Elke was so knowledgeable and helpful. She started the class with a good introduction and provided guidance with every next step. It was really exciting getting to learn about individual scents and how they come together to make perfumes. We enjoyed being able to smell everything and being able to create our own personalised perfumes. It was such a beautiful present idea and we loved the champagne + more

This was a surprise gift for myself and my two besties from my husband. The location is easy find, with lots of parking and close to the train station, great explanation from the teacher and quite easy to learn. I wish there was a greater variety of neutral tone yarn but the variety of bright colours is awesome. The girls and I had so much fun and our designs turned out awesome. It's best to pick + more

Experience Gifts and Ideas
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 around 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.
Melburnians can unwind while making a one-of-a-kind Turkish mosaic lamp at Art Masterclass on Elizabeth Street in the CBD, before trying their hand at a barista course just a short walk away with Barista Course Melbourne.
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!

Why experience vouchers are better than gifts
Experience vouchers beat traditional gifts in several ways—let us enlighten you! Digital gift cards prioritise the creation of cherished memories over material possessions, offering recipients the gift of lasting moments and special memories. Plus, these experiences can be tailored to suit the individual's interests, showcasing a personal touch that demonstrates thoughtfulness.
To go a step further, they also contribute to a greener world by reducing carbon emissions (no shipping needed!) and clutter (say goodbye to a cupboard full of unopened gifts). 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!
