Reviews from our gift recipients
Tanya Keg • Jun 2021
I very much enjoyed the Beginner’s Kintsugi Workshop. It was a birthday gift from my daughter & a lovely way to spend the morning together. Miyoko was great teacher - very knowledgeable about the technique & history of Kintsugi & we chatted about travelling in Japan as well. Convenient location near Town Hall station. My daughter & I are very proud of our Kintsugi masterpieces - thank you!

Terrarium Workshop for Beginners
My friend got the terrarium class for me as a birthday gift and it was such a perfect gift! The teacher was very friendly and kind, the class was very engaging and fun, the wine was good, the class room was spacious and colourful, the people were nice!

Fluid Art Workshop: Two in One
Loved the class! Chelsey is warm and generous. Chelsey has created a beautiful and relaxed space for art making. Such a gift for her students to learn in this meditative atmosphere. Chelsey explains the steps and methods clearly, and has lots of knowledge and technical experience to share. Explored new fluid techniques and Chelsey made working with resin fun and easy. Loved the results!

A fabulous afternoon workshop with Hitomi learning the art of Kintsugi. I bought this as a gift for my sister and she loved it too. Hitomi is very knowledgeable, patient, and a great teacher. I love the plate I 'mended' and plan to do more. Thank you Hitomi from Penny-san and Anne-san

We loved every minute of Hitomi’s class; Hitomi is a beautiful person and wonderful teacher! Followed by a delicious lunch at a nearby Japanese restaurant, we had the perfect day immersed in the inspiring Japanese culture. Furthermore, our Kintsugi plate is a treasured memory of our wonderful day spent together, a fun, mindful hands-on experience, and an exquisite ongoing reminder of our personal growth! + more

The class was very informative and you learn how to make the two most ordered cocktails. You make the first cocktail, they feed you, and then you make the second one, and they feed you again! The food was good too (tacos, chips, grilled corn etc.). Definitely a good present for someone that loves their cocktails, or just want to learn the basics on how to make them.

At first I was a bit unsure about going but I’m so glad I did. Vanessa was a wonderful teacher and made everyone feel welcomed and relaxed. She demonstrated each skill and then spent considerable time assisting every student. I appreciate that she’s also quite environmentally conscious and she donated the profits of this workshop to helping wildlife affected by the bushfires. We first learnt about creating a lovely range of colours with our water colour palette. Then we learnt to create strokes which we later combined to form letters and words. All the materials were provided for and we got to take home our brushes, palettes, watercolours and worksheets so that we have everything to continue practising our new skills at home. The class is held in an airy, bright and air conditioned private room behind a cafe. Not familiar with the area I found it hard to park so perhaps leave extra time to park if you’re driving there. Thanks for the lovely class, gift and snacks Vanessa! Hope to attend another one of your classes in future. + more

This class was such an amazing gift! The teacher was engaging and really nice. The terrariums turned out great! Would definitely recommend.
The history of gift giving can be traced back thousands of years. From trade gifts, to religious offerings left in the hopes of good fortune from the gods, and handmade gifts lovingly crafted and presented as tokens of love and affection. Despite the changes in form over the years, at its core gift giving is a beautiful exchange between two loved ones. More realistically however, the modern tradition translates to a rushed affair of darting from shopping mall to shopping mall in a tiring attempt to source the perfect gift. And sometimes you might but the majority of the time those expensive cufflinks, that watch just don’t seem to express your inexorable love and appreciation for them all packed into one, may be asking too much of an inanimate object. Instead, gift him an experience. Gift him a Classbento workshop.
Whether you’re looking for creative, therapeutic or rejuvenating gift ideas in Sydney, on ClassBento you’ll find presents for men that challenge the stereotypical gift ideas for him. Give him the gift of a barista class and you might start waking up to a perfectly brewed cup of coffee each morning complete with a latte art. Help him to explore his artistic side with an experience gift in Sydney where he will learn skills like palette knife painting or glass blowing in Redfern. If you’re on the hunt for anniversary gifts for men and he loves cocktails, why not send him to a cocktail making class in Surry Hills where he can learn how to shake his own. You’ll discover hundreds of gift ideas for men (and women) on ClassBento!
All of the experiences are led by some of your best local artisans and can be customised dependent on what types of experiences for men you’re searching for. You can even book private classes if you’re on the hunt for experience gifts in Sydney for couples. And if you leave it to the last minute that’s okay! All you need to do is book an experience gift card on our website. You can pick a class that you think he might like or just select a dollar amount, and he can browse hundreds of creative Sydney workshops and choose his own. When he gets to the class all of the materials will be provided and he'll have an incredible time learning a new skill.
The best thing about experience gifts for him is that they really do keep on giving. They transcend the few seconds it takes to open the envelope, they last longer than the two hours he’ll spend getting creative in the workshop, and will be kept as a special memory that he can look back on and relive for the rest of his life.
