Peony Flower Arranging Class for Beginners
My friend and I throughly enjoyed the Peony Rose class. This was my a gift to her for her 70th birthday. The Peonies are beautiful. Jemina is a great teacher, she explained a lot about flower arranging and how to keep the flowers looking fabulous for as long as possible. We will be back to participate in another class. Thanks Jemina for a lovely afternoon. Faye and Helen

Perfume Making Workshop for Beginners
Booked this as my cousin's birthday present and it was totally worth it. The studio was clean, organized, calm, and looked aesthetically pleasing. I was a bit worried before booking since English is not our first language, but the teacher was very kind, explaining each step clearly. Overall 10/10, would recommend, and I'll definitely go back for other workshops

So cute!!!! My friend will love it! I will bring this as a Halloween gift for my friend! The instructor is so friendly and patient! Highly recommended!

My wife and I did this course together as a birthday gift for her. We both had a great time, the instructor was fantastic; she was enthusiastic and very informative. We both made lots of earrings (I made more) that look impressively professional despite us being total beginners. We loved it and have now bought more materials so we can keep doing this great hobby together.

I received a voucher for this glass as a Christmas gift from my BF. It was a great experience and our teacher, Nick, was the perfect guy for the job. It was a nice and relaxed environment and all the tools we needed were supplied. We made a paper weight AND also a tumbler which was a pleasant surprise. Thanks for giving us a great experience and day!!!

We had a lovely afternoon and enjoyed being guided through the pottery wheel process. The class was a great gift idea to do something with Mum for her birthday.
Meaghan Keogh
This class was given to me as a gift - I was very unsure what to expect but absolutely loved every minute of it. Hirotmi (please forgive me if my spelling is incorrect!) was so patient and helpful with me. She made sure that I understood every step very clearly before I began to work through it. I highly recommend this class to anyone - even if it is just to learn a bit about Japanese culture.

I absolutely LOVED my private Cricut class with Sez. I have had my Cricut Maker for a couple of years and haven't been confident in using it for much more than cards. My daughters gave me a mothers day gift voucher to do another ClassBento class (Terrarium) and I loved it so much.

Why Melbourne experiences make the best gifts
- Value what truly matters: The best thing about buying a Melbourne experience gift is that you’re placing value on living life over accumulating stuff. Instead of collecting things that may eventually gather dust, you're gifting someone the chance to try new experiences, learn new skills and explore fresh passions. Whether it’s pouring resin art, decorating a cake or making a custom fragrance, experience gifts are all about enjoyment and adventure.
- Make last-minute gifts special: Have you ever scrambled for the perfect last-minute gift? Well, the beauty of an experience is your present comes in the form of a workshop gift card. That’s an almost instantaneous delivery for digital gift cards, so there’s no more stressing about shipping times or wrapping paper!

In a world that’s always on the go, a Melbourne experience gift invites you to slow down and truly enjoy each other’s company while sharing laughs and making memories. Beyond having fun, you’ll also feel closer to each other. Plus, when you mix the mental health benefits of creative activities with the joy of catching up with loved ones, you and your giftee will leave feeling lighter, happier and more connected!
