Introduction to Jewellery Making Class
This was a birthday present to my niece who loves to make bead bracelets and I've always wanted to learn how to make jewellery. The teacher was very helpful and really wanted us to learn to be able to replicate the process on our own but was very helpful and ended up doing some of our components. There was a lot of choice of materials and good quality. We made a bracelet and earrings. Even though + more

Introductory Glassblowing Workshop
I am a bit of a fan of the tv show Blown Away - so for Christmas my husband purchased us this class as a gift. What a gift it was. Our teacher Nick was knowledgeable, friendly and would assist when needed. All of the materials and equipment were included. I truly enjoyed choosing my colours and challenging myself with new skills. We’re already talking about our next class!

American Smoking BBQ Cooking Class
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

Experience Gifts and Ideas
Find fun gift experiences near you in 2024
It’s never been easier to embrace the art of gifting experiences instead of material possessions than in 2024! That’s because there are so many hidden gems and things to do near you that are so much better than receiving a physical gift.
For the Sydnersiders, head to the city’s Inner West area and discover a creative studio where you can try glassblowing upstairs with artist Mark Elliot and downstairs give woodworking a go under the guidance of the amazing team from Among The Trees. If you’re on the Lower North Shore, you’re in the perfect spot for trying pottery, with funky studios like Klaypots and Silky Shapes in Crows Nest, Print Paint Pot in Artarmon and Crockd in Neutral Bay. Each offers beginner-friendly pottery classes and courses in both clay hand building and wheel throwing.
If you’re in the sunshine state and around Brisbane, you can’t go past one of Vanilla Zulu’s unmissable cooking classes in Teneriffe. From healthy Japanese dishes to authentic Italian favourites, you’ll learn how to whip up some of the tastiest food you’ve eaten. Down south on the Gold Coast, have fun with paint and sip at The Sweet Fine Artist Studio in Mermaid Beach.
Melburnians can unwind while making a one-of-a-kind Turkish mosaic lamp at Art Masterclass on Elizabeth Street in the CBD, before trying their hand at a barista course just a short walk away with Barista Course Melbourne.
No matter where you or your gift recipient is, you’re guaranteed to find a plethora of creative workshops in your neighbourhood that you can try together. Alternatively, gift your loved one a solo adventure in their local area—it sure makes for thoughtful present ideas. And if you can’t find what you’re looking for in person, one of our interactive live online classes and DIY craft kits will bring that same magic to their home!

Spark creative joy for the man or woman in your life with our art, craft and culinary-related activities across Australia! Our craft classes are designed for beginners so you don’t need to worry about having any prior knowledge, but most of all, our classes are all about having fun and finding a new hobby. If your loved one has always wanted to learn how to make cocktails, improve their cooking skills, or learn how to make pottery, let us help you choose the perfect gift.
Looking for experience birthday gifts?

They’ll be able to impress friends and family with their newfound BBQ cooking skills and teach everyone the tips and tricks they’ve learned. Our cocktail making classes are also really popular gifts for men (and women) too. You can choose to either learn how to make cocktails in person or through our popular online classes. While many people save cocktails for a special occasion, your loved one will learn so many tips and tricks for making their favourite cocktails.
Searching for unique gift ideas for women? If she's a bling lover, our DIY silversmithing classes are the perfect gift for her as she'll learn how to make her own jewellery, something she'll be able to cherish forever and maybe become a new passion. Our pottery classes and soy candle making classes are also really popular choices for crafty ladies looking to find a new and inspiring hobby!
Why experience vouchers are better than gifts
Experience vouchers beat traditional gifts in several ways—let us enlighten you! Digital gift cards prioritise the creation of cherished memories over material possessions, offering recipients the gift of lasting moments and special memories. Plus, these experiences can be tailored to suit the individual's interests, showcasing a personal touch that demonstrates thoughtfulness.
To go a step further, they also contribute to a greener world by reducing carbon emissions (no shipping needed!) and clutter (say goodbye to a cupboard full of unopened gifts). Our unique experience gifts in Australia are the perfect opportunity for bonding with loved ones, with each of our hands-on workshops designed for shared participation, fostering connections and enjoying quality time. They also come with scheduling flexibility, allowing your gift recipient to choose when and where they'd like to partake.
These unique and thoughtful gifts in 2024 express your love and appreciation of your favourite people, in a super fun and accessible way. In a world focused on sustainability and meaningful experiences, these experience gift vouchers shine as a more meaningful and eco-friendly way to express your love!
It's our mission to bring out your creative side, help you unwind and relax, and even find a new hobby or passion. Whether it's fluid art, knitting or painting, more and more people are taking up creative hobbies because of the many well-being benefits they provide. When you take time out of daily life to do the things you truly love, you’ll feel more fulfilled, relaxed and connected to yourself. This is why we believe that the best present ideas aren't material things but cool experiences that will stick with you (and your favourite person) for life! Not convinced? Check out our huge range of experiences to give as cute gift ideas and see for yourself.
