Such a beautiful and fun experience! Jude was amazing and took the time to help us all create our own signature scents. This was actually the third perfume-making class I’ve attended, so I came intoSuch a beautiful and fun experience! Jude was amazing and took the time to help us all create our own signature scents. This was actually the third perfume-making class I’ve attended, so I came into the experience with a little knowledge of the process and Jude’s class absolutely lived up to my expectations! I purchased this experience as a birthday gift for my friend and I honestly think a perfume-making class makes such a great gift idea! It’s something different and unique. Rather than simply buying someone a bottle of perfume and hoping they like it, this experience allows them to create a fragrance that reflects their own personal style. Plus, they get to take home both a 30ml bottle and a 15ml roll-on of their custom scent! I’m so glad this experience has finally opened in Brisbane! Twelve months ago, I was searching for something similar as a birthday gift for someone else and had to travel all the way to the Gold Coast from Brisbane. Before that, I attended my first perfume-making class in Bali in 2023 and had always wished there was something similar back home after raving to my sister about how much fun it was! I’m already excited to take more of my friends along in the future! Even the friend whose birthday gift this was has spent the entire weekend being asked by her friends about the experience, with everyone wanting to know all the details because they want to create their own perfumes too! They also LOVE the scent she created. My sister and I are also absolutely obsessed with our new perfumes with mine being called ‘Tom Holland’s Sweat’ I couldn’t recommend this experience enough if you’re looking for something fun, creative and a little different to do in Brisbane, or if you’re searching for a unique gift for someone special! + more

We loved creatingWe had a wonderful time at the terrarium workshop! The teacher was friendly, knowledgeable, and patient, guiding us through each step and making the experience enjoyable and easy to follow. We loved creating our own little miniature gardens, choosing the plants, arranging the layers, and adding the finishing touches to make each terrarium unique. The best part was getting creative and taking home something beautiful that we made ourselves. It was a relaxing, hands-on experience and a lovely way to spend time together. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and unique activity or a thoughtful gift idea! + more

Why Melbourne experiences make the best gifts
- Value what truly matters: The best thing about buying a Melbourne experience gift is that you’re placing value on living life over accumulating stuff. Instead of collecting things that may eventually gather dust, you're gifting someone the chance to try new experiences, learn new skills and explore fresh passions. Whether it’s pouring resin art, decorating a cake or making a custom fragrance, experience gifts are all about enjoyment and adventure.
- Make last-minute gifts special: Have you ever scrambled for the perfect last-minute gift? Well, the beauty of an experience is your present comes in the form of a workshop gift card. That’s an almost instantaneous delivery for digital gift cards, so there’s no more stressing about shipping times or wrapping paper! Even better, you’re still giving something incredibly personal and thoughtful. It’s the perfect way to avoid the last-minute gift panic while still impressing your loved ones with something unique.
- Focus on memorable moments: Our Melbourne experiences are perfect for solo crafters, lovely duos or festive groups so they’re the best way to make a bunch of fun memories with your loved ones (or just a treasured memory for one!). And if you’re looking for unique birthday experiences in Melbourne, there’s nothing like a group workshop to get the party going.
- Spend quality time together: An experience gift is the perfect way to connect with your favourite people.

“This class was given to me as a gift—I was very unsure what to expect but absolutely loved every minute of it! The teacher was so patient and helpful with me.
