Cook up a storm with vegan classes
If the vegan in your life is into cooking, why not treat them to an afternoon of foodie fun? Vegan cooking classes are great for building confidence in the kitchen and bonding over food.
These hands-on workshops teach practical skills, fun recipes and how to make plant-based meals exciting and delicious.
Try vegan dumpling making to fold, steam and devour tasty morsels at this cool inner city venue in Sydney. Or, for Melbourne-based vegans, this Italian cooking class offers a plant-based option to make traditional gnocchi and sauces without animal products—Sue B. loved it:
“My friend and I both loved the masterclass. It was a great length, super helpful, and fun, and the lunch at the end was delicious. I also thought it was great how at the end they send you home with all the ingredients and sauce to make it again! I would definitely recommend it as a fun activity to do with a friend, as a date, or even to give as a gift for someone who loves to cook!”
Cooking classes are perfect for beginners and seasoned cooks alike. They can also be privately booked for couples, making them a unique anniversary gift. Most vouchers are redeemable anytime, giving your giftee flexibility to choose the best date.
Relax with organic skincare making
Are you looking for vegan gift ideas for beauty gurus? Spoil them with a skincare making experience! They’ll learn to make DIY beauty products with natural ingredients like butters, balms and essential oils. As an extra treat, you could join them for a little bonding session and craft your own lip balm or hand cream together! Pro tip: these make for great stocking stuffers at Christmas!
These hands-on classes will help with which ingredients suit different skin types, how to skip harsh chemicals and how to create a simple, sustainable skincare routine. You can choose from a variety of different experiences like homemade natural soap making courses or workshops where you'll make DIY coffee scrubs—whatever suits your friend’s vibe!
A digital voucher for a natural skincare class is the perfect gift for vegan friends who want to be more health-conscious or start taking care of themselves.
Support your local makers and creative community with these unique gift experiences this Christmas.
Switch off with a mindful tea experience
Tea is a favourite among many plant-based folks, so a mindful tea workshop makes for a calming, thoughtful gift. Guests can create their own tea blends or enjoy guided tasting sessions, offering a peaceful break from the holiday bustle.
The slow process of brewing tea forces us to slow down, tap into our senses and simply enjoy the present moment. Whether it be a tea blending class where you make your own DIY blends or a tasting class where you can simply watch and sip, these tea workshops are a gentle way to celebrate the festive season while sipping sustainable, ethical brews.
Soy candle making for fragrance lovers
If you’re looking for a sweet and heart-warming gift for your vegan friend this Christmas, our soy candle making workshops are perfect! Did you know soy wax candles are less toxic than paraffin wax candles? And that scientific studies have proven that inhaling scented candles can promote a sense of calm? You can learn all this and more at a candle making class together!
In these workshops, you’ll both have a blast creating planet-friendly fragrance blends with essential oils like lavender, rose and patchouli. You’ll take home your very own handmade candles plus the confidence to make more at home. It’s rewarding and fun turning something simple into something beautiful, and it'll make you think twice about buying mass-produced, store-bought candles that contain hidden nasties, too!
Whether solo or with friends, candle-making classes are joyful, mindful experiences that pair creativity with self-care. These vegan-friendly workshops are a wonderful way to give the gift of relaxation and creativity this Christmas.
Learn to decorate vegan cakes
Sometimes being vegan means skipping on dessert, but with baking classes catered to vegans, they can have their cake and eat it too! Your plant-based giftee can learn how to transform a cake into a masterpiece, crafting flowers, patterns, shapes and more, all with edible icing.
The perfect vegan Christmas present for an aspiring baker or a vegan with a sweet tooth, these classes are a guaranteed treat. The best part? When you give a gift card for a vegan baking class, you just may get to share in the spoils.
From vegan cake decorating in Perth to making unique Japanese desserts in Sydney, you and your friend will learn that you don't need eggs and milk to make a good dessert. Plus, you just might find the vegan versions are a little lighter and healthier, too.
Ravyn A. tried the Japanese dessert class making Ggot Tteok on her own and wants to come back with some friends:
“Such a wonderful experience!! The process was very relaxing and calm, the instructor was so friendly and the finished dessert was GORGEOUS! Genuinely blown away by the result it's so beautiful!! I spend a lot of time at home so I wanted to get outside and out of my comfort zone and this was the perfect way to do that!! I was worried that it would only be suited for going with friends but I went alone and had a great time! Everyone was so nice and friendly! Definitely reccomend and I plan on bringing my friends in the future.”
Repair ceramics and embrace flaws with kintsugi
Whilst not specifically for vegans, a kintsugi class is nonetheless a lovely gift for vegans! A kintsugi class teaches us the eco-friendly art of fixing broken ceramics and the Japanese philosophy of embracing flaws and imperfections, which anyone can get around, vegan or not!
Not only is a kintsugi class a great experience gift for the eco-conscious vegan in your life, but it’s also a fun experience to enjoy together as you grapple with your own flaws and the concept of self-love.
With kintsugi classes offered all around Australia and even virtually, it’s never been easier to find the class you like, buy a Christmas gift voucher and send it off to your vegan mate.
