Ruth Olney
This was a birthday gift from some friends. I loved it. It was a sip and paint class where we painted the Northern Lights. The teacher was brilliant, so patient and kind and gave clear instruction. Materials were spot on and the venue was really good. The time flew by. Was great to connect to some creativity in a warm and friendly environment.

Clear directions to location. Teacher was friendly, enthusiatic, put you at ease from the get go, and willing to answer all questions throughout the workshop. The materials provided were of great quality, with clear instructions of how to use them along the way. A great introduction to Kintsugi, ideal as a single/couple/group or as a gift for someone looking for craft ideas

The dim sum making class was given to me as a birthday gift and wow, we had the best evening! Will was amazing from start to finish- he made us feel so welcome (and made us laugh throughout). He was really encouraging and, goes without saying, beyond knowledgable. The 3 different types of dim sum we made were so fun to make (and tasted delicious, we loved eating them afterwards!) It’s such a nice + more

Parents and Kids' Doughnut Making Class
I got to go with my friend to this course as a birthday present from January so I was really excited and counting down to the day! It was just as amazing as I was expecting and as a baker anyway, I was keen to expand my skills. The teacher (Scott) was very knowledgeable and also good at making sure everybody was able to participate fully. My thanks to the team, such a great present.
Seema Chopra
I bought the introduction to table top making course as a gift for my partners birthday. Dan was really informative, thorough, knowledgeable and funny! The venue was fantastic, a lovely studio set on the Thames, with lots of light and really tidy and inspiring. The equipment was in good condition and we had access to so many tools. We mainly used the router, sander and circular saw. We were taught + more
Maisie Wood
Pottery Making Taster Workshop
I came with a friend as a birthday present and it was so much fun! All our pots turned out great and the teachers were so helpful and made sure we came away happy with what we’d made. I also think it’s great value for money so I would definitely come again!
King Enekeme
This experience was more than expected. A fantastic time was had. Louise has a gift not only in poetry making but also in her approach to teaching such a delicate skill to newbies. We enjoyed this so much the time went so fast. Will definitely be going back.
Dr May Myanmar
Excellent gift idea if wanting to do something more creative! Really enjoyed the class where we made mosaic mirrors. I only wish we had time to have some of the snacks as we were too focused on trying to finish the pieces. Depending on the idea for your mosaic piece you should factor in time for executing it as I think a few of us were focused alot of detail and trying to make our pieced look great + more

Beginners' Epoxy Resin Workshop
The beginner Epoxy Resin course was great, all equipment provided, very knowledgeable instructors who were able to provide all the advice needed. Would thoroughly recommend as either a gift or for those wishing to try something new.
Bernie McAleer
Beam was absolutely brilliant, she made the class fun and light hearted. We booked this as a surprise birthday present and the birthday girl loved it. Highly recommend.
Fran Crouch
Pastel De Nata Baking Workshop
This was a gift from a friend who loves Pastel de nata! It was a brilliant workshop - pleasant, well organised surroundings, calm, positive vibes and a warm, friendly teacher who was genuinely interested in her clients and also all aspects of cooking. Each stage of the recipe was clearly demonstrated with lots of helpful tips and explanations. Really, really enjoyable and we came away confident we + more

Heart-shaped Flower Arrangement Class
This was a valentine's gift to my girlfriend and we both had a great time, the arrangement turned out beautiful and Malina was so friendly and hospitable!
Ellie Joy Knight
I bought this class as a present for my mum and Grandma for Christmas. The voucher was really easy to redeem and the class was really easy to book. The teacher was lovely and really informative. Venue was easy to find and parking was close by. I thought the class was good value for money and everything you needed was provided.

