We offer plenty of art and craft experiences where you both can work together on creating something beautiful while getting to know each other better.
To keep it classic and timeless, consider a flower arrangement or chocolate making class and learn how to make these handmade gifts for a first date because who doesn’t love receiving flowers and chocolates on Valentine’s Day? Imagine creating a charming bouquet with your date, choosing from an array of vibrant blooms while learning about their unique meanings. Or how about making your own chocolates together? As the perfect symbol of indulgent love, you’ll learn how to temper chocolate and mould them into delicious bites to eat!

Fun date ideas for adventurous couples
If you are an adrenaline-chasing duo, then conventional Valentine's Day gifts just won't cut it! Instead, consider booking an experience that will get your hearts racing. Take your partner to a cocktail making class where both of you can learn how to mix classic drinks like a pro. Shake, stir and sip your way through the class and by the end, leave with full bellies and plenty of fun memories to look back on.
Don’t take our word for it! One of our ClassBento crafters Adam Blaynee went to a cocktail and dumpling class with his partner and loved it!
“A great evening and a fun way to spend Valentine's Day. Ethan who taught us how to make the cocktails was fun and casual. Made the group feel relaxed and gave us lots of laughs.”
Another fun activity to try is a glassblowing class—the perfect crafternoon date idea to do on V-Day! Here, couples can learn how to transform molten glass into beautiful works of art, like abstract paperweights or baubles.

Valentine's Day gifts for foodie couples
For couples who bond over good food, there's no better gift than one that caters to their shared passion. From cooking classes teaching cuisines from around the world to wine tasting experiences, there's a culinary experience for every taste preference.
For something romantic, we recommend an Italian pasta making class near you. Step inside a warm kitchen space and learn how to make handmade pasta from scratch. No need to worry if you’ve never done it before, you’ll be guided by lovely, experienced chefs who will take you through each step of the way.
Is your partner a sweet tooth? Take them to a cake decorating class and learn how to pipe buttercream and fondant and make delicious cakes to savour and indulge in. Who knows, you might end up leaving the class with your favourite hobby to do together!
Mindful date activities to help reconnect
In the hustle and bustle of daily life, couples often crave moments of calm and quietude. If that’s what you're looking for this Valentine's Day, consider a mindful activity that can help you rediscover the sparks and deepen your bond. A popular choice is pottery classes where you can have fun while shaping clay into beautiful pieces. This intimate experience allows you to collaborate, communicate and even playfully compete while creating something unique together. Plus, it's a great way to practice mindfulness as it requires focus and patience.
Another great Valentine’s gift for your wife or hubby is their painting classes. Whether you're both seasoned artists or complete beginners, painting together offers an opportunity to express your creativity and see each other in a new light. You get to have the space to unwind for a few hours, reconnect with your partner and truly spend quality time!
