1. Pottery making activity gifts for her

Whether you’re looking for a gift for mum, a present for your friend or a birthday experience gift for another special lady in your life, add pottery classes to your list of options! 

Pottery making is increasingly popular across the UK and beyond, and for good reason - from soothing hand-building to adventurous wheel throwing, pottery courses are such a good gift for a range of occasions.

Treat the woman you’re buying for to a DIY pottery kit or a pottery course where she lives - with craft kits delivered to the door and pottery classes available across the UK, there are plenty of options. She can choose to make a mug, vase, or ornament and she’ll love seeing the results of her finished piece! 

Choosing pottery making as a gift experience for her will open up a world of creative possibilities for your recipient - she’ll have the chance to make her own handmade pottery, channelling all the clay-based vibes from The Great Pottery Throwdown and adding a load of new skills to her repertoire. 

Go along with her and enjoy some quality time together or treat her to a flexible pottery gift experience voucher where she can head along solo for some well-deserved downtime.

3. Gift experiences for her that are perfect for plant and flower-lovers 

Experience gifts are so fun to choose - add extra joy to the process by picking something you can enjoy with her, either as a pair or with other members of your friends and family.

For flower and plant-loving mums, a floristry workshop is a lovely option - choose from dried flower classes, seasonal wreath making workshops or fresh flower arranging. A floristry class is a really uplifting activity to enjoy together. Set in beautiful floristry shops across the nation, our floristry classes and flower arranging workshops usually begin with a refreshing cup of tea (maybe a cake or treat!), and a demo from your floristry tutor. You’ll then choose either fresh or dried flowers (or a mixture of both), and will start to put together your own floral arrangements. Find a floristry course near you here

Alternatively, go a little more left field and surprise her with a terrarium class. If you’re in the North West, pick one of our terrarium classes in Manchester. This DIY terrarium workshop in Sale gives you the chance to make your own fascinating tiny ecosystem with plants! Elsewhere in the UK? Find the perfect terrarium class here

4. Foodie experience presents for her

For foodie-loving mums, wine-loving wives and cooking-mad mates, cooking classes, wine-tasting experiences, baking workshops and cake decorating courses always go down well! 

Choose one of these as an experience gift for her, go along with her and get stuck into some making and tasting together! Learning to cook something new is extra fun with a loved one by your side, and once you’ve mastered the art of the recipe you’re working on, you’ll be able to sit down together and enjoy what you’ve made in each other’s company. 

With vegan cooking classes in London, Mexican cooking classes in Manchester, Indian cooking classes in Birmingham and a host of other tasty options in between, you’ll be spoilt for choice with your foodie gift voucher!

6. Cocktail making gifts for her

Got a woman to buy a gift for who loves her cocktails? Treat her to one of our UK cocktail making classes! From minty mojitos and cool cosmos to warming whisky mixes and punchy espresso martinis, our DIY cocktail classes are as delicious as they are fun! 

At a cocktail making class, you’re shown how to make cocktails by a professional mixologist - you can choose to enjoy a private party, one of our cocktail making classes for two, or a group class filled with other mixology newbies. You’ll watch demonstrations, enjoy some snacks and drinks whilst you’re learning and then create your own cocktails and sit back to sample them! 

Held at fun and friendly bars around the UK, treating someone to a cocktail party as a gift experience is a great way to surprise them and ensure they enjoy their special occasion!
