What is a flower arranging class?

When it comes to truly spoiling (and surprising) your mum with the perfect Christmas presents, consider treating her to an experience gift, like a fun and fresh flower arranging class! Meditative, relaxing and perfect for beginners, a flower arranging class will take her mind off her day-to-day commitments and help to promote feelings of calm, contentedness and clarity. Plus, our flower arranging gift experiences are the perfect way for your mum to express her unique style and creativity! 

If she needs some 'me' time, you can let her go alone for a more meditative experience. Alternatively, tag along for some memorable family moments and soak up some quality time with the most important woman in your life.

What's the best flower arranging class?

Truly treating your favourite lady to the perfect gifts for Mum is all about finding a gift that communicates your gratitude, love and affection, so be sure to consider what the best flower arranging gift would be for her individual taste: Oriental, Western or modern. Oriental flower arranging places emphasis on lines and shape, while Western floral arrangements tend to prioritise colour-matching and balance.

Not sure what your mum would love more? Modern flower arranging classes have infinite possibilities, so she can create colourful and beautiful arrangements that make her smile! There are no rules in these classes, so get your mum’s creativity running wild with one of these hands-on workshops!

What are the benefits of arranging flowers?

It turns out that not only looking at flowers increases our mood, but arranging them for ourselves can also lift our spirits! Flower arranging has been proven to reduce stress, foster creativity and promote connectedness, so not only will you be gifting Mum a hands-on session where she can learn a new skill, but also encouraging her to take some much-needed time out.

Christmas and the holiday period is a great time of year to switch off for a few hours and simply unwind while playing with flowers! Whether you're searching for the perfect Christmas presents, Mother’s Day gift ideas or you simply want to show her you love and appreciate her, spoiling your mum with a flower arranging gift experience is one of the best gifts she could receive.

Why flower arranging gifts for Mum are perfect for Christmas

Speaking of the festive season, there are so many reasons why you should gift flower arranging this year! Consider stepping away from the conventional presents and opt for a gift that embodies the spirit of the season: a flower arranging class.

Christmas is a time of celebration and decoration, and what better way to embrace the festive spirit than by gifting your mum the ability to create her own beautiful floral arrangements? Flower arranging classes provide her with the skills to design stunning centrepieces, wreaths, and bouquets that can adorn the holiday table or serve as heartfelt gifts for friends and family.

The holidays can bring about a whirlwind of activity and stress. A flower arranging class provides a therapeutic escape, allowing your mum to unwind and channel her creativity. The act of arranging flowers has been shown to reduce stress, promoting a sense of calm and mindfulness—a valuable gift, especially during the bustling holiday season.

Beyond the immediate joy of the class itself, the skills acquired in a flower arranging class are gifts that keep on giving. Your mum will carry the knowledge and creativity with her, able to craft beautiful arrangements for future celebrations and special occasions. It's a present that extends well beyond Christmas Day.

If you're not sure what Mum will like, consider spoiling her with one of our generous experience gift cards and let her choose the class she'll enjoy the most. Here's to a happy Mum!
