The best Christmas things to do in London stray off the beaten track – there are only so many times you can invite your loved ones to Winter Wonderland! That's why we adore DIY wreath making workshops. In a welcoming studio, participants will practise weaving and wiring a festive garland jam-packed with fragrant materials.

This Christmas wreath making class is slightly different from the rest because it only uses pretty preserved flowers, meaning it'll look gorgeous for a lifetime. The friendly teacher encourages self-expression and experimentation to create a dried flower arrangement bursting with yuletide magic. Best of all, the heady workshop scents are a wonderful antidote to holiday stress – there's nothing more soothing than the aromas of cinnamon, pine and mulled wine. Bliss!

Fancy something a bit wackier? Try flower arranging with a twist in a eucalyptus gold hoop Christmas wreath making workshop. Students combine a simple metallic design with bunches of mint, honey and citrus scented eucalyptus. The finished masterpiece promises to look fabulous adorning front doors or gracing living room walls.

There's nothing better than fresh, organic meals that leave people glowing from the inside out!

Introduce them to the art of Ikebana flower arranging

If your treasured person deserves some me-time, introduce them to the ancient Japanese art of Ikebana in this ikebana flower arranging workshop. The tranquil craft dates back to the sixth century when Buddhist monks left floral offerings at altars. Nowadays, while not necessarily religious, there's a lingering spirituality in this wonderfully meditative style of flower arranging.

Ikebana floristry classes encourage conscious creativity, distracting students from everyday worries and to-dos. Every delicate bloom and winding stem has its place, and the minimalist design embodies a clean mind free from anxiety and stress. It's the perfect opportunity for people to switch off their phones and lose themselves in a worthwhile imaginative pursuit. Whether they've been burning the candle at both ends, working extra hard or they're ground down from the daily grind, a nature-packed activity day in the city will definitely soothe troubled minds. They'll be able to switch off, focus on the flowers and foliage, inhale the scent of greenery and relax!

Know a loved-up duo who could do with some time away from the kids? Couple experience days in London are always more magical with Ikebana! Learning a new craft together is a great way to nurture a relationship, especially when busy schedules seem to always get in the way.

Treat them to adorable tiny terrariums

Plant mums with green thumbs and dads who love to get down in the dirt will appreciate this terrarium making workshop – London experience gifts don't get much more adorable than this! Walking into the eco-friendly setting is a far cry from the concrete jungle outside. Students will be greeted by a wealth of earthy materials like soil, miniature succulents and moss. Over a few relaxing hours, they'll assemble a living microcosm to care for at home.

Similarly, this mini terrarium workshop is an unparalleled chance to reconnect with Mother Nature. A helpful instructor will teach keen horticulturalists how to form self-sustaining ecosystems inside beautiful jars. The best thing about terrariums is that they're low maintenance for lazy gardeners – they’ll never have to worry about watering again!

Blend flower arranging with pottery making for an unforgettable day out

If you want to find experience vouchers in London that combine the best of both worlds, look no further than this innovative flower arranging and clay torso sculpture class. Alongside playing with the brightest blooms and most exquisite embellishments, students will tackle their very own sculpture as the pièce de résistance!

There are no bog-standard plant pots or vases in this one-of-a-kind flower arranging workshop. Instead, dried flower arrangements sit neatly inside contemporary clay torsos – the chic concept is very on-trend. As well as leaving with a stunning centrepiece, students will feel renewed after immersing themself in the soothing process of pottery making.
