Birthday party ideas for keen crafters

For those who love crafting and DIY projects, there's no better gift than the opportunity to learn new art skills from local Australian teachers while having fun. We offer a range of arts and crafts workshops suitable for people of all ages and abilities. As one of the most popular birthday gift experiences, check out our hand building clay workshops. Your giftee can get their hands dirty and mould and shape clay to create a ceramic masterpiece. If they prefer something a little more hands-off but equally creative, why not surprise them with a watercolour painting class? These painting classes offer step-by-step guidance from professional artists, making it an ideal birthday gift experience even for beginners.

What’s more? If you're searching specifically for birthday gift experiences for her like your mum or sister who loves jewellery, consider signing them up for a jewellery making workshop. Here, they can design and craft their own pieces under expert guidance and take home unique custom jewellery they can wear for years to come! Whatever you decide, these are some of the most amazing birthday party ideas because they help your giftee try something new they’ve never tried before, as well as create a space to spend quality time with their loved ones.

Fun Christmas activities for family and friends

The holiday season is all about spending quality time with family and friends, so we think there’s no better way than to engage in some fun-filled activities together. Gift experiences can turn any ordinary Christmas celebration into extraordinary festive fun.

For families, gingerbread house decorating workshops make delightful Christmas experience gifts for kids that combine creativity with deliciousness. Bring the whole family together to decorate their own gingerbread house and for even more fun, turn it into a friendly competition and see which one the teacher or “judge” likes the best! On the other hand, if you're seeking exciting team building activities for your office Christmas party, a cocktail making class could work wonders. Not only does it teach everyone a new skill, but it also offers an opportunity to bond over delicious drinks. Your master mixologist can accommodate mocktails too, so everyone can have fun at your next staff Christmas party.

Classy hens party ideas for your BFF

The days leading up to your best friend's wedding should be filled with laughter, joy and unforgettable moments. So if you're looking for classy hens party ideas that are more than just the typical night out, we have quite the itinerary planned for you. If you want to make a day out of it, head to your local florist and learn how to arrange flower crowns. It’s not only a fun activity but also allows the bride-to-be and her tribe to create beautiful floral arrangements that can be used in the actual wedding ceremony or reception! Talk about cute DIY wedding ideas.

Then, after the class, stroll down and find some of the best bars, restaurants and cafes in town. Go for a classic bridal shower lunch at a high tea or spice things up at an Indian restaurant. If your friend is a foodie at heart, you can even consider booking a gourmet cooking class after your floral workshop, where everyone can learn how to prepare delicious dishes while having loads of fun. By the end of the class, all the girls can sit back and enjoy the food that they’ve made, even with a cheeky glass of bubbles. This experience gift is sure to promise an evening full of laughter, mouth-watering food and of course, good company.

Romantic wedding anniversary ideas for couples

This year, make your wedding anniversary extra special by gifting an experience instead of a traditional present. Experience gifts for couples offer a unique opportunity to do something different and create unforgettable moments together. We offer a wide range of gift experiences that are perfect for celebrating your love. If you're both food enthusiasts, indulge in a wine tasting experience in some of the most picturesque vineyards in Australia. For green thumb couples, flower arranging or terrarium making classes could be fantastic ways to bond while creating something beautiful to take home.

For those adventurous at heart, gift your loved ones a photography tour experience, where your giftee can learn how to capture their city at sunset, all through a camera or smartphone. A candle making class is another exciting option. Learn how to melt and pour wax, pick their favourite scents and take home their very own handmade candles! This candle making class is sure to help reignite that spark and bring you closer than ever. The beauty of these gift experiences for couples is that they're not just one-time events, they're shared memories you both can look back on for years to come.

These experience vouchers are ideal gifts because they offer flexibility and personal choice which is why they are an excellent way to celebrate any special occasion. Whether it's birthday gift experiences for him or experience gifts for Mum on Mother's Day, we have something suitable for everyone on your list. So why wait?
