Why experience vouchers make the best gift ideas
Coming up with gift ideas for dad isn’t always the easiest, but our ever-expanding variety of Melbourne workshops can help make your search for the perfect birthday present or Christmas gift stress-free. Our experience gifts are perfectly tailored for beginners, making them fantastic presents for dad if you’re looking for things to do in Melbourne that get him a little out of his comfort zone. All of our workshop instructors pride themselves on creating class environments that are relaxing and inclusive, so your father has more time to focus on enjoying himself and getting the most out of his time with us. No matter the workshop, our gift ideas for dad will have him learning a new craft in a fun and engaging space under the watchful eye of our experienced artisans. Our easy-to-use booking system also allows you to book according to schedule and budget. Our workshop practitioners offer both private and public workshops to help you find gift experiences for dad that suit your lifestyle and price tag. Chasing a paint and sip night for dad and mum to enjoy together? Sign them up to one of our public classes and have dad enjoying a few beers with likeminded people! Want to offer dad something more personal? Our private cooking classes can give him exclusive treatment, and some can even travel to you! Many of our teachers also offer exclusive offers and tailored packages, so never hesitate to let them know what you’re celebrating, so your presents for dad can be as memorable as possible. With so many things to do in Melbourne, our experience gifts can help you find the most unique presents for dad, regardless of the occasion.
Father’s Day gifts
Dad’s special day deserves special attention, and thankfully our Melbourne workshops can help you celebrate Father’s Day in a variety of ways! Chasing an outdoor experience for dad to enjoy on his own? BBQ School offers a range of sizzling workshops and classes that’ll take your dad’s BBQ game to the next level! With classes specialising in seafood cooking, Brazilian churrasco and even a beer and barbecue pairing class, this is one of the best Father’s Day gift ideas for a dad who considers himself a real barbecue master. With each class lasting three hours and ending with a spread of everything that’s been made (and everything you need supplied for you), this doesn’t just make for one of the best gifts for dad in Melbourne, but can also double as a unique father/son activity you can enjoy together, regardless of what you’re celebrating.
Birthday gifts for dad
When his birthday comes around, finding presents for dad in Melbourne can be a stressful time! Dads can be notoriously difficult to shop for, and if you want to avoid the tropes of a new tie or novelty t-shirt, we have gift ideas for dad that’ll exceed expectations and help make your search for birthday present ideas easy as pie. If you’re looking to have a bit of fun with your presents for dad on his birthday, our live stream classes can be enjoyed from home and with the whole family. Is Dad getting a bit leathery? Our DIY skincare and beauty LiveBox classes will get him pampering and preening alongside the family, making this one of the best gift ideas for dad that is fun for the whole family. With a craft box delivered directly to your door and the instructor on the live stream, dad the family can enjoy the experience of brewing up your own homemade facemasks, soaps and exfoliants together for his birthday.
Christmas gifts for dad
Buying Christmas presents for dad in Melbourne while also juggling gift ideas for everyone else in the family can seem like a mountainous task. Our gift experiences for dad can make your Christmas shopping a whole lot easier. Whether it’s one of our pottery classes that can show your father how to craft ceramics, our leather work classes that’ll have him building his own bespoke glasses case, our experience gifts will help make your Christmas shopping smoother while offering up presents for dad that are unique and thoughtful. And, if you can’t decide what to get him, our gift cards are perfect for giving your father the freedom to choose his own Christmas adventure! With so many things to do in Melbourne, our locally-run workshops offer presents for dad that won’t just make him happy, they’ll have him making memories.
