Spoil her with a natural soap making class

Soap products have always been popular gifts for Mum in Australia, but if you really want to treat someone special, why not give them a more unique soap making gift experience? Whether she’s based in Brisbane or Melbourne, looking for Sydney activities or Perth experiences, our friendly classes are a great gift for new Mums, giving them the chance to embrace their creativity and enjoy some well-deserved me-time. 

As a new parent, she’s probably used to balancing bags of baby equipment whenever she leaves the house. But for our soap making classes, all she’ll need to bring is herself. We’ll provide everything from the specialist soda to the herbs and botanicals, using all-natural ingredients that her nose will love as much as her skin.

Our classes are some of the most fun things to do in Sydney and they make fabulous Christmas 2024 gifts. Embrace the power of aromatherapy and learn how to make a nourishing, sustainable soap that will bring a handmade touch to her postpartum pamper sessions. Soap making is also a wonderful way to spend quality time with grandma! 

Follow your nose to a perfume making class

Our sense of smell is intimately connected to our memories. So how better to mark the first precious months of motherhood than with a brand new fragrance? 

When you’re on the hunt for the best gift for new Mums, follow your nose to a sensory perfume making class! The lucky recipient of this experience gift will have the opportunity to make a bespoke fragrance or incense, all with the encouragement of their skilled instructor. 

By choosing her own base note and blends, she’ll be able to create a perfume that’s tailored to her preferences–a wonderful way to slow down, chill out, and focus on herself. Not only will she learn how to make perfume and leave the class with a handmade fragrance, but she’ll also get the chance to explore perfume’s scent-sational history. Plus we know new mothers are often pressed for time so what better way to get a quick confidence boost than by spritzing their very own perfume and feeling infinitely more put together than they were a minute ago?

Let her confidence bloom at floristry workshops

If you’re looking for relaxing Mother’s Day gifts, what could be better than getting her out of the house and closer to nature? Discover a brilliant bouquet of floristry classes throughout Australia, all of which are perfect gifts for new Mums, encouraging her to get back to basics and immerse herself in the enveloping world of flowers.fFrom fresh flower crown workshops to dried floral bouquet classes, we’ve got a class to suit every season. All of our floristry workshops are led by friendly, passionate teachers, who will share the secrets of flower arranging while helping you discover a style that’s all your own. There are no rules in these hands-on workshops–simply roll up your sleeves, select your beautiful blooms, and start experimenting! 

Floristry courses are also a great option if you’re searching for meaningful Mother’s Day gift ideas. Instead of buying her a bunch of flowers this year, allow her to arrange her own DIY bouquet. Not only will she get to experience the joys of flower arranging, but she’ll also learn floristry skills, tips and tricks to make many more arrangements.

Whether you’re buying a gift for a bona fide earth mama or simply want to help a friend unwind, our floristry classes are some of the best gifts for new Mums.

Treat her to candle making classes

It can be hard to snatch five minutes for yourself as a new Mum, so it’s the little things that really add up. A beautiful candle will add a touch of luxury to a quick bath or takeaway dinner–and if it’s a DIY candle that she’s carefully made herself, it will be even more special.

From soy candle making in Sydney to beeswax workshops in Brisbane, we’ve got a variety of candle classes to suit every preference. All of our classes are ideal for beginners, making them the perfect place to embrace a new skill and melt your worries away. Our instructors provide all the candle making equipment you’ll need and will be on hand to offer guidance and spark a life-long interest in this craft. 

With so many classes and cities to choose from, these candle making workshops make great Christmas gifts for Mum, whatever her preference. How about a candle making and dried flower arranging combo? Or she could even learn how to make a super-realistic breakfast candle that smells (and looks) good enough to eat!

Pamper her with a natural skincare or haircare class

A beauty routine is probably the last thing on most new Mums’ minds. But from an effortless updo to a quick natural cleanse, we’re firm believers that spending a little time on yourself can boost your mood and it might be just the present the new Mum in your life is after. 

Wherever she’s based in Australia, why not treat her to one of our specialist skincare classes or haircare workshops? Ideal for people with an interest in sustainable skincare, our friendly studios are a great place to explore the world of natural ingredients. Not only will she enjoy the calming process of making her own DIY beauty products, but she’ll also get a brand-new batch of all-natural items. These will be the perfect gifts for bringing a new level of indulgence to her baths, massages, and showers–when she next has the time of course!

Alternatively, our beginner-friendly hairstyling courses make excellent new Mum gifts, as well as being great indoor activities for mother-daughter days. She’ll learn how to create everything from the perfect everyday bun to intricate fishtail braids, gaining skills that she can show off at your next brunch date or girls’ night out. A word of warning though, her newfound talent is bound to be in high demand! 

Gift an online class or DIY box with her comfort in mind

If you’re looking for the best gift for a first-time Mum that nurtures and spoils her while acknowledging that she may prefer to stay in the comfort of her own, consider gifting an online class experience or DIY craft box. With an online class or craft box she gets all the mindful benefits of engaging in learning a craft, plus the finished product at the end, without having to leave her home or newborn. The beauty of these gifts is you can do them from anywhere in Australia so if you’re separated from each other, you can still do the experience together online.

From making organic shower products to adding an indulgent touch to her cherished hot showers to crafting botanic skincare products to help with her self-care regime, there’s an online experience for every type of new Mum. Online classes are thoughtful gifts for busy new Mums and a special way to bond over distance.

Our Australian gift experiences are a wonderful way to support someone special as they embark on their new role in life. Whether you’re looking for sustainable skincare classes in Sydney, perfume workshops in Perth, or the best gift experiences for Mum in Melbourne, you’re sure to find the perfect present for her in 2024.
