Keen to learn more? Read on to discover 5 reasons why thinking outside the box this year is so much better than a store-bought present. 

1. Share quality time with each other 

Our unique experience gifts are more than just the present: it’s all about the experience. As your favourite person steps into the studio, they immediately feel calm, relaxed and ready to dive into a mindful activity. From flower arranging to woodworking to pottery, there’s nothing quite like a craft that helps you get into the zone as you get busy with your hands. 

Plus, it will make the day even more special when your giftee is with their loved ones, so tag along for the ride! Looking for relaxing gift experiences for her? Sign up for a dried flower arrangement workshop with Mum or your sister in Sydney, where you both can relax, unwind and learn how to arrange dried blooms into a floral masterpiece.

Or in need of gifts for Dad? Take Dad to a woodworking class in Perth and be guided by a local woodworker to create and design handmade wooden pieces. By you and your Dad sharing in a common activity together, conversation will flow easier and may even help you learn new things about each other.

2. Your gift recipient can take home handmade gifts to cherish forever

Just when you thought that was it, our unique gift experiences just keep getting better and better! Not only does your recipient create special memories with their loved ones, they get to take home the handmade pieces they make in the class, too. Turn a blank canvas into a colourful watercolour painting, knot yarn into a cute DIY scarf or even grind coffee beans into the perfect cup of coffee. Whatever you choose, every one of our unique gift experiences will help your favourite person create something special and give them a sense of accomplishment! There’s nothing more satisfying than making something new from scratch and turning raw materials into a masterpiece. 

At the end of the class, your loved ones will light up seeing their final product come to life, and take it home to cherish for years to come. Their DIY handmade presents can be perfect for brightening up their living space, making a statement with their outfit or adding quick and easy recipes to their cooking repertoire. If you’re looking for fun things to do in Australia, you’ve definitely come to the right place.   

3. Experience gifts can lead to a new hobby

Sometimes, a single experience gift can be enough to spark interest in a new hobby or activity. So why not surprise your loved one with the gift of art? From painting classes to photography courses and jewellery making, there are plenty of options for them to try something new! 

Our unique experience gifts in Australia are the perfect way to help them expand their creative skillset. As they attend one of our artisan workshops, they’ll learn new techniques, take home valuable tips and tricks, and even gain inspiration for future DIY projects. Who knows, with a bit of practice and guidance from local makers, your recipient may even turn their newfound passion into a hobby!

Plus, if they become addicted to their hobby, you can even book a beginner-friendly course so that they can keep coming back and continue developing their craft. Our artisan vouchers help your favourite person look forward to something completely unique and gives them some self-care time during the week. 

We believe that more than anything, arts and crafts are essential for wellbeing. They’re perfect for helping reduce stress and instead, have them feeling happier doing something they love. With no experience required, your special someone is free to explore their own creativity and learn a new skill that will stay with them long after the class. 

4. Our gift cards can be easily customised to your loved one 

Our unique experience gifts in Australia don’t just come with a one-size-fits-all label. Instead, they can be tailored to fit the giftee’s unique style, personality and interests. From macrame classes in Melbourne to Christmas wreath workshops in Brisbane, you will find a wide range of experience vouchers that are perfect for every kind of craft lover. Or if you’re unsure what to buy, give one of our experience gift cards and let them choose their favourite workshop to sink their hands into. 

Plus, our gift cards are designed to look as beautiful as the handmade presents your loved one will create in our workshop! You can add a personalised message for them and wish them some well-deserved downtime on their special day. 

No matter where your recipient is in the country, from Sydney, Perth, Brisbane and beyond, they will be able to pick a time and date that suits them best and is ready to celebrate their special occasion in style!
