Complete Patisserie Skills Course
There’s nothing better than finding the perfect present and warming the heart of someone you love. If you’re struggling to find the perfect Canberra gifts for friends or family members, why not try one of our unique experiences in Canberra? Perfect for loved ones who already have everything they could want, as you’ll be gifting them a completely new experience! We have a whole range of creative and unique workshops that will encourage a new passion and help them form new memories, from terrarium classes and pottery workshops to cocktail masterclasses!
There are so many options for gift experiences because while Canberra might be one of the country's smaller cities, it still has so much to offer! Whether you're looking for out-there presents for men to treat your dad on his birthday or thoughtful and creative gifts for women to get mum something special for Mother's Day, our local teachers and experts are always adding new and exciting classes for people of all ages and interests. So if you're looking for unique gift ideas, let our Canberra experiences lend a helping hand!
One of our most popular Canberra gift experiences is a paint and sip class in City Walk. Your lucky gift recipient can spend an evening in the CBD painting away their worries with a tasty tipple in hand—what’s not to love? Another option is our crowd-pleasing Turkish mosaic class in hip Braddon. Whisk your giftee off to the bright colours of Turkey as they learn how to make a truly beautiful mosaic lamp. This craft class is sure to please any arty folk you know.
Not sure what to buy for your loved one? If the person you're buying for is a creative soul, then our Canberra gift ideas are perfect for them—and even if they’re not, we have plenty of out-there and fun activities that will bring joy to their hearts and let them express themselves in a new way! Many of our classes are designed for beginners so whichever activity you pick, you can expect a welcoming space for your giftee to indulge their creativity!
Looking for Christmas presents for women? If you're looking for gift experiences in Canberra for the lady in your life, why not treat her to the chance to improve her art skills with one of our many artist-led craft classes and painting courses? If you’re searching for Canberra gifts for men, one of our BBQ cooking classes is an ideal option. As cooler months approach, they’ll be able to impress friends and family with their newfound grill skills and teach everyone the tips and tricks they’ve learned. Know someone who loves happy hour? Our cocktail making classes are among our most loved experiences (who doesn’t love cocktails?). They’ll learn how to make their favourite cocktails with a pro at a cool bar in the city.
Your friends deserve a present that’s as unique as they are! So why not spoil your loved ones on their next birthday with a special present like a cooking class in the nation’s capital? We have all sorts of culinary experiences, from sushi classes and wood-fired pizza workshops to craft beer tasting and cocktail masterclasses. And, if you're looking for something more creative and unusual, we have plenty of new classes popping up every week!
If you know someone who is always down to DIY, what about gifting them a crafty experience such as macrame or resin art? There are loads of unique experience gifts in Canberra and DIY kits to choose from—whatever the occasion. Why not spoil your friend on their birthday by giving them the chance to unleash their inner artist at a local paint and sip studio—they'll love being able to pour themselves into an artistic activity over an afternoon.
Still stuck searching for quirky presents that they’ll remember forever? Why not let them choose their own gift with one of our Canberra experience vouchers? With an e gift card, they can choose between hundreds of online and in-person experiences and crafts to dig into in their own time. It's a great way to say 'thanks' or 'I love you' without worrying about whether they’ll enjoy their gift or not.
Sort out your shopping list by giving personalised gift experiences for Christmas! Offer your loved ones the chance to learn something new or indulge in an activity they adore. Unlike traditional gifts that may end up on a shelf, an experience brings joy and connection and creates long lasting memories with their favourite people. So why wait? Come and take a look at our most popular festive workshops in Canberra that make for memorable and thoughtful Christmas gifts.
For those who love the cosy spirit of Christmas, a candle making class at Instala DIY Studio could be the perfect experience gift. Your gift recipient can make their own candles and choose from over 100 scents like cinnamon, vanilla or eucalyptus, making this a gift that keeps on giving as they light their candles throughout the season. If you have a creative friend in your life, gift a Christmas glass ornament workshop at Atelier 818 in Fyshwick. Guided by local artisans, your recipient will learn how to cut and arrange coloured glass into beautiful decorations that will add a festive touch to their Christmas trees.
Food lovers will relish a Christmas cooking workshop at BBQ School, where they can learn to make everything from a delicious turkey roast to Christmas ham or even try their hand at BBQ sticky toffee pudding. This hands-on class offers the added bonus of taking home recipe cards to recreate these dishes again and again! For something a little more spirited, consider a holiday cocktail making class at Events on Fire where your loved one can mix, shake and sip on their favourite drinks.
Didn’t find what you’re looking for? No problem! There are plenty of unique festive gift experiences to celebrate Christmas 2025. And if you’re not sure what to buy, simply choose a workshop experience gift card and let your loved one choose instead. This way, you know they’re receiving something they’ll truly cherish and want!
