Why experience vouchers make the best gift ideas
Coming up with gift ideas for men isn’t always the easiest, but our ever-expanding variety of Melbourne activities can help make your search for the perfect Father's Day presents or birthday and Christmas gifts for him stress-free. Our experience presents are perfectly tailored for beginners, making them fantastic gift ideas for him if you’re looking for things to do in Melbourne that get your old man a little out of his comfort zone. All of our DIY 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 which craft class or foodie experience, our experience gifts for dad in Melbourne 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 that suit his lifestyle and your price tag. Chasing a paint and sip night for your parents to enjoy together? Sign them up to one of our public classes and have dad enjoying a few beers with like-minded 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 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.
Inspire him to explore his creative side with these Father’s Day gifts
On the hunt for Father's Day activities in Melbourne? Dad’s special day deserves special attention, and thankfully our Melbourne workshops can help you celebrate in a variety of ways! Want some extra-thoughtful experience gift ideas? BBQ School offers a range of sizzling workshops and classes that’ll take your dad’s BBQ game to the next level – the ultimate dad-friendly present if we do say so ourselves! With classes specialising in seafood cooking, Brazilian churrasco and even a beer and barbecue pairing class, this is one of the best experience gifts for dads who considers themselves 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 in Melbourne, but can also double as a unique father/son activity you can enjoy together, regardless of what you’re celebrating. Time to have the best Father's Day Melbourne has ever seen!
Melbourne birthday gifts for dad that’ll make him smile
Is his birthday around the corner? Don't worry, we've made finding presents for him in Melbourne a lot easier! We know dads can be notoriously difficult to shop for, which is why we're so proud of our selection of birthday present ideas for men, that'll make shopping for him a whole lot easier – if you want to avoid the tropes of a new tie or novelty t-shirt, that is! We have birthday ideas and Father's Day gift ideas that’ll exceed expectations and help make your search for gifts for him easy as pie. If you’re looking to have a bit of fun with your dad on his birthday, our live stream classes can be enjoyed from home and with the whole family. Is Dad foregoing his self-care? 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.
Make new memories with our Christmas gifts for dad
Buying Christmas presents for your old man 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 festive shopping smoother while offering up personalised Christmas gifts that are unique and thoughtful. And, if you can’t decide what to get him, our gift cards and experience vouchers are perfect for giving your father the freedom to choose his own yuletide adventure! With so many Melbourne activities on offer, our locally-run workshops offer unique gifts that won’t just make him happy, they’ll have him making memories.
