1. Help her shine in a candle making class

Type ‘candles’ into Pinterest and you’ll find enough photos to set your imagination alight! We’ve come a long way from using candles as a simple light source. Today, candles are a beautiful way to upgrade your me-time—and everything from their scent to their packaging can help lift the mood. This year, go one better than a scented candle and gift your mum a candle making class.

At one of our candle making classes, your mum will learn how to make her own Pinterest-worthy candles. Our friendly workshops are led by local makers who use all-natural ingredients, ensuring your mum’s self-care is just as gentle on the planet as it is on her mental health. From realistic illusion candles to candles decorated with her favourite dried flowers, these courses are some of the best gifts for Mum this Mother's Day.

2. Sweeten the deal with a cake decorating class

What would Mother's Day be without cake? Whether your mum’s a chocoholic or likes to keep things traditional with a boozy fruit cake, she’ll learn how to sprinkle, ice, and pipe to perfection at our fun cake decorating classes! The best part? She gets to take her creation home at the end! What's a better gift for Mum than letting her have her cake and eat it too?

As well as our year-round classes, we also offer a variety of Mother's Day workshops, perfect for Mums who want to create a sweet showstopper. Our friendly instructors can teach your mum how to decorate a chocolate drip cake or even make one that looks like a present box! It’s the perfect way to treat your mum and help her learn new skills at the same time. 

3. Bring the outside in at a DIY wreath workshop

Wreaths were traditionally used to symbolise the promise of Spring during cold, long winters – but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy them in the sunny Southern hemisphere too! DIY flower wreaths are a wonderful way to bring some greenery into your home, so if you’re looking for Mother's Day present ideas for mum, what could be better than a wreath making class?   

Led by some of the best florists in the country, our courses cover everything from dried flower wreaths to wreaths made with seasonal flowers. Not only will your mum leave her class with a gorgeous decoration for her home, but she’ll also have gained skills that will last a lifetime, helping her create breathtaking floral arrangements all year round. As a bonus Christmas gift idea for Mum, our Christmas wreath workshops add a festive flair to any gift-giving occasion.

4. Feel like a queen at a flower crown class

Whether you’re looking for fun things to do in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane or the Gold Coast, our beginner-friendly classes are the perfect place to get creative and connect with likeminded people. Plus they can be hosted inside or outside and add a luxurious touch to any celebration. So why not add some bubbles and join Mum on her gift experience?

5. Flex your green fingers at a terrarium making class

There’s no shortage of houseplants on Pinterest, so if you’re looking for Mother's Day present ideas for mum that will help her create her dream home, why not treat her to a terrarium class? Sometimes known as glass gardens, terrariums are little ecosystems that enable plants such as succulents to grow. These low-maintenance arrangements are a beautiful addition to any home—and they’re so easy to look after that anyone can enjoy them, beginners and green-fingered experts alike! There's no greater gift for the Mum who loves plants but hates to see them die!

Our terrarium making classes are a calming oasis amidst the hustle and bustle of the festive season. From choosing her plants to scattering her stones, your mum will have the chance to slow down and focus on the task at hand. There are no stressful ‘to-do’ lists here – just soothing succulents, calming cacti, and the joy of designing your perfect arrangement. 

6. Wrap things up at a Kokedama class

Wrapping doesn’t have to be reserved for Mother's Day presents! At our beginner-friendly Kokedama classes, your mum will have the chance to wrap, wind, and twist her own DIY Kokedama – a traditional Japanese moss ball that’s used to grow ornamental plants. 

A Kokedama is sometimes described as a plant sculpture. To make one, you encase the roots of a plant in a ball of moss and soil. This creates a self-contained support for your plant, no pot or planter required. You can hang your Kokedama from the ceiling to show it off or display it in a dish, perfect for mums who want a Pinterest-inspired centrepiece for their table. 

Simple, stunning, and sustainable, these beautiful arrangements are bound (literally) to make an impact in any home. But they’re not just beautiful to look at. Kokedama is a centuries-old craft that can help you focus, destress, and relax. If you’re looking for Mother's Day gifts for mum that will help boost her wellbeing as the year draws to a close, look no further. The art of Kokedama is the gift that keeps on giving.  

7. Capture Pinterest-perfect photos at a photography class

Sure your mum can craft stunning creations to match those she's seen on Pinterest but how will she show off her aesthetic masterpieces without the correct photography skills? Well, we've got just the thing with photography classes!

Encourage your mum's hobbies and interests and watch her flourish as she stokes her passion. This picturesque gift for Mum doesn't just help her maintain her Pinterest lifestyle, it actively celebrates it. So this Mother's Day, invest in experiences that align with her interests and give more than just a present to your mum—gift her the chance to explore and cultivate her talents.
