Roy was an amazing and knowledgeable teacher with such a passion for the process. We feasted on our spoils and other nibbles. A great day and would highly recommend it for anyone with a desire to make sourdough Sue + more

I’m not particularly artistic and don’t even wear rings, so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I ended up having such a great time and discovering a creative side I didn’t know I had. I made a ring for my partner, which turned out to be a really special and personalised gift. The fact that it was a complete surprise made it even more meaningful! Alfie and Delfi are the best! They’re super supportive, patient and great at teaching you every step of the process, making it easy and enjoyable regardless of your experience. The workshop has a fantastic vibe, whether you go with friends, as a couple or on your own. You can get creative, enjoy a glass of wine and share the experience with others. If you’re hesitant because you don’t consider yourself artistic or don’t usually wear jewellery, I’d definitely recommend giving it a go. It’s also a great idea for a unique gift for your partner or a friend. Couldn’t recommend Haina enough! ️ + more

Anniversary Gift Ideas Canberra
Thoughtful anniversary gifts Canberra couples will love
When you think of thoughtful anniversary gifts, what comes to mind? Well, it’s something that your partner will appreciate and love (and maybe even involve a little story or inside joke or two!). This is where our experience gifts come in! Imagine surprising your partner with a romantic pottery class where you both get your hands dirty and shape something beautiful together. Or if you’re a foodie couple, there’s everything from Japanese cooking classes to artisan chocolate making workshops. If wellness is more your style, gift your lover a calming candle making workshop or a mindful aromatherapy class to reconnect and relax.
Whatever you choose, giving the gift of a creative experience shows how much thought and care went into planning your celebration. It’s something you can both look forward to, something that breaks the routine and something that brings you even closer. Whether you’re newly married or long-time partners, discover our selection of wedding anniversary gifts to celebrate this incredible milestone together.
Why experience gifts are perfect for wedding anniversaries
Experience gifts are perfect for wedding anniversaries because they focus on what truly matters—spending quality time together and making lasting memories. While traditional presents like flowers or jewellery are lovely, nothing compares to the joy of sharing a meaningful moment with your partner. Whether it’s your first year of marriage together or celebrating your twentieth anniversary, an experience gift offers something special: the chance to reconnect, try something new and explore your creativity.
Instead of adding another item to the shelf, why not create a memory you’ll both treasure? Spend a day at a cooking class where you learn to roll sushi or make handmade pasta—it’s a chance to laugh, bond and enjoy each other’s company. Or head to a pottery or resin art workshop and craft something tangible to take home, made together with love. For couples who prefer something different, a tufting class could be the perfect activity to allow you both to slow down for a few hours and get immersed in the world of yarn! These shared experiences often become favourite memories, reminding you of how much fun it is to grow and explore a new skill together.
Traditional anniversary gift ideas for every milestone
Traditional anniversary gifts are a lovely way to honour each milestone in your relationship and with a creative twist, they can be more meaningful than ever. Each year has its own symbolic material—like paper for the first anniversary or wood for the fifth—and you can use these themes to inspire thoughtful experience gifts in Canberra.
- For your first year (paper) of marriage, come and try a calligraphy or handmade card making workshop (or if you want, book both classes!). This way, you can learn new skills and get inspired to write more handmade letters and cards for your spouse.
- If you’re celebrating your fifth year (wood) anniversary, a woodworking or resin art class is a perfect fit—get hands-on and craft something lasting like a decorative resin cheeseboard or a rustic keepsake box.
- The tenth anniversary, traditionally marked by tin or aluminium, opens the door for something like a cocktail making class, complete with shiny barware, or even a fun metal stamping workshop where you can make personalised jewellery or tags.
- Looking for 25th (silver) or 50th (gold) anniversary gifts? Take your partner to a ring making workshop in Canberra, where you can choose to make a silver or gold ring to cherish forever.
Romantic and fun things to do in Canberra for couples
Canberra may be known for its culture and nature but it’s also full of romantic and fun things for couples to do, especially if you’re looking for something a little different. For a date night that’s creative and intimate, try a clay and sip class where you can unwind over a glass of wine and get messy with clay. Or prefer something hands-on (and delicious)? A cake decorating workshop is perfect for couples who love their sweet desserts and want to learn how to make and decorate their own cakes or cupcakes.
Whether you're celebrating a special anniversary or simply want to shake up your weekend plans, Canberra's range of creative workshops lets you do something romantic and memorable without leaving the city. So instead of the usual dinner-and-a-movie, treat yourselves to a date that’s full of charm, creativity and meaningful connection.
Personalised anniversary gifts for him and her
Personalised anniversary gifts are a heartfelt way to show how much you care and we have plenty of creative options in Canberra to suit him or her. For him, consider a leather work class where he can make a custom wallet or keyring with his initials. If you’re looking for gifts for her, head to a jewellery making or floral arranging class and let her create something beautiful and uniquely hers. Want to slow things down? A perfume blending session offers a calming and sensory date, ideal for creating personalised mementos. No matter what class you choose, you’ll get to take home something that is truly one-of-a-kind and personal to you.
Give a unique anniversary gift that creates memories
A unique anniversary gift is one that leaves you with lasting memories and nothing does that better than a shared experience. Instead of a material present, surprise your partner with a hands-on creative workshop that you can enjoy together. Whether it’s crocheting a mug rug, learning to paint or enjoying a wine tasting tour, our anniversary experience gifts in Canberra make the day special by helping you both spend intentional time with each other. Giving an experience shows thoughtfulness, creativity and love—all the ingredients for a truly special anniversary gift that you’ll both remember for years to come.
