Ready to get inspired? From wine-soaked paint and sip classes to cocktail making masterclasses, read on for our 2026 guide to the best presents for your girlfriend.
Get her a paint and sip class with a twist
On the hunt for unique things to do in Melbourne? Paint and sip in the dark classes are a super cute gift for your girlfriend, giving her a chance to have fun while getting creative. Hosted by Paint For Fun, these sessions are about “much more than doing a perfect painting,” says owner and artist Rav Chai. “It's about self-expression and just how you see the world from your eyes. Also it gives the group a different perspective on their colleague, on their classmates, on their friends, because we can all look at one thing, but get completely different results.”
Paint and sip classes are one of the best gifts for her because they appeal to all ages and interests. Whether you’re celebrating her 30th birthday or getting her something for Christmas, these classes are guaranteed to delight.
Painting and drinking are always more fun with friends, so get a couple of gift cards so your girlfriend can invite her nearest and dearest along. Not only will she enjoy the creative process, but she’ll also come away with memories (and maybe a masterpiece!) that she can treasure long after the paint has dried.
Let her connect with her besties over clay
Looking for fun things to do in Melbourne that your girlfriend will love? Clay hand building classes make perfect gifts for ladies who aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty. There’s a huge range of unique pottery options, including this boobie mug workshop—a guaranteed hit with the girls!
Beyond learning the art of clay sculpting, pottery leaves plenty of time to catch up. This social aspect makes pottery classes one of the cutest gifts for your girlfriend. She’ll leave feeling zen, proud of her creation and thoroughly caught up on the tea.

Kickstart her girl's night out with cocktail making
Is a girl’s night complete without cocktails? Didn’t think so. If your girlfriend and her crew are all about espresso martinis or margaritas, cocktail making classes are a great gift idea. For those based in Sydney, cocktail classes are a unique way to get behind the scenes at some of the city’s coolest local bars.
This cocktail making class with pizza and tapas in Surry Hills is ideal for a birthday celebration or just a night out with friends. Delicious nibbles, creative spins on classic cocktails and a convenient location make for a fun and memorable experience. Just ask our community:
"I was gifted a cocktail making class with lunch. Aswar was our ever so friendly and enthusiastic teacher. The venue was inviting, cosy and exciting at the same time. Materials and ingredients were superb and top notch. During my cocktail class I learnt that a little extra ingredient preparation makes for an extra layer of taste and palette explosion. I absolutely recommend this class for the overall friendliness of the staff, exceptional ambience and value for money. The quality of the overall experience is what I liked the most."
Flower classes for unwinding with her gal pals
Want something you’ve never thought of giving your girlfriend? Floristry classes are a fun way for her to make something pretty and enjoy time with her friends. In Brisbane, this DIY flower crown making workshop is a standout, where your girl and her crew will make their very own beautiful flower crowns. The aesthetic photos alone make this experience worth it.
Over in Perth, this Spring dried flower arrangement workshop is a perfect treat. Your girlfriend and her friends can create bespoke floral arrangements while enjoying a relaxed, social atmosphere, nibbles and soft drinks. No previous experience is needed, making these workshops ideal for anyone looking to try something new.
Floristry classes are one of the cutest gifts for your girlfriend—they’re a little different, super pretty, and she’ll leave with gorgeous arrangements to display at home as well as memories she’ll treasure long after the workshop ends.
Light up their night with candle making
Want a gift that’s both creative and calming? Candle making classes are a perfect choice. Your girlfriend can learn how to blend scents, pour wax and craft custom candles that she can take home and enjoy.
These classes are ideal for groups, making them one of the cutest gifts for your girlfriend that she can share. They’re relaxing, sensory and pretty easy to master—plus, nothing beats the feeling of lighting a candle she made herself. Whether she’s celebrating a special occasion or just enjoying some downtime, candle making is a thoughtful and memorable gift for her.
Add some sparkle with earring making
If your girlfriend loves jewellery, earring making classes are a fun and creative way for her to express herself. She can design and craft unique earrings, experiment with different materials and leave with pieces that reflect her personal style.
This polymer clay workshop in Sydney is social, hands-on and perfect for sharing laughs with friends. It’s an especially cute gift for your girlfriend because polymer clay lets her use loads of colour and make quirky shapes for one-of-a-kind statement earrings.
From Taylor and Selena to Oprah and Gayle, female friendships are one of the most precious parts of life. Encouraging your girlfriend to nurture these connections is one of the sweetest gifts you can give. These experience gift ideas for her fit the bill perfectly, combining hands-on activities with plenty of opportunities to bond with her friends.
For the ultimate treat, consider booking a private class. With enough attendees, your girlfriend and her inner circle can enjoy the undivided attention of a mixologist, experienced artist, or florist. From flower crown making to cocktail shaking, you can find thousands of creative experiences across Australia, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth. These are the kinds of cute gifts for your girlfriend she’ll truly treasure—and her friends will thank you too!
