Terrific venue, high quality tooling and very experienced and patient teacher. Would make a great gift.
Marwa Kechtban • Jun 2026
Alyssa is so knowledgeable and a real industry expert! She went above and beyond to make sure that we were happy with our perfumes and helped us learn so much. She is also incredibly funny and friendly.Alyssa is so knowledgeable and a real industry expert! She went above and beyond to make sure that we were happy with our perfumes and helped us learn so much. She is also incredibly funny and friendly. We explored all of the different essential oils, synthetic fragrances, and mixed blends; learning about the tips and tricks to creating a great perfume. She also put a “birthday” sash and gave a small gift for the people who were celebrating their birthday to make them feel extra special! + more

Friendly, lots of knowledge and good tips. Thoroughly enjoyed the class. Was a great Mother's day gift.
Samuel Inglis • Jun 2026
I loved it because there was so much paint and it was so messy. And I thought it was fun because you could do whatever I wanted with paint. It was the best birthday gift I ever had. From Leah 10 and Stella 7 ️.

What you should gift on Valentine's Day in Melbourne
In a world of material possessions, our Melbourne Valentine's activities offer something far more valuable: memories. When you choose an experience over a traditional gift, you're creating opportunities for connection and quality time. Whether you learn to throw clay on the wheel or solder silver at a jewellery-making class, you'll leave with unique stories to reminisce about for years to come. Not sure which Valentines ideas are right for your partner? Consider these tips when choosing an experience from our selection of Valentine's day events in Melbourne:
-
Know your partner's interests: Choose an experience that aligns with their passions. If your boyfriend loves Italian food, a fitting Valentine's gift for him is a gnocchi or pasta making class.
-
Consider your relationship stage: New couples might prefer relaxed social activities while long-term partners might enjoy more intimate experiences.
-
Think about comfort and energy levels: Some people love being centre stage while others prefer more low-key date ideas. If you girlfriend is the life of the party, a fun Valentine's gift for her is a cocktail-making class.
-
Respect your budget: Not everyone wants to spend big bucks on Valentine's Day – and that's okay! Find an experience gift that aligns with your financial goals.
The beauty of experience-based gifts is that they continue to give long after the day is over. No matter what you choose, the skills you learn, the laughs you share, and the memories you create will become part of your shared story. (Cute!) Valentine's Day in Melbourne is about so much more than traditional romance. It's about connection, creativity, and shared experiences. Whether you're crafting a ceramic piece, mixing cocktails or learning how to make mosaics, you're creating memories that will last far beyond Feb 14th.
