Make her day special and treat her to these crafty Christmas gifts for Mum! If there’s anyone who needs some self-care time, it’s your mum who has shown countless care and love for you all your life. So this festive season, show how much you appreciate her by gifting three of our favourite experience gift ideas for women.
There’s no better time to show the people around you how much you care. Christmas 2024 is all about spending quality time with your loved ones, so instead of buying the same old gifts you buy for Mum every year why not get a Christmas gift for her that will make her feel truly special and spoiled–an experience gift you can enjoy together!
With everything from terrarium-making classes to wheel throwing workshops, we guarantee she'll be pleasantly surprised by whatever you choose! Our art classes and DIY art kits are designed to light a spark within, bring out Mum's creative side and give her the chance to relax and unwind.
Encourage Mum to take time out from the busyness of life with an experience gift that inspires her and makes space for mindful reflection. Whether she's interested in candle-making, gardening or croissant baking, she's sure to walk away from the experience feeling happier, more energised and more in tune with herself.
We want to make sure every Mum in Australia can join our beautiful art and craft classes, which is why we’re offering in-person and online art classes. If your mum lives interstate or even overseas, she’ll be able to join one of our classes and follow along with the DIY art kit we send to her door! We also have classes dotted all around regional Australia, so be sure to check out what's on near you!
Unsure of which crafty Christmas gifts for Mum will be best received? Let us help you by sharing some of our most popular Christmas gift ideas for Mum. And of course, if you want to take your present to the next level, it pays to head along to the workshop together so you can make some memories–and learn some incredible new skills, of course!
Learn how to make an incredible terrarium
Is your mum a bit of a green thumb? Maybe she enjoys watering the plants in the garden as a means of meditation? Take her love for gardening to the next level by gifting her a terrarium workshop! We’ve all wondered how to make a terrarium, but truth be told, it’s much easier than it looks. As long as you have the right tools and materials and an expert to guide you, you’ll learn how to make a terrarium in no time. Best of all, they don’t require much care and only need watering once or twice a month! Now that’s a thoughtful present for your plant-loving mum.
If you think your mum would enjoy a terrarium class in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, Canberra, Adelaide or the Gold Coast, then an in-person class would work brilliantly for her. Or if you think she’d prefer to do an online terrarium class from the comfort of her own home, we have a wide variety of virtual terrarium classes as well.
Don’t worry about having to source the materials for the class! We’ll send your mum a beautiful craft kit packed by our local Australian makers and teachers to be delivered straight to her front door. Inside the box, she’ll find a DIY terrarium kit, so all she’ll need to do is simply log on to Zoom and find her teacher ready to show her everything she needs to know in her own time.
A pottery class makes the perfect Christmas gift for mum!
Has your mum always wanted to learn how to make pottery? As one of our most popular art classes, it’s no wonder many Australians are eager to learn how to make pottery by hand. It’s not only a meditative art form that allows you to completely switch off, but there are loads of other benefits involved too.
When Christmas is over, she’ll be able to look forward to learning a brand new skill (and be able to update her kitchenware, make coffee mugs or make DIY gifts for her friends and family). As we’re all trying to be a bit more eco-conscious, there’s no better way to start than at home. When we incorporate more natural fibres and materials into our homes, we know it’s not only better for the planet but for our health as well. Plus getting a pottery class as a present for your mum ensures she gets to enjoy the gift of the experience itself and the bespoke creation she gets to take home.
Mum will learn how to make everything she desires from mugs, bowls, vases and even the art of kintsugi, an ancient Japanese art form that turns broken pottery into beautiful recycled ceramics. Imagine how proud she’ll feel when she’s mastered her pottery technique and starts making DIY Christmas gifts for friends and family!
She’ll also have the option of doing a pottery class in person, where she can learn the art of wheel throwing for beginners. Otherwise, she can happily do an online pottery class from the comfort of her own home or find a regional class. If she's joining via Zoom, we’ll send her a DIY pottery kit so she’ll have all of the tools and materials to take part, just as she would have been given if she attended in person.

Learn how to make candles
Learning how to make candles is as therapeutic as it looks. As we’re all looking for new ways to update our home, lighting candles can completely transform the atmosphere into a cosy and warm place. A candle-making class is the perfect Christmas present for your mum if she loves a bit of rest and relaxation. Just imagine the number of homemade candles she’ll be able to burn at home during the colder winter months!
Candles also make fantastic presents, so if your mum is stuck on ideas on what to buy relatives and friends, she can simply make them a DIY candle. Making DIY soy wax candles is much better for your health, as we only use soy wax that doesn't release any carcinogens and is 100 per cent natural! Plus, she’ll be able to choose whether to do a class in person or from the comfort of her own home! We’ll be able to send her a candle making kit so she can build her confidence in learning a new skill that will bring out her creative side!
Elevate cheese and wine nights by gifting your mum a resin cheeseboard class
For the Mum who considers a cheeseboard a complete meal we can’t think of a better experience gift than a resin art class that lets her decorate her own cheeseboard. She’ll love showing her girlfriends her bespoke cheeseboard on her next cheese and wine night and she’ll love spending time with you as you create your cheeseboards together.
Hand-decorated cheeseboards also make wonderful personalised gifts so it’s a wonderful talent to have in your arsenal for future gifting occasions be they birthdays, engagement presents, or Christmas.
When it comes to craft gifts for Mum this festive season, a resin art class is an experience that is sure to delight!
Take a break with your mum at a sewing class
There’s something incredibly therapeutic about sewing and knitting. Whether it’s the texture of the different materials, the mindful focus of working with the needle or the repetitive nature of stitching, a sewing and embroidery class really allows you to get in the zone.
This Christmas, gift your mum a sewing and embroidery class to enjoy a mini mental break together. Amidst the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, there’s nothing like taking a moment to visit a cosy crafty space, meditating over some sewing or knitting, and perhaps enjoying a spot of tea. The best part is you get to enjoy the experience with your mum, feel pleased knowing you’ve offered her a moment of respite during a busy time and you get to learn a new skill while you’re at it!
Or give her these unique experience gift vouchers
While these are just a couple of our best Christmas gifts for mum, you’ll find thousands of amazing gift ideas for women to help your mum reignite that spark from within. Give her the power with our experience gift vouchers, where she can choose from a wide range of crafty festive classes. From spicy mixology classes to relaxing macrame workshops, she is bound to find something that she would love to do. Who knows, she may even pick up a new hobby for the new year!
