Beeswax Candle Making Class

I was given the beeswax candle making class as a gift. The instructor was absolutely lovely and very easy to follow. She has an excellent set up in East Maitland and supplied all the materials.

Jamie Thomson

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

A great class for beginners and an amazing gift idea for a loved one! I took my fiancé to the wheel spinning class, it was so fun and even better that we get to keep our creations! Mahlea was a great teacher, thank you so much!

The cooking class was a birthday present for my husband. He loved it very much. We both learnt new techniques how to peel prawns and how to cook snapper on bbq. The squid salad was also amazing. Loved the spices which were added. We bought some too for our use at home.

With our experience gift cards, the opportunities for creativity and imagination are endless. Print your own designs at a screen printing class in Sydney, make masterful mosaics in Melbourne, head to a cute inner-city studio and learn the techniques of silversmithing in Brisbane, or take a kokedama workshop and bind your own hanging plant pal in Perth. Whether you’re in need of gift ideas for mum, experience vouchers for your bestie or a meaningful gift card for him, there are hundreds of options all across Australia.

If you’re searching for Christmas experiences for him but the usual gift cards in Sydney don’t seem like the right fit, a cooking class gift for a creative-led experience might be the perfect option! Grill kings will love seafood BBQ cooking classes, while DIY dads will love our glassblowing workshops. Looking for something a bit different? Treat him to one of our abstract painting classes or maybe even a meditative pottery class voucher.

Make 2024 the year you inspire your loved ones to try something completely different and maybe even discover a new passion!

The best part? With a ClassBento gift voucher, you’ll not only be giving a unique, local experience but you’ll also be gifting the chance to learn something new and walk away with an amazing handmade present. From DIY resin cheeseboards to eye-catching ceramic bowls, you’re giving someone the opportunity to craft their own personal gift as well! These truly make for one-of-a-kind gift cards for men and women.

Experience gift cards can boost wellbeing

If you’ve ever wondered what the benefits are of gifting experiences over traditional gifts, we’re here to help shed some light. Experience gift cards are so much more than just the excitement of trying something new or learning a skill. They're also incredibly beneficial for your wellbeing! Research has shown that engaging in creative activities can help reduce stress, promote positivity and boost mental health. So, when you gift an experience voucher, you're essentially gifting joy, relaxation and a much-needed break from the daily grind!

Picture your loved one immersing themselves in a painting class, letting their worries melt away as they focus on their canvas and colours. Or imagine them laughing with friends at a pottery workshop as they shape clay into funky pots and vases. These moments of joy and relaxation are priceless, and a pretty cool perk to our digital gift cards.

And it's not just about individual enjoyment either. Group experiences can help connect friends, family members and even colleagues too. Whether it's a team building cooking class or a group painting session, shared experiences create lasting memories that go well beyond a physical gift.

Spark romance with these unique couples vouchers

Shared experiences make the heart grow fonder, and in the case of gifts for couples, an artisan workshop could be just what a pair needs to take time out and reconnect. Experience vouchers allow the couple to choose an activity they’ve always wanted to try together or something that will encourage them to give a new experience a crack!

For adventurous couples, they might opt for an invigorating night photography course in the city or a welding workshop for beginners. Those searching for romantic ways to celebrate an anniversary could opt for a private cooking class or wine tasting experience—in fact, an anniversary gift card can open up so many intimate and romantic possibilities!

If you’re feeling stuck, it’s best to always remember what couples activities the pair love to do together. If they’re dedicated plant parents, a terrarium or kokedama class might be the pick that’s most meaningful for them. Or if they’re passionate gin lovers, a gin blending masterclass may be the best environment for them to reconnect and make new memories.

Drool-worthy cooking gift cards for foodies

For those who savour new flavours and love the kitchen, our vouchers for foodies are the ultimate treat. Whether it’s a cooking class gift card or a wine tasting experience, these foodie gifts inspire a deliciously hands-on adventure. Imagine your loved one mastering pasta making, perfecting their sushi rolling skills or blending spices in an Indian cooking class led by local chefs. Cooking gifts let them dive into culinary techniques, explore world cuisines and expand their palates, making them the perfect choice for anyone who finds the ultimate joy in food.

If you’re on the hunt for foodie gifts for couples, our experience vouchers offer them a chance to bond over a shared love of food. From cheese and wine pairing nights to hands-on cooking experiences, these gift experiences create moments to savour together. Not only do they get to learn from experts, but they also leave with newfound skills and plenty of fond memories to cherish!
