I received a gift card for this class for my 40th birthday and went with my sister and niece. The teacher was friendly, knowledgeable, easy to understand and explained the process clearly step by step. There were many samples of cheeseboards (3 different shapes to choose from) and coasters to view for inspiration from the many attendees who had completed their classes in the previous couple of weeks + more

I recently attended a Turkish lamp-making class over a long weekend, which was a thoughtful birthday gift from a close friend. Although there wasn’t a special occasion that weekend, it turned out to be an incredible way to spend my time. The instructor was fantastic—he was kind, patient, and very knowledgeable about the craft. He explained the steps clearly, making sure everyone felt comfortable, + more
Richelle Breed
The make a ring class was a gift for my birthday and it was a wonderful lasting memory which I will have forever with two fantastic rings. Adam was a excellent teacher. Very patient and knowledgeable. A very big range and ideas to pick from, with examples to view. We both had a wonderful time creating memories (and rings). Definitely recommend to others. Everything was supplied.

This was a great gift idea for my best friend who loves baking/decorating cakes!

Will 100% do another class again!

My wife and I did this course together as a birthday gift for her. We both had a great time, the instructor was fantastic; she was enthusiastic and very informative. We both made lots of earrings (I made more) that look impressively professional despite us being total beginners. We loved it and have now bought more materials so we can keep doing this great hobby together.

Pottery Workshop: Make Botanical Handmade Dinnerware
Thought it was a lot of fun- bit of confusion that I had only booked for one person as another client in the same class turned up late. Was amazed with variety of classes when I booked. It was a present voucher I used for my birthday! Great idea & the teacher was lovely!

Did a private class as a birthday gift and have zero regrets - Lucy was a great teacher. Didn’t realise you could select out of a variety of different shaped wooden boards which was nice.

I have totally enjoyed this class. It was such a relaxing afternoon learning to draw in charcoal. Gerard, our teacher is such a patient and passionate about art. I am going to go back for another class. I’m thankful to my daughter for giving me this gift for my 60th birthday. I love it!!!

Thanks for giving us a great experience and day!!!

Experience Gifts and Ideas
How to buy experiences in Australia instead of gifts this Christmas
Cherishing time with friends and family is our top priority, and that's why we've curated a selection of unique activity presents that will set the stage for unforgettable moments this Christmas 2024. Our diverse range of experience gifts are all about creating memories together, whether you're painting and sipping in our fun classes, crafting easy cocktail recipes or nurturing your creativity while building a terrarium. The options are endless, making it a breeze to find the perfect Christmas presents for your cherished friends! Not sure which class suits them best? We recommend the gift experience voucher option, which will grant them the freedom to handpick their preferred experience.
Finding the perfect experience gift ideas for a favourite friend or family member is much easier than you think. If you're not sure what they like, you can give them a choice of thousands of classes across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and beyond. To give you an idea, our experience vouchers in Adelaide can open up a world of creative classes from blending custom fragrances in Kensington Park to making colourful fused glass creations in Belair. Whether your giftee decides to sculpt clay, cook a meal or arrange flowers, all they have to do is find a class on a date that suits them and book it with their voucher—it’s never been easier to find Christmas gifts for her, him or someone you love! If they choose an online class, we’ll also send them a beautiful DIY kit that will include all of the tools and materials you would have been given if you attended it in person. All they’ll need to do is simply log onto Zoom to find the teacher ready to teach them everything they need to know about improving their skills.
Find fun gift experiences near you in 2024
It’s never been easier to embrace the art of gifting experiences instead of material possessions than in 2024! That’s because there are so many hidden gems and things to do near you that are so much better than receiving a physical gift.
For the Sydnersiders, head to the city’s Inner West area and discover a creative studio where you can try glassblowing upstairs with artist Mark Elliot and downstairs give woodworking a go under the guidance of the amazing team from Among The Trees. If you’re on the Lower North Shore, you’re in the perfect spot for trying pottery, with funky studios like Klaypots and Silky Shapes in Crows Nest, Print Paint Pot in Artarmon and Crockd in Neutral Bay. Each offers beginner-friendly pottery classes and courses in both clay hand building and wheel throwing.
If you’re in the sunshine state and looking for experience gifts in Brisbane, you can’t go past one of Vanilla Zulu’s unmissable cooking classes in Teneriffe. From healthy Japanese dishes to authentic Italian favourites, you’ll learn how to whip up some of the tastiest food you’ve eaten. Down south on the Gold Coast, have fun with paint and sip at The Sweet Fine Artist Studio in Mermaid Beach.

No matter where you or your gift recipient is, you’re guaranteed to find a plethora of creative workshops in your neighbourhood that you can try together. Alternatively, gift your loved one a solo adventure in their local area—it sure makes for thoughtful present ideas. And if you can’t find what you’re looking for in person, one of our interactive live online classes and DIY craft kits will bring that same magic to their home!

Spark creative joy for the man or woman in your life with our art, craft and culinary-related activities across Australia!

Our unique experience gifts in Australia are the perfect opportunity for bonding with loved ones, with each of our hands-on workshops designed for shared participation, fostering connections and enjoying quality time. They also come with scheduling flexibility, allowing your gift recipient to choose when and where they'd like to partake.
These unique and thoughtful gifts in 2024 express your love and appreciation of your favourite people, in a super fun and accessible way. In a world focused on sustainability and meaningful experiences, these experience gift vouchers shine as a more meaningful and eco-friendly way to express your love!
