Gift a glassblowing class to your favourite couple
One of the top fun things to do in Melbourne for couples, glassblowing and mosaic classes are hands-on, challenging and even a little bit magical. After all, there’s something quite mesmerising about playing with fire. Chances are the lovebirds in your life have never had a chance to put on a pair of goggles and learn how to operate a blowtorch, so gift a glassblowing class to your favourite duo. All classes take place under the watchful eye of a professional glassblowing artisan, meaning they’re 100 percent safe for beginners.
Wondering what to expect in a glassblowing class? In this workshop, couples will learn how to work with hot molten glass and transform them into colourful paperweights or baubles. Melbourne isn’t the only city where you’ll find glassblowing classes for couples, with Perth artisans also offering some incredible workshops. Learn how to fuse colourful mosaics, shape glass bowls and create boutique-worthy jewellery. Want to nail your 10 year anniversary gift? We've got you covered.
Send them to an adventurous knife making class
If your gift recipients aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty, metalwork classes make unique presents for couples. Led by experienced metalsmiths, these classes take them behind the scenes of blacksmithing studios and show them how to navigate your way around a forge, anvil, hammer, tongs and fire poker. Trust us, sparks will be flying!
As they hammer and forge, they can spend quality time together and help each other during the process. Learning a new skill together is beneficial in relationships because it helps them connect with their partner deeply. Who knows, a metalwork class could be their next date night!
So are you searching for personalised gifts with a bit of an adventurous edge in Sydney? Gift a knife making workshop! These craft workshops offer a fun and slightly cheeky twist if you're in need of gift ideas for couples who have everything. The best part? The couple will be able to take home their very own hand-forged knives, making this experience so much more meaningful than simply purchasing a pre-made knife. Check out this knife making workshop to help them start on an exciting knife making journey!
Make their day with a hands-on barista course
Are you on the hunt for special wedding presents for couples they'll be able to enjoy together? How about gifting them a delightful coffee class where they can learn the art of brewing the perfect cappuccino? Australia is filled with top baristas passionate about sharing their skills with coffee lovers across the country.
Of course, as the country’s coffee mecca, Melbourne offers some of the best barista courses. From latte art classes to hands-on barista workshops, there’s something to suit everyone. If you think your gift recipients would prefer to drink coffee rather than make it, a coffee lovers walking tour is one of the most fun things to do in Melbourne. Here, they will get to stroll down Melbourne's best cafes and sample a range of coffees to die for! For an extra treat, do you know what pairs well with coffee? Doughnuts! After their class, recommend them to head to Danielle's Donuts located on Flinders St, where they'll find a wide variety of sweet doughnuts available to buy. Tip: Try the caramel cheesecake donut!
Gift a cooking class for foodie lovers
What’s one thing you can never have too much of? Delicious food of course! Learning how to cook together is a fantastic chance for couples to bond and reconnect with each other. Wondering whether to opt for a pasta making masterclass, a Chinese dumpling extravaganza or a tantalising Thai feast? If you’re having trouble deciding, think about a country your recipients have always wanted to visit together and choose a cooking class to match. Or if you’re on the hunt for meaningful wedding presents for couples, choose a cooking class inspired by their honeymoon destination!
There’s no need for any previous experience, making our cooking classes great anniversary gifts for couples who want to get off Uber Eats and start making the most of their own kitchen. Armed with the skills to recreate recipes at home, couples can continue to enjoy the class long after they step out of the kitchen. As the gift giver, cooking classes are also the perfect excuse to fish for a dinner invitation.
Treat them to a relaxing Kintsugi class
Looking for foolproof presents for couples who have everything? It’s very possible your loved-up couple has never even heard of Kintsugi, let alone learned how to master it. This ancient Japanese art is incredibly therapeutic and is all about learning to embrace imperfection - a philosophy that every couple should adopt. Guided by experienced artisans, Kintsugi classes teach you how to transform broken ceramics into beautiful works of art using lacquer, fine gold powder and a healthy dose of creativity.
The upcycling nature of Kintsugi classes also makes them great gifts for eco-conscious couples trying to minimise their waste. This craft is making waves across Australia, with Kintsugi classes now one of the top fun things to do in Brisbane for couples. The couple will leave with their very own Kintsugi art to take home and treasure for years to come. The use of gold powder really makes Kintsugi ceramics sparkle and makes these classes great Christmas presents for couples as well.
Encourage mindfulness with these personalised gifts for couples
There's a reason why we love personalised couple gifts in Australia because they're carefully crafted to help couples relax and rejuvenate. They offer the chance to step away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and simply spend some quality time with your partner. Experiences are the perfect gift ideas for couples who have everything because they'll be able to step outside of their everyday routines and have some fun together.
Learning to master a new skill can also be amazingly therapeutic, making these gifts for couples a thoughtful way to support mental health. From gold-dusted Kintsugi workshops to high-energy cooking classes, experience gifts demand newbie makers to focus exclusively on the task at hand. No matter what’s going on in the outside world, they give them permission to step back and find a moment of Zen.
