Slow down with Mum at a macrame class

Make DIY perfume at a beginner-friendly workshop

Does the smell of your mum’s perfume always make you feel at home? Our sense of smell is closely entwined with our memories—so if you’re looking for Christmas presents for her in 2025 or birthday gifts for Mum from daughter, a perfume making class is the perfect way to remember her special day.

With the help of passionate perfumers, you and Mum will learn how to mix a signature scent that complements you beautifully. From lily of the valley to vanilla, choose your base note then create your very own bespoke blend, testing different combinations before bottling your finished fragrance and taking it home.

Do you want to switch your current perfume for something more sustainable? Most hands-on workshops include all-natural products, such as essential oils, that love the planet as much as you do. Not only is your gift experience for Mum a real treat but it also helps take care of Mother Nature! Perfume making classes are especially suitable for new Mums looking to indulge in some self-care when bub arrives. Discover more nourishing new mum gifts.

Reconnect with Mum at a flower crown making class

Are you looking for the best Mum and daughter gifts to help you reconnect with each other? A DIY flower crown class is a wonderful way to slow down and smell the roses—or whatever else you choose to include!

These beginner-friendly classes are a beautiful twist on traditional floristry courses. Whether you’re searching for birthday gifts for Mum in Sydney, Brisbane or beyond, you’ll leave the class with a gorgeous flower crown that will make you both look (and feel) like a queen.

You'll get tips and tricks from professional florists and have a chance to get hands-on with blooms. Love bold colour combinations? Go all-out with a dramatic flower crown that lets your personality shine. From seasonal fresh flowers to everlasting dried bouquets, flower crown classes cater to every taste.

Searching for something a little different? Have a go at making a flower wreath instead! In wreath making classes, you and Mum will experience all the joys of playing with blooms but instead of wearing them, you can display them on your dining table or the walls of your home.

Make homemade skincare together

For many girls, their earliest memories of skincare and beauty come from raiding their mum’s makeup bag. Nowadays, you and your mum probably have your own distinct styles but that doesn’t mean you can’t bond over the shared experience of making homemade skincare.

At all-natural skincare making classes, you and Mum can explore the world of sustainable beauty. Gain hands-on experience in the art and science of making skincare, from sugar scrubs to facial serums. Can you think of a better Christmas gift for Mum?

Plus, you won’t just leave with your new DIY beauty products. At some of our studios, you’ll also be given a book of recipes to recreate your favourite natural skincare products at home. That means you can host your own skincare workshops from the comfort of your kitchen. Why not pop the kettle on, invite your mum over and try a new kind of catch-up?

Celebrate your mother and daughter bond with our DIY candle classes

Candles are always an important part of a birthday. Not only are they the finishing touch on your birthday cake, but they’re also a chance to make a birthday wish! If you’re looking for birthday gifts for Mum from daughter, make all of your mum’s wishes come true by booking a shared candle making class to celebrate.

From super-realistic illusion candles (that look like cocktails) to natural soy wax, candle making classes in Sydney are sure to light up your mums life. The meditative process of mixing, melting and moulding candle designs is an excellent way to escape the stresses of everyday life and focus on the task at hand.

The best part? You and Mum will have plenty of time to enjoy each other’s company on her special day. By learning a new skill together, you’ll gain memories you can treasure for years to come—whether you’re catching up over the phone or sharing a pot of tea.

Create art and memories at a wheel throwing pottery workshop

Discover the joy of creating functional art by embarking on a wheel throwing pottery adventure together. This tactile and therapeutic craft allows you and your mum to mould clay into unique pottery pieces, from cups and bowls to vases and plates. With expert guidance, you'll learn the art of throwing on a pottery wheel and shaping and glazing your masterpieces.

Wheel throwing workshops are the perfect gifts for Mums who love getting creative. Not only will Mum learn some handy new pottery skills with you by her side but she'll also get to take home her rustic handmade ceramic piece. It will certainly fill her with pride and cherished memories every time she drinks her tea or coffee from her wobbly mug or puts flowers in her unique vase. 

Shanyn F. shared this beautiful review from her wheel throwing class:

"My daughter and I had such a nice experience. Dylan is lovely and patient, his demonstrations and instructions are really clear and easy to follow. Will most likely go again!"

Sip, paint and create with Mum this Mother's Day

Celebrate creative spirits with a paint and sip class. These lively and entertaining workshops provide the perfect setting for Mums and daughters to express themselves on canvas while enjoying a glass of wine or a mocktail. Guided by talented artists, you and Mum will explore various painting techniques, experiment with colours and create a masterpiece that reflects your unique personality.

Paint and sip classes are more about spending time together than perfecting your painting skills so there's less pressure on the artistic front and more of a chance to simply enjoy doing something fun and out-of-the-ordinary together. That's why they're one of the best gifts for mothers and daughters on Mother's Day. Perfect for beginners and more involved than simply getting a drink, paint and sip classes offer a relaxed environment for self-expression and bonding.

Sweeten your relationship with a cake decorating class

Feast on sweet treats with your mum at a cake decorating class. From whimsical cupcakes to elaborate multi-tiered cakes, these sweet workshops offer a delightful journey into the world of edible art. You and Mum will of course learn professional techniques for piping, working with fondant and creating stunning designs but you'll also have a delightfully wholesome time and get to take home your fancy cakes for eating over coffee and chats. Plus everyone knows, fancy cakes are some of the best ways to celebrate an occasion so whether it's Mums birthday gift, a Christmas experience or a fun Mother-daughter activity for Mother's Day, you can't go past a cake decorating class.

Head to a jewellery making class for Mums and daughters

What better way to celebrate the bond between a mother and daughter than with jewellery? Jewellery making classes are a perfect experience gift for the duo who love sparkly things and want to learn how to make them themselves. In these classes, you and Mum will work with a variety of materials to make own DIY rings, necklaces or bracelets. From working with polymer clay to make cute funky earrings to learning how to solder metal at a silversmithing class, these workshops will see you both finishing up with your personalised handmade jewellery. As a bonus gift for Mum, you could even make the piece for her! Or create matching pieces of jewellery like a mother and daughter ring to remind you of your relationship! That's next level bonding and about the sweetest gift we could think of for your precious mum.

Ai L. went to this polymer clay jewellery class with her mother as a wonderful bonding activity including jewellery, pizza and drinks:

"Mum and I really enjoyed the class. The teacher was knowledgeable, had great ideas and was helpful. The venue was well equipped and close to Redfern train station. I could definitely hold a party there."

From paint and sip classes to flower arrangement to jewellery making classes, you'll find plenty more gifts for Mum filled with warmth, creativity, bonding and a tangible token of those precious moments spent together.