Silver Earring Making Workshop
Such a brilliant day with Charlotte! I bought the earring workshop for two people as a gift and we both already had ideas on what we wanted to make. Charlotte was so knowledgeable and happy to try new and different ideas so our visions were happily fulfilled. Really fun day, I’ll be recommending the workshop to everyone!
Julia Bridgwater
Ikebana Flower Arranging Workshop
A really enjoyable afternoon with Nono. Unbelievably hard to do a simple flower arrangement but with her guidance managed to produce something passable with her beautiful flowers! A wonderful teacher who has shed light on the art of Ikebana and a great birthday present for me.
Christelle Lafille
Silver Jewellery Casting Workshop
The course was a Christmas present from my girlfriend. Hands-on experience, all the materials were provided, the teacher was great and very patient, basically learnt to cast silver and came home with a couple of my own creations!
Julia Anne Graham
Silver Sea Glass Ring Making Class
I received a sea glass ring making class as a Christmas gift and spent a most enjoyable day engaged in this. Our tutor Sarah was very professional and knowledgeable and went out of her way to ensure that each participant got the best experience possible. She was particularly encouraging when I struggled with some of the processes and I left with my very own sea glass ring at the end of the day.
Keran Li
Luxury Vegan Candle Making Workshop
Marina was very welcoming and friendly. She was clearly knowledgeable about aromatherapy and was very patient with everyone’s questions. We all had a great time. Can’t wait to gift my candle!

That’s why we’ve made it our mission to make giving thoughtful, meaningful gifts for him and her easy and fun. With our gift experience vouchers, you’ll be able to give the lucky birthday boy or girl a wide choice of unique in-person workshops, virtual experiences, and DIY kits. So, instead of worrying whether they’ll like it or not, you can focus on the good stuff - putting a smile on their face on their special day. Wherever they are in the UK, they’ll have access to DIY crafts classes, cooking classes online and even disco yoga classes from local teachers and artisans. Now that’s a special birthday gift! So, whether you think they’ll enjoy getting creative with a paint and sip kit or crafty with a soap making class or even mixing things up with some cocktail making at home - they’ll love receiving the opportunity to choose a unique experience to unwind, de-stress and experiment with a new hobby. This is why we think our gift experience vouchers make for thoughtful and unique gifts. Gift them the chance to try something new, explore a new hobby and get creative - something even more exciting than a material object.
Unique birthday gifts
If you’re looking for unique birthday present ideas, we have plenty of wonderful options to spark your imagination. If you’re on the hunt for birthday experience gifts for him, we have lots of unique gifts to explore. If he’s a foodie with a love for the outdoors, why not try a BBQ cooking class online? If he’s an amateur artist who lacks the tools, why not treat him to an art kit, or if he’s a laid-back artiste who enjoys a glass of wine, a sip and paint kit?
When it comes to birthday experiences for her, we’ve got you covered there too! For a lady who needs a little calm and stillness in her life, our meditation courses online (from tai chi, online yoga classes to mindfulness courses that involve sipping on tea) are the perfect gift for her. For the woman who likes her DIY projects, why not treat her to some invigorating DIY home decor crafting, such as a pottery at home class, or a spot of jewellery making?
Our birthday gift experiences are made with uniqueness in mind so when it comes to finding gifts for him and her that are different and unlike anything they’ve ever received before, we've got you covered! Why not treat your special someone to a new and exciting experience this year?
Unforgettable birthday present ideas
If you want to give your favourite person a birthday present that is truly unforgettable, we say swap the material gifts for experience gifts! Whether they’re creating memories by cooking up a storm with a cooking class online led by an expert chef or by learning how to make soap with an artisan organic soap maker - with an experience as a gift, they’ll make lasting memories that will warm their hearts for years to come. Not only that but by giving a birthday gift experience, you could be giving them the gift of a new skill, passion or hobby - a gift that just keeps on giving. When it comes to unforgettable birthday present ideas, we think our selection of gift experiences has the potential for creating not just lifelong memories but also inspiring a new love of all things creative and crafty.
When it comes to birthday gifts for mum, your gift could help her find her love of flower arranging or ignite her interest in candle making. It could help her to fill those evenings when she’s looking for fun things to do at home, with a hobby she really loves. Our public classes could even help her to meet new friends or a community of like-minded others. When you give an experience as a gift, the possibilities are endless and the memories, unforgettable.
