Looking for more options? Please message us or call us on 0488 839 505, and we'll quickly organise a class for your group
A birthday is the perfect opportunity to spoil your loved ones with unforgettable birthday gift experiences in Melbourne. There are plenty of fun experience gift ideas to get you inspired - photography classes, pottery classes, painting classes, cooking classes and more. And they’re all taught by experienced and passionate local artisans in the Melbourne area. These birthday present experiences are more special than a generic card. Your loved one is going to be truly surprised.
Nowadays, finding the right gift ideas for birthdays is a chore. Many of us simply don’t have the time to drive around town stopping at shopping centres and boutiques in search of the perfect gift. With birthday experiences, you can avoid the stress and give your friend or family member a gift you know they’ll love. Not only will your loved one have a fantastic time at their workshop, but they’ll also walk away with skills that they can use for the rest of their lives. You might even be giving your loved one their new favourite hobby.
It doesn’t matter if you’re in search of birthday experiences for him or birthday gifts for women, there’s a ClassBento workshop for everyone in your life. You might challenge stereotypes by signing up the special man in your life for a perfume making workshop in the Melbourne CBD (who says men don’t love having their own signature scent?) Or, if you’re looking for gift ideas for mum, you might try an Introduction to Upholstery Workshop in Footscray. There are Soap and Shampoo Making Classes in West Footscray, Clothing Embroidery Workshops in Windsor, Thai Cooking Classes in Richmond, and many more. There are so many different options for ClassBento experience gifts that you will soon become the person that gives the very best birthday presents.
The passionate instructors who lead these birthday experiences in Melbourne will treat your loved ones to a very special day. Classes are easily customised and you can book private classes for your busy gift recipient. If you’re throwing a birthday party for your loved one, you might even arrange for a mobile class so that an instructor can come to the venue of your choice and completely surprise them. Or, if you want to give your loved one more control over their birthday present experiences, you can give them a gift card with a dollar amount so that they can browse the many classes available to them. Either way, they’ll love the chance to learn something new for their birthday.
You’ll be amazed at how much your loved one appreciates getting a birthday gift experience in Melbourne this year. Instead of another material item for them to unwrap, you’re giving them the chance to try a new hobby that they might continue for the rest of their lives. Unlike a bottle of wine or a candle, memories from birthday experience last a lifetime.
