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,We absolutely LOVED Caitlin’s “Jewellery Making Workshop: Textured Copper Earrings“ & are curious to see what else we could learn how to make! 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

Thoughtful anniversary gifts Melbourne couples will love
When it comes to celebrating your love story, nothing beats quality time. And that’s exactly what experience gifts offer—a chance to connect, laugh and make memories side by side. Whether you're celebrating one year or twenty, you'll find Melbourne experiences that fit your energy and interests. Try a couples pottery class where you can sculpt side by side and create handmade keepsakes. Or head to a local tea blending workshop and craft a signature brew that tells your story.
Ryan S. and his partner loved doing just that:
"The tea we tasted together was delicious and Amy was incredible helping us to blend our own perfect teas to celebrate our anniversary. Everyone who likes tea should give Amy's workshop a try!"
The best part? You don’t have to be a creative expert to join these wedding anniversary gifts.

Why experience gifts are perfect for wedding anniversaries
Experiences aren’t just fun—they’re meaningful. Instead of collecting more stuff, you’re collecting memories. You get to try something new together, support local artists and makers, and walk away with shared memories that last long after the day ends.
Experience gifts are also easy to personalise because you can choose something that reflects your relationship or shared interests and goals. Learning how to cook Japanese ramen? Perfect gift for foodie couples. Designing your own signature scent in a perfume workshop? Great for partners who love a bit of luxury and an ideal Melbourne anniversary gift idea for her.
Brittany W. shared her experience after a tufting workshop (this is one of our top fun anniversary gift experiences in Melbourne!):
"Took my partner along for our anniversary and had the best time! The teachers had clear and concise instructions and provided tips and advice as the class progressed to help us get the best result. Super fun class and easy to learn."
And if you're after something romantic and relaxed, workshops like wine and watercolour or paint and sip classes offer the perfect balance of creativity and conversation.
Traditional anniversary gift ideas for every milestone
Sticking to a traditional anniversary theme? No problem! There’s a playful twist for every year. Here are just a few of our favourite ways to honour the classics without falling into a gift-giving rut:
- 1st anniversary (paper): Try a Japanese calligraphy or watercolour painting class
- 5th anniversary (wood): Take a woodturning or wooden spoon carving workshop
- 10th anniversary (tin/aluminium): Learn to make jewellery or give metal stamping a go
- 13th anniversary (lace): Try a textiles or embroidery class
- 15th anniversary (crystal): Pour your own resin crystal coasters or create a crystal-infused candle
Who says tradition can’t be a little cheeky? These hands-on ideas let you ditch the store-bought options and make something together that’s full of meaning—and a whole lot more fun.
Romantic and fun things to do in Melbourne for couples
Melbourne is filled with hidden gems and cosy spots perfect for date ideas. Turn your anniversary into a mini adventure with a creative experience that feels more like play than a formal activity.
Try a cocktail making class in the CBD where you'll shake and stir your way to signature drinks. Or head to a floristry workshop in Malvern East and create stunning arrangements that say more than words ever could. You could even head out to the Dandenongs for a garden-to-table cooking class surrounded by nature.
Want to keep it close to home? Book a candle making workshop in Carlton or a pasta making class in Brunswick. These aren’t just things to do—they’re memory-makers.
And if your anniversary falls midweek or you’re short on time, many classes offer evening sessions or weekend workshops that make it easy to fit in a moment just for the two of you.
Personalised anniversary gifts for him and her
Forget the guesswork and skip the socks in 2026. Experience gifts make it easy to match your partner’s vibe and surprise them with something they’ll actually love.
- For him: leathercraft, BBQ smoking classes, barista training
- For her: natural skincare, perfume making, ikebana flower arranging workshops
- For both: couples pottery, photography tours, wine tasting experiences
You can even add a custom touch by selecting a class where you walk away with a personalised item, like matching mugs, a bottle of homemade gin or a blended tea with your names on the label.
And if you're not sure what they'll love most? A ClassBento gift card gives them the freedom to choose, with flexible dates and a wide variety of workshops across Melbourne.
Give a unique anniversary gift that creates memories
Whether you’re learning something new, making something beautiful, or simply laughing together over a shared mess of clay or cookie dough, these are the memories that will stick with you.
Melbourne offers a world of hands-on anniversary gift ideas—from painting to pasta making, tufting to tea blending—all led by talented, passionate local teachers. Make your next anniversary feel less like a box to tick and more like a celebration of who you are, together.

So go ahead, get your hands dirty, sip something delicious and try something unexpected. Your next favourite memory is waiting—book your Melbourne anniversary experience today.
