Get Grandma a new weaving hobby
Looking for the perfect gift to make Grandma smile? A new weaving hobby could be just the thing! One of the oldest and most treasured textile crafts, weaving is not only timeless but also a fantastic way to create bespoke items for the home. From thoughtful basket-making kits to relaxing weaving classes, this colorful and hands-on craft offers a delightful gift that encourages creativity and relaxation.
Whether Grandma uses a portable loom or weaves by hand, the repetitive motions of weaving are known to melt away stress and bring a calming, meditative effect. This therapeutic activity is a wonderful way to boost mental well-being, offering both relaxation and the joy of making something beautiful.
The possibilities are endless! From cute coasters and decorative wall hangings to woven bags, there’s a project to suit every style and skill level. Grandma will love exploring the versatility of this beginner-friendly craft, discovering new ways to create heartfelt pieces.
Foodie gifts to please you and your grandma
For many of us, special occasions like Christmas are all about family and food---and by treating your grandma to a hands-on cooking class, you’ll get the best of both worlds! Whether you’re mastering Japanese street food, authentic Indian cuisine, or traditional Tuscan dishes, these workshops in Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, and beyond are a gift that keeps on giving.
In your cooking class, Grandma will get to learn culinary secrets from some of Australia’s top chefs. Together, you’ll whip up delicious dishes, sample your creations during the session and even take them home to share. Want to impress the rest of the family? Use the skills you’ve learned to recreate mouth-watering meals for birthdays, dinner parties or any special occasion.
Cooking with loved ones doesn’t just create delicious food---it also fosters meaningful connections. Studies show that sharing kitchen time can improve brain function, strengthen relationships and reduce stress. Gifting Grandma (and yourself!) a cooking class is more than just a fun activity, it’s a thoughtful way to nurture your bond and make lasting memories.
Pamper Gran with soap making
Is soap usually on your grandma’s wish list? Organic soap can make a useful gift, but if you want to treat your grandma to something really special, why not learn how to make soap together at one of our Australian craft classes? It’s one of the most popular Christmas gift ideas!
Soap might be one of the world’s most common washing products, but the processes used to manufacture our favourite store-bought varieties aren’t always clean. By learning how to make your own soap, you can create custom bars that are as gentle on the planet as they are on your skin. This makes them perfect for all ages and skin types, whether your grandma is looking for a new daily soap or something to nourish her skin during the summer months.
From fizzing bath bombs to the best natural body wash, our DIY soap making courses will be one of your new favourite things to do with your Grandma.
Unwind with Grandma at sewing classes
A sewing and embroidery course is one of the best experience gifts for Grandma that you can do together. From hand embroidery to fabulous fabric art, these beginner-friendly workshops offer a welcoming space for both seasoned stitchers and first-timers to have fun, experiment, and discover their personal style.
Led by passionate dressmakers and artists, these classes cover everything from cross-stitch and costume-making to crafting tote bags or even dabbling in haute couture. As a bonus, you and Grandma will leave the session with a beautiful handmade item – a tangible memory of your special day.
But the benefits don’t stop there. A sewing class could be the start of a shared hobby that brings you even closer. Whether it’s adding embroidery projects to your weekly catch-ups or chatting about stitching techniques over a cuppa, this gift creates opportunities for ongoing connection and creativity.
In our classes, you’ll receive all the tools and materials you need to unlock a new skill or brush up on old ones. So if you're wondering what to get for Grandma this Christmas, give her quality time with her grandchildren with an experience gift you can do together.
