Last-minute gifts for Mum…

Gifts for Mum

If Mum needs some self-care time, spoil her with a relaxing candle making class in Kensington Park! In this interactive class, she will be first welcomed with a glass of South Australian bubbles. 

Then it’s time to create her own signature scent with natural soy wax, essential oils and fragrances. Your mum can choose from 48 scents in their candle fragrance library so she will have the best time picking her favourite ones and blending them into a unique perfume. Plus, for an extra touch, she can even personalise her own candle label. 

Looking for birthday experience gifts for Mum? Here’s the perfect opportunity to treat her to a soothing experience, where she can melt and pour wax into her own scented candle, which she can use all year round. 

Last-minute Adelaide presents for Dad…

Gifts for Dad

If Dad loves plants and indoor gardening, why not take him to a unique terrarium making class in Port Noarlunga? Here, Dad will learn how to create his own living ecosystem with the help of local Adelaide experts.

He will be able to choose from a range of plants, soil, stones and decorations to build his own terrarium. Plus, he will also get a chance to learn how to take care of the terrarium long after the class. So you know you’re paying not just for the experience but a customised DIY terrarium for Dad as well. 

Perfect for green thumbs or anyone who wants to learn more about plant care, come along to one of our most popular Adelaide gift experiences and have some fun!

For your siblings…

Wheel throwing

Gift something special to your siblings in 2024 with a mindful wheel throwing class! They will immerse themselves into a whole new world of clay and learn how to make their own ceramic mugs using wheel throwing pottery techniques. 

Under the guidance of an experienced ceramicist, they will learn how to throw and center clay on the pottery wheel. Then they will move towards moulding and shaping the clay into anything they desire, from mugs to bowls to vases. 

After being fired, your siblings can bring home their own handcrafted pieces that are both unique and beautiful. So if you’re looking for the best Adelaide workshops, give them a wheel throwing experience that is bound to help them feel relaxed and rejuvenated. 

Last-minute couple gifts for your partner…

Does your partner love to craft? Then a tufting class at Polisu Art Studio in North Adelaide is the perfect last-minute experience for him or her. In this five hour workshop, your partner will learn how to make their own fabulous and colourful tufted rug with the help of a friendly instructor.

The fun part about tufting is that their rug is truly customised to them. Your favourite person can pick their favourite design, where they can draw freehand or trace the design onto the fabric. Then it’s time to start shooting some yarn across their canvas! Your teacher will guide them through the step-by-step process of punching the yarn into the fabric. 

People say tufting is like painting with yarn and we couldn’t agree more! Your loved ones will feel so relaxed and mesmerised transforming a simple ball of yarn into a special home decor piece. By the end, they get to take their rug home and admire it for years to come. 

For your nan…

Italian cooking

To make her day extra special, take your nan on a Italian food tour around the historic Adelaide Central Market. As a pair, you will be taken to some of the best food stalls, where you can sample some delicious local produce like cheese and wine. As you walk around, you can learn about the history and culture of this vibrant market and take in the pleasing sights and smells. 

After exploring all the stalls, treat her to a traditional Italian lunch with fresh pasta and buttery garlic bread. And if that wasn’t enough, you can also head to the local cake shop and choose a dessert to round off your meal. Whether you’re looking for last-minute Adelaide activities or Christmas experience vouchers, this market tour is sure to be an unforgettable experience! 

For your grandpa…

BBQ cooking

For the grandpa with a passion for cooking, we’ve found the ideal experience. Sign up to a BBQ cooking class in St Morris and treat Grandpa out to a fun day out with the family. In this hands-on class, he will learn how to master all the techniques of BBQ cooking from an expert chef. From prepping to searing and smoking the meat, he will get to learn the top tips and tricks to creating the perfect grill. 

If you’re looking for fun things to do in Adelaide this weekend, a summer BBQ is the best way for families to spend quality time together as everyone will be able to get involved. At the end of the class, they will be able to sit down and relax, tasting all the delicious creations they’ve made—of course, with a glass of ice cold beer in their hand! 

Lastly, for the kids…

If you’ve got little ones running around the house, keep your kids entertained with a smartphone photography class in Adelaide! This workshop is tailored for children aged eight years and above and it’s perfect to get them outside exploring their creative side. With a professional photographer, they will learn key techniques such as phone composition, control exposure and more.

Plus, these unique experience gifts will also teach them the basics of travel photography so kids can take stunning photos of landscapes, architectures and nature around town. They’ll also get a chance to receive individual feedback, which means they can grow in their knowledge and confidence with smartphone photography. Who knows, this may inspire your little ones to explore this new creative hobby!
