1. Learn how to cook up a storm at a cooking class
They say that the way to someone’s heart is through the stomach… A cooking class is a great opportunity for couples to flex their culinary skills while enjoying some delicious homemade treats together.

3. Make scent-sational fragrances at a perfume class
Where couples can learn all about the sense of smell and its intimate connection with our emotions and memory, then blend their own signature scents together. How sweet!

4. Add a splash of colour at painting classes
As one of the best gifts for couples, painting classes are the perfect playground to express their inner creativity. After being introduced to washes, layers and various paint application methods, couples can then create their very own masterpieces to take home as mementos of both their day and your Christmas present!
5. Shake drinks at a cocktail class
Not only will a cocktail making class teach couples how to make a damn good martini or how to put a new twist on a margarita, but it’ll also have them shaking while pouring some seriously delicious beverages. These Sydney workshops are also perfect if your couple has been searching for unique date night ideas in Sydney.
6. Capture the Sydney CBD at a photography course
Your gift-receiving couple can get better acquainted with their fancy DSLR cameras and each other at the same time, with Sydney’s beautiful city skyline as the backdrop. A night under the stars = romance at its best.
7. Or purchase a gift card
Can’t decide which workshop to book for the lucky couple? No worries — we get it! Simply choose how much money you would like to spend and we can send out a lovely little gift card. Alternatively, you can get a voucher emailed to you as a nice, easy-to-print PDF (perfect for those last-minute purchases!).
The best part? Our workshops take place all over Sydney every day of the week, AM to PM, so your recipients will be able to find a class that is both local and that suits their busy schedules without any fuss.
By purchasing a workshop as a gift, you will be supporting a local small business or artist. Plus, one dollar from each booking gets donated to Dementia Australia — 'tis the season of giving!
