What a nice experience it was to work with leather and create our own belt and glasses case under the supervision of Naoum! I got this class as a gift for my boyfriend's birthday, and he had the timeWhat a nice experience it was to work with leather and create our own belt and glasses case under the supervision of Naoum! I got this class as a gift for my boyfriend's birthday, and he had the time of his life creating the belt of his dreams - it has now become his favourite belt! Naoum was extremely helpful and accommodating even before the class. He was quick in answering emails, helping me prepare everything and find the right materials for decorating the belt. During the class, he was knowledgeable and passionate about his craft, and helped us create beautiful items that are not only gorgeous but also have a nice story behind. I'd recommend this class to anyone! + more

Excellent class, professionally delivered by Bruce. Extremely enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours doing something crafty, that you can gift to family and friends and use in your own home. Great selectionExcellent class, professionally delivered by Bruce. Extremely enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours doing something crafty, that you can gift to family and friends and use in your own home. Great selection of oils to work with. Great info on blending. Perfume aromas are subjective, so what one person might like another might not. My group shared our blends and found there were definitely some blends we all liked. Great that we were able to take away our candles and blending sticks. Love the ethics of this company, everything is reusable and sustainable. I will be booking another course very soon. Relaxed informal atmosphere. Lovely way to spend a Sunday morning. Highly recommended. + more

Booked this experience to gift my bf for his birthday and we absolutely loved everything about it. The shop is easy to locate, the interior is absolutely stunning and that doesn’t include how breathtakingBooked this experience to gift my bf for his birthday and we absolutely loved everything about it. The shop is easy to locate, the interior is absolutely stunning and that doesn’t include how breathtaking the plants are. Great coffee, vibes and just so much to explore inside. Oz was leading the workshop and he was informative, friendly, fun and everything else under the sun. I would 100% recommend this workshop! Its a great price, the selection of plants for our terrariums was really lovely and we enjoyed building our individual ecosystems. I can’t wait to return trying decide who to bring next and how many plants I am going to take back to south london + more

We chose our scentsI attended this class with my bestie. Was a really nice, relaxed, chill Sunday out. Angelica is professional, kind and welcoming. She was super organised and made everyone feel at ease. We chose our scents and made our candles and were encouraged to be creative with decorating them. The food was delicious and the rum punch complimented it all nicely. A really lovely relaxing, positive day out with a great group of sisters. Would make a great gift! + more
Unleash that festive spirit and make this yuletide the best one yet with our range of cracking Christmas gift experiences in Edinburgh! Sick of socks and fancy treating your dazzling date to an extra special Christmas present? Maybe you want to thank your marvellous Mum for all her hard work during the year and the same old perfume just won’t cut it? Whether you’re shopping for a budding baker who’d like to whip up some tasty treats, a promising Picasso keen on brushing up on their brushstrokes at a painting class or a magnificent mixologist who’d like to shake it until they make it at a cocktail making session, our curated selection of Christmas experience gifts in Edinburgh will make their festive season truly tree-mendous!
Why experience vouchers make the best gift ideas for Christmas
There’s only so many times you can present your nearest and dearest with the same old Christmas gift ideas; from novelty secret Santa gifts with about as much appeal as cold Christmas pudding to boring bath salts, tired ties and mundane mugs, we think it’s time to leave the shops behind and up your gifting game with an experience present instead. Whether you’re searching for Christmas gifts for Mum that will help her switch off from the daily grind, Christmas craft gifts for the creative soul in your life or something truly special that will fill your partner's heart with joy this yuletide, our selection of fun Edinburgh activities will definitely tick all the boxes.
Shopping for a crafty newbie or cooking novice? No problem – many of our craft classes, mixology workshops and cooking sessions are designed with the beginner in mind, so even if they’ve got no experience with a needle or they don’t know their braising from their blanching, they’ll still be able to join in with some wonderful Christmas-themed Edinburgh experiences. Led by talented teachers, local artisans and professional chefs at a variety of locations across Edinburgh, your loved one will be in safe hands as they set off on their creative journey, and will be guided step-by-step through the whole festive session.
Personalised Christmas gift ideas for your loved ones
What do you buy the person who has everything? A Christmas gift experience in Edinburgh, of course! If they’ve got a library full of books, a wardrobe full of clothes and more mugs than you can shake a stick at, treating them to a fun Edinburgh activity will definitely make them smile on Christmas morning. After all, nothing shows how much you love them like a completely personalised Christmas present, tailor made to their own interests!
Are they a culinary novice prone to a few kitchen nightmares? A cooking class or baking experience will help them learn how to polish up their pasta skills, boss bread making and discover how to make some delectable fried dumplings. Shopping for a creative guru who’d like a new crafty challenge? Send them off to master macrame or explore embroidery at a textile art class, or let them get their hands dirty at a wonderful wheel throwing pottery session. Trying to find unique gift ideas for someone who’s interested in the more unusual side of life? Treat them to a stone carving workshop, a blacksmith experience or a woodworking session where they’ll learn to get to grips with some of the more adventurous crafts on our list. There really is something for everyone!
