Best Online Gifts to Share with Family This Christmas

Searching for the best online gifts to share with the family this Christmas, we can help you! Whether travelling far isn't on the cards, or you just want a small Christmas this year, you may be missing out on some quality family time. You can still have an amazing virtual Christmas with our amazing virtual classes with craft kits, allowing you to chat, create, and catch up with your loved ones, without ever leaving your front door!

We all love the build-up to the festive season. When you’re all wrapped up to go Christmas shopping, the art of finding the perfect gifts whilst there’s an amazing atmosphere in the air is an experience in itself. You’ve heard the same Christmas music in the shops for the last couple of months, but you know it’s all part of it. The Christmas lights around town are sparkling, and when you stop off in the pub for a break from shopping for a warming mulled wine, there’s an excitement in the air you won’t find at any other time of the year. There’s just something amazing about Christmas in the UK which is hard to beat. But, what do you do when you’re spending Christmas away from your family?

It doesn’t have to be all doom and gloom when spending more time away from loved ones at Christmas. Even if you're spending it alone, or you just can't make it in person, you can still spend quality time together with our best online experience gifts to share with the family this Christmas. 

The key to having a successful Christmas from afar is by getting a bit more creative. When you can’t do your usual Christmas traditions this year, step out of your comfort zone and try new traditions, so you can make some long-lasting memories. 

Here are some Christmas DIY gifts which you can share as a family. They are not only fantastic indoors activities ideas, but you can also use these online Christmas gifts when you’re looking for things to do on rainy days in England too. 

Bring the family together with an online cooking class

We all love to eat as much as humanly possible during Christmas time and it shouldn’t stop just because you’re spending Christmas a little differently this year. A great way to bring the family together is to do an online cooking class which will make a fantastic Christmas present for mum, grandad, and you! No need to be an experienced cooking expert as our virtual cooking classes are all about having fun and spending quality time together. 

With a variety of live streaming cooking classes to choose from, it doesn’t only make it a fantastic unusual Christmas gift idea, it’s something your whole family can take part in. Cooking classes are also a great way to improve your physical and mental health, plus they will save you in the long run. When you know what ingredients you’re eating, you’re more inclined to make better food choices when eating out. Whilst cooking requires a level of attention and time management skills, it keeps your brain active and focussed, which ultimately improves your mood and happiness. And, it’s a fantastic way to bring the family together to create a restaurant-worthy meal you can feel proud of, and eat together at the end of the class. It’s basically a win all around! 

Wondering how an online cooking class works? Fear not! We’ll send you a Christmas gift box which will include our DIY cooking kit so you won’t need to source any ingredients to take part in the class. You’ll then just need to connect via Zoom where you’ll find our local British cooking teacher ready to teach you how to whip up an amazing meal. Because it’s an online class, various members of your family can log in and join in on the class, like you’re all together in the same room!

Learn how to make cocktails at home

When the kids have gone to bed, bring the family together with a virtual cocktail making class. You still need to have some fun around Christmas time and a workshop experience gift card exploring different delicious drinks could be just the trick. 

If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to make easy cocktails at home, or you miss sharing the festival celebrations in the pub with your loved ones, by joining a virtual cocktail making class, you’ll be able to still get into the Christmas spirit. All you need to do is choose which cocktail making class you’d like to join, and we’ll do the rest. 

You don’t need to purchase any ingredients, we’ll simply send you a gorgeous craft box that will include your DIY cocktail making kit, so you can get your little cocktail bar set up before the class starts. You can also choose between doing a cocktail making class with other like-minded people around the country, or opt for a private class for just your family, with the mixologist online to show you how to create some amazing cocktails!

Learn Christmas wreath making at home 

If you’d prefer to find Christmas gift experiences that are totally Christmas related, then you can’t go wrong with an online Christmas wreath making class. As you’ll be using dried flowers, this means you can add your wreath to your Christmas decorations to use for the following years ahead. Christmas decorations can be really sentimental for many people as they bring out beautiful memories of some of the happiest times in people’s lives. When making a Christmas wreath with your family, you’ll be creating new memories together to add to your collection.

Our online Christmas wreath kits are so popular because you can bring members of your family together who might not be in the same house, town or city together. Simply book one of our virtual Christmas wreath workshops and we’ll do the rest. We’ll then send you one of our lovingly made craft boxes which will include your Christmas wreath kit so you’ll have all of the tools and materials like you would if you were to join the class in person. When your family all log into Zoom, you’ll be able to see each other and there will be a local British florist ready to teach you how to make a beautiful Christmas wreath for your home.
