Nourishing Experience Gifts for Women Who Need a Little Me Time

There is no better time to treat the special lady in your life with these gift experiences for her! Whether you’re looking for thoughtful Christmas gifts for Mum or romantic date night ideas for couples, we’ve handpicked a wide range of meaningful experiences that will help her relax, unwind and most importantly, get some well-deserved “me time.”

Reconnect with your feminine with perfume making 

Perfume has been loved by many women for centuries. In fact, history credits a woman named Tapputi as one of the world’s first perfume ateliers. In the 2nd millennium BC, Tapputi used distilled oils, flowers, roots and other aromatic herbs to create custom scents. Today, perfume making classes are the perfect invitation for women to reconnect with themselves. Channelling the passion and creativity of Tapputi, you’ll learn how to blend, balance and bottle your own signature fragrances from scratch.

Beginners are welcome, so don’t be shy if you don’t know the difference between your top, middle and base notes. Expert perfumers guide you through every step of the process, making this an experience gift for women that is ideal for complete beginners and budding aromatherapists alike. As well as enjoying the class itself, you or your giftee will leave with a custom collection of handmade perfumes to enjoy long after you step out of the studio.

The best part? You’ll gain a brand new skill set and the confidence to create your very own handmade DIY perfumes from scratch! In addition to being a thoughtful gift for daughters at Christmas, perfume making classes are one of the most fun things to do in Sydney with your bestie, sister or any other special lady in your life.
