Dorothy Zammit




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 received this class as a gift voucher from my friend for my birthday/house warming present! It was interactive, fun and received a lot of one on one time with the teacher for help and assistance. Highly recommend!

Painting class review by Sara Chalhoub - Newcastle


Jamie Thomson




What an incredible experience. I've always been so intrigued with cooking and specifically American low and slow style barbecue, but have never really known where to start. This gift gave me the push to get going, and the way it was explained during the class simplified the steps. The teachers were informative and charismatic, making it insightful and fun. A beer in arrival, bbq lunch at the end, and  + more

A great class for beginners and an amazing gift idea for a loved one! I took my fiancé to the wheel spinning class, it was so fun and even better that we get to keep our creations! Mahlea was a great teacher, thank you so much!

Asha Lunarzewski




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.

My husband received a gift voucher for this course and I decided to join him. We had a fabulous morning cooking amazing food and the chefs were very entertaining (Ted and Greg with the assistance of Kristine). We had such a great time, I have now purchased another gift voucher for self to return and do American smoking. Would certainly recommend this as a gift for a loved one who already has everything, or something different to do with your spouse.

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.

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.

Creative ideas to present a gift card in a thoughtful way


While a gift card might seem simple, there are plenty of creative ways to make it a thoughtful and memorable present! One fun idea is to create a treasure hunt. Leave a series of cute clues around the house or leading to special places you’ve shared together, with the final clue revealing their digital gift voucher. It’s a playful way to build excitement and add a personal touch.

Another idea is to surprise them by hiding the gift card somewhere unexpected. Slip it into their favourite book, place it in their bag or hide it somewhere they’ll stumble across it as a delightful surprise. You could even keep the experience a secret by simply telling them where to be and when, and watch their face light up when they discover their surprise activity!

For a more intimate option, take them out to dinner and place the birthday gift voucher under their chair or tuck it inside a menu for them to find. It’s a thoughtful way to make the experience even more special. With a little creativity, your great gift card can become an unforgettable moment that’s just as meaningful as the experience itself!
