Gift a crafty couple mosaic classes
Know a craft-loving couple who are always on the lookout for fun things to do in Melbourne? We present to you casual mosaic classes from Merryl’s Mosaics and Glass Studio. Making DIY mosaics is a creative practice that allows crafters to step back from the hustle of daily life and take a mindful moment for themselves. At these mosaic classes, it’s no different – couples will be able to select from over 100 templates of mosaic art to complete over the course of the session. From a picture frame to house a cherished image or even an art piece of an animal, the options are endless.
Plus, if the couple really enjoys learning how to make a mosaic, they can always add an extra session to this class, using it to create a bigger piece of mosaic wall art. All mosaic supplies will be provided – enthusiasm and an open mind are all that’s necessary to bring along!
Treat a Brisbane-based couple to candle making classes
Candles bring a sense of peace and restoration to a home space but they can be expensive if burned through regularly. That’s why classes on how to make scented candles are becoming so popular, as people are keen to learn how to make homemade candles to bring light and aromatherapy to any room.
A soy candle making workshop makes a great addition to any list of anniversary gifts for couples who live in Brisbane and are keen to take a mindful moment together. Couples can spend a few blissful hours learning how to make soy candles of differing sizes and understanding the safest way to work with soy wax in order to make a DIY candle.
Looking for Christmas presents for couples who are hard to buy for? We've got you covered!
Surprise a Perth couple with a Turkish mosaic lamp class
Add this to your list of anniversary gifts for couples who love to travel! Sure, gifting international travel might be beyond your budget, but with this Turkish mosaic lamp class, they’ll feel one step closer to the heat and spice of Istanbul.
At this mosaic course, couples will come away with a one-of-a-kind Turkish lamp ready to brighten any dark corner. Their friendly teacher will guide them through different types of mosaic art, imparting wisdom on what colours and designs have been handed down over this thousand-year-old tradition, as well as instructing them on the history and process of this art form.
A complimentary cup of Turkish tea and a sweet treat will also be provided so that your couple have some sustenance throughout the delicate task of making a mosaic lamp.
Sydney-based artsy couples will enjoy these drawing classes
Nauti Studios offer a life drawing, illustration and painting class that will have creative couples benefiting from the chance to take soothing art classes that allow them to reconnect. Hosted in a workspace with over 350 houseplants, your favourite couple can take along some alcohol of their choice, sit down and fully relax in these art workshops. They’ll be drawing the human figure from life – they’ll just need to bring their own materials and some enthusiasm.
Cheese, wine and the Sunshine Coast makes for an idyllic couples gift
Cheese and wine tasting on the Sunshine Coast? What couple wouldn’t be thrilled? At this cheese and wine tasting in the Hinterland, lucky couples will be taken around beautiful towns to experience the very best of their local cheese, wine and beer. They’ll enjoy a wine tasting experience with cheese at the Flame Hill Vineyard first, before moving onto the Maleny Cheese Factory to sample some of their best cheese.
From there, they’ll wind through the Glass House Mountains and along the Sunshine Coast to a lunch destination where they’ll relax in a beautiful restaurant environment with some delicious food and drink. This experience is one of our most indulgent anniversary gifts for couples – if you know a pair celebrating a major milestone, it will earn you serious gold stars.
Give a Sydney-based pair a glassblowing class
Glassblowing is serious business, but it’s also a fascinating skill, and under Mark Eliott’s guidance, your chosen couple will experience a glassblowing class for beginners to write home about. Over the course of two hours at this glassblowing workshop, Mark will take everyone through the basics of the craft, introducing you to the technical equipment and tools – such as an oxygen-propane torch and the use of borosilicate glass rods and tubes. He’ll also cover techniques like sculpting, joining, stretching, colour mixing, and ultimately glass blowing. Everyone will make at least one glass object to take home and display proudly, allowing couples to leave with some cute new ornaments they can admire together.
If you and your partner or the couple you're gifting to are fans of the Blown Away series, this experience gift idea is the best way to bring the magic they watch on the screen to life!
Send a Melbourne couple to soy candle making classes
If you know a couple who are keen on sustainability but also enjoy burning a candle or two, this candle making workshop ticks all the boxes. Candle making workshops make great presents for couples, as they can learn the art of creating homemade candles in a relaxed environment that allows them to reconnect and melt the day away.
MetaScent will teach participants how to make a DIY candle using natural materials, guiding everyone through the process of mixing different fragrances to create gorgeous candles that are entirely unique to them. What better way to commemorate a 10-year anniversary?
