Ignite the spark with candle making
Romantic and sensual, candle making classes are one of the most fun things to do in Brisbane for couples. Workshops are fun and hands-on, with a focus on teaching you how to make candles at home. Throughout the couples class, you’ll learn how to melt wax, blend fragrances and set wicks all while having quality time with your partner. With intoxicating, aphrodisiac essential oils like ylang ylang, patchouli and sandalwood to play with, DIY candle classes make fantastic experience gift ideas for couples.
By the end of the class, you’ll leave with a set of beautiful, handmade candles - perfect for adding a romantic touch to your next home date night. Who knows, your favourite couple may even fall in love with the art of candle making and leave with a brand new hobby they can enjoy together.
Head on a fluid art adventure for date night
Getting creative with a partner is one of the best ways to bond, connect and dive deeper into your relationship. Held at studios across the city, our fluid art classes are one of the most fun things to do in Perth. Led by enthusiastic artisans, these couples classes teach you how to transform everyday homewares like coasters, cheese boards, clocks and flowerpots into beautiful works of art.
Looking for the perfect gift for busy parents? Our fluid art experience gifts for kids whisk the little ones away to a workshop and give Mum and Dad hours of adults-only time. You could even send the kids to an art class while the grown-ups take part in a cocktail masterclass or whisky distillery tour.
Sink your hands into clay together
Perfect for couples who aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty, pottery classes are fun, interactive and yes, even a little bit sexy. There’s something sensual about using your hands to transform slippery clay into art, making pottery classes one of the best fun quality time ideas for couples. Our wheel throwing workshops are taught by expert ceramicists who will teach you how to create stunning masterpieces.
Plus, you can even make it more special with a clay and sip night. Simply, bring a bottle of wine and let the good times roll! As you hand build clay, you can sip on a glass of wine and reconnect with your partner in a meaningful way.
As well as being a fun activity, pottery is an incredibly therapeutic pastime. This makes our ceramic classes perfect experience gifts for stressed out couples who need a little down time. There’s no need for previous experience as our pottery workshops are all designed for beginners. Your teacher is eager to help you and your partner receive expert help and guidance to make something you'll both love!
Indulge your taste buds with a food and drink tasting
One of the ultimate gift experiences for couples, food and drink tasting classes invite you to indulge at some of Australia’s top bars and restaurants. From gin making masterclasses in Melbourne to food and wine tours in the Hunter Valley, there’s something for every age and interest. Instead of learning a hands-on skill, you’ll embark on a guided tour or tasting class designed to tantalise your palate.
Coffee walking tours in Melbourne make amazing gift experience ideas for caffeine-obsessed lovebirds, while craft brewery tours in Surfers Paradise will appeal to beer enthusiasts and make great experience gifts for men. Along the way, the happy couple will get to discover a new side to their city. Chances are, they’ll return to one of their favourite cafes, cocktail bars or wineries for a future date.
