Reviews from our gift recipients
Dorothy Zammit • Sep 2024
I was given the beeswax candle making class as a gift. The instructor was absolutely lovely and very easy to follow. She has an excellent set up in East Maitland and supplied all the materials. I thought the class was really great value for money, a fabulous gift and something I will always remember.

I booked pottery session at Oops on the occasion of my partner’s birthday and it turned out to be the best gift to him. My partner was truly thrilled and enjoyed the session. Jacqui was incredibly patient in giving us some wonderful and in-depth lessons on pottery. She even offered us wine and crips. For beginners like us Jacqui helped us in making 3-4 very cute pieces. Overall it was a a great value + more

The cooking class was a birthday present for my husband. He loved it very much. We both learnt new techniques how to peel prawns and how to cook snapper on bbq. The squid salad was also amazing. Loved the spices which were added. We bought some too for our use at home.

Large Terrarium Making Workshop
This large terrarium class was a gift to my sister and something we have wanted to do for a long time. The class didn't disappoint! We both loved every minute and the teacher was an amazing guide in helping us all create something special. The venue was easy to find and very welcoming. Overall, being able to take our masterpieces home was the highlight and we all felt empowered by the experience.

Gold or Silver Ring Making Workshop
I purchased this class for two as a mother’s day present and it was absolutely wonderful. The teachers Vincent and Izzy were knowledgeable, easily approachable and entertaining. They walked us through each step and assisted where needed in a warm and instructive way. The two rings we got to make and leave with are beautiful and fit amazingly and are personal. Overall it was such a great way to spend + more

Complete Patisserie Skills Course
I was gifted a voucher for Christmas and was very excited to book in to do the Patisserie Course (3 hrs each Monday evening for 3 weeks). Our teacher Ellie was a delight. She patiently took us through each recipe and guided us as we created our own. The venue was great and well equipped with every kitchen/baking utensil known to man. Over the 3 week period we learnt to cook so much including, + more

Experience Gifts and Ideas Sydney
Why Sydney experiences make the best gifts
- You can gift something unique: The real beauty of experience gifts is that they can’t be replicated. Unlike a pair of shoes, a bouquet of flowers, or that other new item you just had to have, our Sydney experiences can last a lifetime.
- They value authentic connection: Studies show that buying trends are shifting away from goods and commodities and towards authentic and unique experience gifts. Why? Because shared experiences can enrich lives, strengthen connections and improve mental wellbeing. You could spend Mother's Day in Sydney in 2025 learning something new with your mum and reconnecting!
- Your giftee will appreciate all Sydney has to offer: Ready to look for unique experiences in Sydney? We have lots of unusual (and fun) workshops that you might never have thought of, or even knew existed! There are birthday gift experiences like polymer clay earring making in Newtown—the best experience gift for anyone who loves personalising their look. If you’re on the hunt for unique gift experiences in Sydney, why not opt for a terrarium making class Redfern? You'll be gifting the chance for them to not only relax but also spend an hour designing and creating an indoor garden, the perfect addition to any home! There's more where that came from—they can practice kintsugi, an ancient Japanese technique of gold pottery repair, try watercolour painting, learn how to make a chocolate drip layer cake or even spend an afternoon at a South American BBQ cooking class. The experience gift ideas in Sydney are endless, and there are new experience presents listed every day. When it comes to finding out-of-the-box and exciting Sydney gifts, you've come to the right place!
- Experiences don’t feel like last-minute gifts: Last-minute gift shopping doesn’t have to be stressful when you’re buying an experience in Sydney. With a wide variety of Sydney workshops and classes available, you can easily find something that matches your giftee’s interests and tastes. Plus, with digital gift cards delivered almost instantly, there’s no need to worry about shipping. Say hello to last-minute gifts that still feel thoughtful and personal—it’s the perfect way to show someone you care, even if time is tight.
The top Sydney activities for adults that make great gifts
If you’re looking for the perfect present that’s more than just another item on the shelf, experience gifts in Sydney are the answer! Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, anniversary or just want to show someone you care, experience gifts offer something for everyone and are suitable for any occasion.
Here are five amazing experiences in Sydney that make great gifts for adults:
- Art classes – Art classes are not just for serious artists, they’re also for those looking to have fun and explore their creativity in a relaxed space. It’s something so few adults have time for in their regular day-to-day. That’s why art classes are such useful gifts for adults! From classic oil painting to pouring resin art, there are no limits to imagination.
- Cooking classes – Cooking class gift cards are the perfect presents for food lovers! From handmade pasta to fresh sushi, a cooking class is a great present idea for anyone in your life who loves meal prep or dinner hosting.
- Photography classes – In a city as beautiful as Sydney, photography classes are the best way to get your giftee out and about exploring the city they call home. From the opera house to the soft sands of Manly, the gift of a photography class is the gift of newfound appreciation for their city.
- Clay hand building workshops – Pottery hand building workshops let your loved one tap into their creativity while moulding something truly unique with their hands. Whether they’re shaping bowls, vases or abstract art, a pottery class gift card is a thoughtful present idea to encourage your giftee to slow down, relax and enjoy the meditative experience of working with clay.
- Woodworking workshops – For anyone who loves to work with their hands, a woodworking workshop is an unforgettable gift. From crafting small projects to learning the basics of furniture making, these classes offer a rewarding and practical way to build something lasting while having fun along the way!

What's even better about Sydney gift experiences is that they're located all across the city, meaning you'll have plenty of choices to find the perfect match in your giftee's neighbourhood. The teachers are local artisans, chefs and makers, and are dedicated to sharing their knowledge and beloved craft or art form with your giftee. Plus, by giving one of our Sydney experiences as gifts, you'll be helping to keep income and jobs within our local communities and supporting your local artists. They're the ones who will enrish our lives and those of our children, and ensure that our communities are arty, funky, interesting and tasty. For this reason, experience gifts are so much more meaningful than material things!
Special experience gifts for friends who deserve the world
Whether you're looking for alternative presents for her or special birthday gifts, soak up some quality time with your nearest and dearest at one of our Sydney experiences. Or, treat them to a unique experience gift card they can use however they choose! It’s as easy as choosing an artisan workshop you would like to gift a friend, selecting the dollar amount and then heading to the online checkout. Some of our teachers are mobile which means they can bring the class to a venue of your choice, and even host private workshops for special occasions like wedding anniversary gifts or Christmas experiences. Alternatively, your giftee can book into a public class and enjoy their experience with a group of like-minded people.
All materials are provided at most of our workshops, so your giftee can simply arrive with an open mind and a spark of creativity.
Spoil your loved ones the next time a special occasion rolls around and gift them something truly memorable like a glass blowing class in Marrickville or a DIY skincare class in the eclectic Inner West. When it comes to finding hassle-free experiences in Sydney, we've got you covered!
Our experience vouchers are sent to you immediately via email, which you can then print and present. If you'd like us to send you a workshop gift card, we can do that too, within one to three business days. And if you'd like us to help you customise or further personalise your gift certificate to make it extra special, no problem, just get in touch.
