While we offer a plethora of online art classes, we're highlighting some of our most popular virtual art classes to give you Christmas present ideas before making a decision.
DIY cooking classes for optimal health
Let's face it—we often neglect spending time in the kitchen. If your loved one is a fan of dining out but rarely explores their own culinary skills, our virtual cooking classes make for an ideal Christmas gift. Beyond mastering restaurant-worthy meals at home, these classes instil confidence, potentially saving money on dining out. Cooking from scratch promotes healthier food choices, leading to increased happiness, energy and better concentration. That one cooking class you gift could be a game-changer for your loved one's well-being.
Why not join the cooking class with your giftee? It's an opportunity to bond, create memories, and savour delicious meals together.
Gift an online cocktail class
Amidst the holiday chaos, give your loved ones something to look forward to—a live-streaming cocktail making class! Perfect for couples and anyone interested in crafting easy cocktails at home, our online Christmas cocktail making classes are a unique gift idea. Imagine the savings and the fun of hosting cocktail parties at home after mastering the art. Not only a memorable experience, but it's also a chance to bond over creating the best cocktails for friends and family.
Consider booking a private class for a distinctive Christmas party idea or even an online work Christmas party.
Transform their home with a virtual hand building pottery class
