Bond over jewellery making

For an at-home date night that really shines, a DIY silversmithing for beginners class ticks all the boxes. What better way to commemorate your anniversary than with a beautiful piece of jewellery you crafted together? 

This DIY craft kit includes everything you need to kick off your new silversmithing hobby, meaning you can continue to make jewellery at home long after you’ve completed your online course. If you miss hunting for handmade treasures at markets like South Melbourne or Salamanca, you’ll love eclectic options like our clay jewellery making at home online workshop.   

Shake things up with cocktail classes

Craving a night out for your anniversary? Hitting up iconic entertainment enclaves like Flinders Lane and Eagle Street Pier may not be an option, but with an online cocktail making class you can recreate the buzz at home. Run across Australia, these iso-friendly date night at-home classes will teach you how to shake, stir and muddle like a pro. 

It’ll feel like Christmas has come early when you unpack your custom DIY cocktail kit delivered directly to your door. Kits come with everything you need to create craft cocktails at home. Learn how to make three classic cocktails—a margarita, vodka martini and a negroni—with this cocktail making and quiz at home.

If nights in front of Netflix are starting to feel a little dull, an online cocktail class is the perfect way to mix things up and inject some excitement back into your indoor date ideas. Looking for Christmas gift experiences for couples? Reconnect with these playful presents!

Express yourselves with art classes

From whimsical watercolours to hand-drawn mandalas, online art classes are one of Australia’s best indoor activities for couples. There’s no need for previous experience, with most classes tailored towards beginners. So, whether you want to learn to paint or master sketching, we have an option for you.

If date nights at home just aren’t complete without a glass of wine or bubbly, you’ll love our paint and sip online classes that combine two of our favourite things – art and alcohol. 

Feeling a little stressed while stuck inside? Art can be incredibly therapeutic, making it a particularly good option for de-stressing and enjoying a relaxing date night at home. 

Learn how to make mouthwatering chocolate

Cook up a storm in your kitchen

Being stuck at home for whatever reason is the perfect excuse to hone your skills in the kitchen. Whether you want to recreate your favourite street food from the Twilight Hawkers' Market in Perth or learn to master the art of authentic Italian pasta, online cooking classes make great virtual date ideas. Plus, our DIY kits include everything you need to bring your chosen cuisine to life. 

Learn to make your favourite curries from scratch with an online Indian cooking class or keep things sweet and learn to make South America's most loved biscuits, Alfajores in this live streaming class.
