If you're searching for meaningful gift ideas for her, discover our selection of workshops and classes that make perfect presents for someone ready to embrace this fantastic new chapter.
Gift your loved one a candle making workshop, ideal for someone who loves scents and home decor. Guided by an experienced candle maker, she’ll learn how to make her own custom candle and enjoy it at home (best accompanied with a book and tea!). If she loves art, consider taking her to a paint and sip workshop where she can express her creativity while relaxing with a glass of wine in a casual setting. And for the gardening enthusiast, a terrarium class might be just the thing to inspire and delight. By the end of the class, she’ll be able to take home a new green plant to add to her collection at home.
The beauty of these experiences lies not just in the skills gained but in the memories created and quality time spent with loved ones. So choose a gift that allows her to find new passions and celebrates who she is at forty—vibrant, adventurous, and ready for whatever comes next!

Unique 40th birthday gifts for him
Do you have a friend, colleague or partner turning 40 and you’re not sure what to get? We can help you find the perfect gift for him with our present ideas! For the man who loves to unwind with a fine drink, gift him a whiskey tasting experience in Brisbane. He’ll get to learn about different types of whiskeys and explore what makes each one unique. It's both educational and luxurious—an ideal evening for any connoisseur or enthusiast looking to sharpen their palate. Alternatively, if he’s more of a hands-on type, consider a metalwork class where he can make his own knife or discover the art of welding. It's incredibly satisfying and therapeutic; plus, he'll have handmade mementos to keep from his landmark birthday. If his passion is all about food, then a cooking class is a must-visit for 40th birthday present ideas! Choose from a variety of cuisines, from Japanese to Italian to French and let him learn new recipes and he’ll get to taste the results of his labour at the end. It’s never too late to find a new hobby or passion at 40!
Why Brisbane experiences make great 40th birthday ideas
More and more people are turning to experiences for birthday gifts and it’s easy to see why. Our Brisbane experiences offer unique opportunities to create memories that last a lifetime.
