We had the best time. I bought this gift as a Mothers Day present for my mum, my mother-in-law and myself. The food was great, the cocktails were delicious and the dumpling making class was so much fun. Can’t wait to make them now at home. Thank you

It was a gift from my family. My teacher was very good she answered all my questions and went out of the way to show me more. I learnt some new tips and tricks which will be helpful in my sewing.

Textiles class review by Sharon Cottle - Sydney


Paul Peterson




"The best birthday gift I've ever had!" said my girlfriend after Tony's painting class. We were both absolute beginners and Tony patiently taught us the basics in a fun, educational, and hands-on way. He is both an expert and a natural motivator and his sunny artist studio was just a relaxing space to be inspired. I have no doubt he has lots to offer experienced painters, but if you're a beginner look  + more

Painting class review by Paul Peterson - Sydney


Nicole Fong




Noriko was a lovely, helpful and friendly instructor. Her hands on and patient approach made it so easy to follow the kintsugi process, and the bits of kintsugi history and background, and tea break with snacks kept the session interesting. I can’t wait to apply what I’ve learned to the broken ceramics i have at home. The kintsugi kit that Noriko stocked was an easy way to try it for myself.  + more

I gave the tufting class experience as a gift for my best friend and it was such great fun All the materials were included, the instructors were very helpful and the rugs turn out so fin! 100% would recommend!

The perfume-making class was a gift from my husband. I am obsessed with perfumery and has a reasonable knowledge about the subject. I thought that I may not learn anything new. Gosh I was wrong! Louella is a fun and engaging teacher and very knowledgeable about the science and history of perfumery. We had lots of laughs. I enjoyed it immensely and have been recommending the class to my friends. I  + more

Had an amazing time! It was a Christmas gift from my son, who also participated in the class, which made it doubly special.

I bought this as a Christmas present for my Dad and he really loved it! Nathan was a fantastic teacher, he was able to explain and correct us so that we both learned a lot by the end of the lesson.

I got the class as a birthday present and went with a mate. Even though I've been into BBQ and smoking for a few years, I still learnt a new skills. The teacher had a lot of experience in big commercial events and catering; he knew his stuff. The venue was basic, but you don't need much for BBQ. The food cooked was delicious and the beers they had were also really good. A couple of crafty ones including  + more

Nicole Poblete




The class was a gift from my sister in Canada to my daughter who is 12. I came as well thinking 5hrs was a long time for her to be alone but she would have been fine. The teachers were super helpful and the technique was easy to pick up. My one regret was not picking a harder design for myself as I thought it would turn out bad, it being my first attempt and all. There was also a good amount of colours  + more

Dionne Hunter




The Kids Graffiti Class was a Christmas present for my 8 year old nephew, who has a strong creative drive and loves to draw. The idea was to give him some exposure to other ways of expressing himself through graffiti techniques - and he learnt so much in 90mins! He loved the idea of designing his own spray can and getting to take it home. His dad has now given him a section of the garage wall to use  + more

Bhavna, our cooking instructor, was so lovely and knowledgeable about Indian food and the history behind the cuisine and the spices.

Pottery class review by Vera Manalac - Sydney


Rebekah Page




Bought as a gift for my daughter (also bought myself one!) the teachers were helpful and informative. The venue was quaint, the workspace however a little small for each person. We both made two rings one “stacker” ring and then a thicker silver ring. My daughter and I both enjoy crafting classes and this would definitely be one to do again.

Gold or Silver Ring Making Class review by Rebekah Page - Sydney


Andrew Mills




Specifics: It's held in a proper art room/studio room. There was about 12 of us total in our session groups of 2 and 3. Both hosts who run the event are super easy and nice but really engaging and help you get the hang of it. We stayed back afterwards and chatted about starting some resin projects at home and they are genuinely happy to give advice and make recommendations and show what they do on  + more

I purchased this experience with Henry for a dear friend as a Christmas gift as she had always been interested in having bees of her own.

Romantic experience gifts

Experience gift cards can boost wellbeing


If you’ve ever wondered what the benefits are of gifting experiences over traditional gifts, we’re here to help shed some light. Experience gift cards are so much more than just the excitement of trying something new or learning a skill. They're also incredibly beneficial for your wellbeing! Research has shown that engaging in creative activities can help reduce stress, promote positivity and boost mental health. So, when you gift an experience voucher, you're essentially gifting joy, relaxation and a much-needed break from the daily grind!

Picture your loved one immersing themselves in a painting class, letting their worries melt away as they focus on their canvas and colours. Or imagine them laughing with friends at a pottery workshop as they shape clay into funky pots and vases. These moments of joy and relaxation are priceless, and a pretty cool perk to our digital gift cards.

And it's not just about individual enjoyment either. Group experiences can help connect friends, family members and even colleagues too. Whether it's a team building cooking class or a group painting session, shared experiences create lasting memories that go well beyond a physical gift.

Plus, with our ClassBento experience vouchers, your giftee will have the freedom to choose what they want to do and when they want to do it! This flexibility ensures that your gift fits perfectly into their schedule and preferences. If you’re curious as to how experience gifts work, it really is as simple as purchasing online and sharing a digital (or physical) copy with the lucky giftee. They’ll have over 9,000 experiences to choose from when they’re ready to redeem!

Gifts to boost wellbeing

Spark romance with these unique couples vouchers


Shared experiences make the heart grow fonder, and in the case of gifts for couples, an artisan workshop could be just what a pair needs to take time out and reconnect. Experience vouchers allow the couple to choose an activity they’ve always wanted to try together or something that will encourage them to give a new experience a crack!

For adventurous couples, they might opt for an invigorating night photography course in the city or a welding workshop for beginners. Those searching for romantic ways to celebrate an anniversary could opt for a private cooking class or wine tasting experience—in fact, an anniversary gift card can open up so many intimate and romantic possibilities!

If you’re feeling stuck, it’s best to always remember what couples activities the pair love to do together. If they’re dedicated plant parents, a terrarium or kokedama class might be the pick that’s most meaningful for them. Or if they’re passionate gin lovers, a gin blending masterclass may be the best environment for them to reconnect and make new memories.
