My wife and I took Rémy's wooden spoon carving class as an anniversary gift, after she had mentioned wanting to get into wood carving one day. From the moment we arrived, Rémy was incredibly welcomingMy wife and I took Rémy's wooden spoon carving class as an anniversary gift, after she had mentioned wanting to get into wood carving one day. From the moment we arrived, Rémy was incredibly welcoming and created such a relaxing atmosphere, sitting around the fire and enjoying tea while we carved. Rémy was a fantastic teacher, guiding us through each step with patience, encouragement, and a genuine passion for the craft. What really stood out was how he went above and beyond to help my wife get started with wood carving beyond the class, recommending books, tools, and other resources she could use on her journey. The four hours absolutely flew by, and I was amazed at how well our spoons turned out by the end. It was a fun, rewarding, and memorable experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend this class to anyone interested in wood carving. You won't regret it! Thanks again Rémy. + more

Teacher went above and beyond to see we had a great time. Cannot recommend enough if you're thinking of attending. Great value for money - purchased as a birthday gift experience for two and was an amazing gift that we will get to enjoy for many years now. Cosy studio space was warm and comfy (and it was raining and freezing on the day). Genuinely surprised by how well the mosaic lamps turned out. You are making it and thinking 'i'm not sure how good this looks'. Finally, once you've grouted and cleaned and wiped and its dry, you get to see and enjoy the end result of your hard work; an amazing looking lamp that just blows you away. 10/10 class. Give it a go you won't be disapppointed. Thanks for the experience Artistic Vibes, we love our lamps!! + more

As someone who had no experience with the soap making process, the way that we were guided through the process was so supportive. She is so knowledgeable and loves to share that people. I love that the products used are all natural, and feel so great on the skin. I love to use them for ourselves and as gifts for friends and family. Would definitely recommend for all. + more

This was my first woodturning class and what a buzz. My dad was a carpenter and had all the equipment and tools to make furniture but I was never interested in learning but I’m 50 now and my creative juices are flowing. Alma is an amazing teacher and guide she helped me make a candle holder and I feel like I have accomplished something dad would be proud of. I would recommend this for anyone wanting to do something different as this is a dying trade. Thankyou alma I had an amazing experience. Gratefully stephen + more

Why experience gift cards are actually romantic presents for Valentine’s Day
Think gift cards can’t be romantic? Think again. The key is not buying just any old gift card but an experience gift card! Why? Because it’s all about making memories. From making cocktails together to showing each other your painting skills, it’s less about the material item and more about the moments you’ll cherish.
For last-minute gifters, these experience vouchers are a lifesaver. Let’s face it, life gets busy! No need to scramble through crowded shopping centres or settle for something generic. With just a few clicks, you’ll have a present that’s as flexible as it is thoughtful. And for the indecisive among us, gift cards are a godsend. They give him the freedom to choose something he genuinely loves, from woodworking to photography or even something adventurous like knife making. The gesture feels thoughtful, while the choice feels personal.
It’s not just about ticking the Valentine’s Day box—it’s about giving him something to look forward to. Whether he’s crafting, learning or sipping his way through the day, experience gift cards for him foster fun, connection and a touch of adventure. Now that’s romantic!
Looking for a last-minute V-day present? Get a gift card for a terrarium making class, rated highly among our community.
"My partner and I went to this class as a Valentines day activity. Our teacher was fantastic, had great energy and paced the experience well. There was a great variety of materials to choose from and really allowed us to get creative! The class is definitely worth the money and we would both definitely do it again!" - Rutu Salunkhe.
Be unique this Vday with experience gifts for him
It’s easy to fall into the trap of generic Valentine’s Day presents—cologne, socks or the usual dinner date. But where’s the excitement in that? Experience gifts for him offer a fresh alternative to the predictable, turning Valentine’s Day into an opportunity for discovery and fun.
Does he love working with his hands? Resin art or woodwork classes are ideal for creative types. If he’s been craving a break from the everyday grind, a candle-making or paint and sip class offers the perfect chance to relax and recharge.
Adventure lovers can channel their energy into activities like blacksmithing, furniture making or beekeeping. And if he’s someone who loves to appreciate the finer things in life, workshops like artisan cheese making or chocolate classes are a surefire hit. He’ll not only indulge in delicious treats but also pick up some impressive skills to show off later.
The best part? These gifts are as unique as the person you’re celebrating. This Valentine’s Day, trade the clichés for a present that’s all about discovery and delight.
