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

1. Wheel Throwing Class: Clay Soirée, Abbotsford
Learn wheel throwing and create matching (or not!) pottery pieces that will become cherished V-Day mementos.
"A perfect date night activity. The instructions were easy to follow. Super fun and easy." – Paige
2. Paint and sip, Port Melbourne
Bask in the glow of your inner artist with this unique paint and sip class in the dark. Combining good vibes, BYO vino and low-key learning, it's one of the best Galentines ideas in Melbourne.
"A group of us Irish girls booked this to meet new people and have some drinks and socialise. It was a really good night. The teacher was so lovely and really helped with those of us who were rusty in the art department. Would highly recommend to anyone – whether it's for a group, date night or just a couple of friends looking for something fun to do." - Nicole

Swap your Valentine's dinner date for a pasta-making class and learn how to make tagliatelle and ravioli from scratch. Bellissimo!
"My partner and I had such a lovely time attending this class! Marina is knowledgeable, kind and very helpful. We learned a lot and we are now confident about recreating the pasta we made at home. We also got gifted the flour and tool to make pasta, a very good value for money. Great experience!" – Micah & Megan
2. Dumpling Cooking Class, Abbotsford
Learn the art of crafting delicious dumplings while sharing laughs and creating delectable memories.
3. Chocolate Making Workshop, Malvern
Is it just us, or is there something romantic about the art of chocolate making?
"Sal's chocolate making workshop was a great way to understand the fundamentals of chocolate making. The class was small so we could all get a lot of hands on experience and have fun. Everything was provided and was of a high quality and the chocolate is delicious. My wife and I made the workshop into a date night experience and we both really enjoyed it and would like to try more of these workshops to increase our skills. The bonus is getting to take home all of our own chocolate creations." – Guido

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. Ready to make your Valentines Day in Melbourne unforgettable? Your romantic adventure awaits...
