When it comes to wholesome gift-giving, gift experiences for her are a surefire winner! Why? Because, unlike a material present, gifting an experience focuses on your giftee living life to the fullest. Let's face it, it's likely she doesn't need more stuff and anything she does need she can get herself. So get her what she really wants—me time. Whether you're buying Christmas gifts for her, a Mother's Day present for your mum or are just looking for a gift idea for your stressed-out friend, we’ve handpicked a wide range of meaningful gift experiences that will help her relax, unwind and most importantly, get some well-deserved me time.
Help her unwind 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, your giftee will learn how to blend, balance and bottle her own signature fragrances from scratch.
Perfume is a popular gift for women and a perfume making experience takes it one step further for the ultimate personalised present. Beginners are welcome and will be joined by expert perfumers guiding them every step of the way, so rest assured your gift is easy to use and accessible. Plus you can always join her and spend a relaxing afternoon surrounded by your favourite scents—it's the perfect aromatic escape and nourishing gift for her. This experience is best shared so it's a wonderful activity for mothers and daughters or groups of friends looking for a fun day out.
Based in Sydney and looking for the best jewellery making class to give as a gift for her? Try this natural perfume class in North Bondi. Working with natural essential oils, this nourishing class will teach you and your giftee how to make aromatic roll-on perfume with no chemical nasties. See how others enjoyed the experience:
"This was one of the best workshops I've attended! We spent the session learning about natural perfume and explored different fragrance notes to make our signature scent. Jessica was so knowledgeable and was an excellent guide -- when our perfumes weren't smelling quite right, she knew exactly what we needed to balance out the scents. This was so much fun and I'd definitely do this again!" - Shirley Y.
