Robbie Troth, one of our Business Development Managers tried his hand at neopolitan pizza making and rated it pretty highly, saying:

We had such an amazing time in this class! The teachers were incredibly friendly, fun, and informative; they started by talking us through the history of pizza and how they got started in the business. We had plenty of drinks and food whilst taking turns in pairs to make our pizzas, from shaping the dough, adding toppings, and cooking in the pizza oven. The best part was eating it afterward, which felt all the better knowing you had made it yourself. I would 100% recommend this class to everyone and if I lived in Newcastle I would be taking part regularly. They also cater to veggies/vegans with so many options. Get it booked!

2. Sip and paint your way to a deeper connection

If you both love getting creative, a gift card for a drink and draw night is right up your alley! It's a super fun way to spend Valentine's Day with your special someone – a night of painting and sipping wine together. Sounds like a blast, doesn't it?

Pick up a paintbrush and paint a portrait of your love at this perfect caricature painting class in London or get your groove on at this London paint party complete with a live DJ! By the end of this romantic event, you will have plenty of cherished memories and personal artworks to hang on the wall.

3. Looking for gifts for two? Pottery classes will ignite their passion!

Ever thought about trying something super romantic with your partner? How about getting a little messy together? Our pottery classes for couples are perfect for that! It's a great way to spend some intimate time with your partner while having fun and getting creative with ceramics.

Using a pottery gift voucher, you can recreate that one scene from Ghost at a couples wheel throwing workshop in Birmingham or enjoy some BYOB wheel throwing and come away with a new mug, plate or bowl to put on your shelves. When you give a pottery experience as a gift, you are also giving a break from the daily grind. It’s the perfect hands-on and rewarding activity for stressed-out couples!

Gemma Nolan, our Head of Customer Service and Account Management (and lifelong craft maven!) tried out the ceramics workshop from Token Studio – and thinks you should too:

Really great introduction to throwing on the wheel, which I've never done before! There were quite a lot of us in the class and the teacher was great at trying to help everyone.
Loved the quirky venue and really enjoyed trying something a bit different.

4. A couple’s baking course will help you say 'I loaf you'

We all know the fastest way to someone’s heart is through their stomach! Fall in love with each other and the art of making bread or delicious cookies as you pick up some baking skills with local pastry chefs.

A mosaic class will let them design their own meaningful work of art – alternatively, head off to the workshop yourself and craft a handmade present that they can treasure forever!

7. DIY candle making will keep the flame alive

Niall Palmer, one of our Growth Partners, spent an evening getting creative with wax at an aromatherapy candle making class, and had a great time. He said:

Our group had a wonderful time! Lizzy's great at explaining how you build a scent in a candle and then gives you plenty of time to have a smell around all the different essential oils to create the scent you like. There's enough knowledge nuggets to take away to make the class worth it if you're looking to get into candle making as a hobby, but is also just good fun and a lovely way to spend a couple of hours being creative around others.

8. A floristry workshop will let love blossom

How about getting hands-on with some beautiful blooms together? Creating a floral arrangement as a team is a great date night idea; you'll be able to dive into a bunch of fresh, fragrant flowers and feel the love blooming in the air. Not only will you get to enjoy the wonders of floral design, but you'll also get to express your affection through colourful, vibrant blossoms. Plus, it's a great way to add a touch of brightness and warmth to your home. It's a delightful experience that'll surely bring you even closer together!

When you join a floristry workshop as a couple, you're investing in quality time that's totally distraction-free. You’ll be guided by a local expert who will teach you stunning techniques, from mastering the spiral stem arrangement to understanding colour theory. Whether you choose to create matching bouquets or one spectacular centrepiece together, the shared focus and gentle pace of the class is wonderfully bonding. It’s a beautifully mindful way to spend a few hours, guaranteeing that you'll leave feeling creatively refreshed, totally connected, and with a gorgeous arrangement to brighten your home for the week ahead!

9. A chocolate making class will sweeten up date night

Instead of buying your favourite person a box of chocolates, give them the chance to make their own from scratch with a chocolate making class in London. Led by a professional chef, you'll be able to melt, temper and pour your way to success together, and will leave with some sweet treats to enjoy at home. It's the perfect choice if you're looking for romantic gifts for couples!

Best of all, you both get to take home a huge haul of your handmade truffles or bars – extending that sweet date night feeling for days to come!

Make the most of those romantic gift ideas for two

Ready to turn that thoughtful voucher into an unforgettable romantic adventure? Here’s how to maximise the fun and connection of your shared experience:

• Ditch the phones entirely: Commit to leaving your devices tucked away! This ensures you are fully present, connecting with your partner, and focusing on the shared creative moment without any distraction.

• Coordinate the reveal: Don't tell your partner where you're going until you arrive! The element of surprise – whether it’s a chocolate class or a pottery session – adds an extra layer of spontaneous excitement and romance.

• Embrace the mess (and the laughs!): Choose a hands-on activity like pottery or painting where things might get hilariously messy. Laughter over mishaps is fantastic for bonding and creates truly unique, funny memories.

• Plan the 'Before and After': Elevate the gift into a full date! Start with a cosy coffee or themed cocktail nearby, and finish the evening with dinner to discuss your new skills and proudly show off your creations.

• Make it intentional: While you're creating, talk about your partner's piece! Compliment their techniques, ask about their design choices, and show genuine interest in their creative process – it's a beautiful way to connect.
