Chantelle
I booked this class for me and my mum as birthday gift we both really enjoyed it - Malina explained everything really well and we left feeling super confident.
Madeleine
I booked this class as a present for myself and best friend to do, we had such a good time, the setting of the class was really pretty, there were cupcakes handed out which were delicious and we were luckily sat next to some lovely ladies that we chatted with for the evening. The spaces were tight but there was always someone passing by you could ask for a paint colour and they helped happily. The + more

It was brilliant such a lovely thing to do for mother’s day. There was only 4 of us which was great and as it felt you could ask questions to the teacher and felt very friendly. Definitely recommend great as a gift as well.

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.
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!

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.

Pottery Class - Throwing on the Wheel
We absolutely loved it! Birthday present for my boyfriend (his idea!) Not something I would have thought of but would recommend Dave & his patience to anyone in a heartbeat! Thank you for a great afternoon. Great value for money!

Classic Vegetarian Indian Cooking Class
This cooking course was a gift for my husband’s birthday, as he’s passionate about cooking. Steve made us feel very welcome into his home and he had a great set up for cooking. All the ingredients provided were fresh and of quality. We learnt lots of tips and tricks to get the best out of your curries and how we can alter them to make many more dishes at home. We also learnt about all the different + more

It was a lovely class, learned a lot and had a beautiful terrarium to take home. It was a Christmas present for my partner who really enjoyed the workshop.

Kintsugi Pottery Class for Beginners
Brandon is an amazing teacher and instructor! He created a very easy and comfortable atmosphere where everyone knew what they were doing and felt guided and secure. His sense of humour and relaxed but focused attitude definitely made this a one of a kind experience! It was a birthday present for a friend and she absolutely loved it!
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.
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.
Kiera Gould
Received this experience as a gift and wasn’t sure what to expect but it was great! Something really different, and very good value. We were provided with lots of drinks and snacks while we had a very clear demonstration of what we were making, and were able to take home two pots and a plant each. Highly recommended.
David Livens
Loved this, Joan the lady taking the class was so patient and good at what she does, I had 2 goes on the potters wheel 1st time ever. Joan centred the clay for me then let me have a play to get a 'feel' for how it works, this was great, the second time I made this pot on the wheel which I was amazed me totally. We also had a go at slab making pots with a few tools and I made 2 pots and a lid, loved + more
Eden Blakeman
We had Elena as our teacher and she was great - super nice and interactive. It was a guided painting class so we essentially watched her paint something step by step and copied, but she also gave us the artistic freedom to make changes. I did this with my brother as a present for him and it was really nice to spend time together painting!
Surya Tahir
I really enjoyed the lesson, I learned loads and was able to make a unique candle to show off to the family. All the materials were provided. The host was excellent, informative and helpful. The venue was brilliant: very centrally located. There is a cafe selling food and snacks, as well as a gift shop downstairs.

Christmas Wreath Making Workshop
Ewa is a great teacher and very friendly. She made us feel welcome and was very patient in answering all our questions. She offered tips to each one of us on how to make our wreaths turn out amazing. The venue was an adorable flower shop, very cosy and beautiful. There was Xmas music and a glass of bubbly or tea to add the festive touch. We all had fun and laughed together and it was a great experience. + more

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.

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?

Unforgettable birthday present ideas

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.
