Mostly As: The Hands-On Hero

Key traits: He’s the guy who's happiest when he’s making, mending, or mastering a new skill. With a natural curiosity for how things work, he values authenticity and the joy of creating something from scratch. He doesn’t just want a gift; he wants to roll up his sleeves, spark his imagination, and walk away with a new hobby (and a bit of pride).

He already loves:

• The 'how-to' process: He’s fascinated by the techniques behind his favourite things.

• Creative problem solving: Whether it's in the garden or the garage, he loves a tactile challenge.

• Mindful making: Finding relaxation in the focus required for crafts, from pottery to woodworking.

• Meaningful objects: He appreciates items with a story – especially those he’s made with his own two hands.

So treat him to...

• A terrarium making workshop from Art Play London, where he'll make a gorgeous green accessory for his space. Green-fingered crafter Greg Inwood had a great time with them:

"Class was really fun and not something I had seen before! Naomi was great and made the experience highly enjoyable!"

• A kintsugi workshop from The Salvage Company, where he'll learn this traditional (and super satisfying) Japanese craft.
• A bowl carving class from The Green Wood Guild, where he can take up his tools and make a rustic Swedish kuksa bowl.

Mostly Bs: The Modern Connoisseur

Key traits:  He’s a man of refined tastes who believes the best stories are shared over a table. With a deep appreciation for quality, provenance, and flair, he doesn't just eat or drink – he explores. He values the craftsmanship behind a vintage bottle or a perfectly balanced dish and loves slowing down to savour the "why" behind every flavour profile.

He already loves:

• Artisanal flavours: Seeking out the best local micro-breweries, specialty roasters, or hidden-gem wine bars.

• The art of pairing: He knows exactly which cheese brings out the notes in his favorite red or which garnish levels up a gin.

• Kitchen experiments: From perfecting his sourdough starter to infusing his own bitters, he enjoys the science of taste.

• The maker’s story: He loves meeting the chefs and distillers to learn the traditions and secrets that go into every bite and sip.

So treat him to...

• This Indian cooking class from The Avenue Cookery School, where he'll discover the secrets behind all his favourite dishes. Indian food connoisseur Richard Green had nothing but praise for this five-star experience:

"This was a gift from my son as I love Indian food. The teacher was fantastic, very knowledgeable and gave us the technical understanding behind the cooking processes we were using. The layout was great with everything you needed ready to hand. Great value for money, brilliant and fun atmosphere and very, very pleased with my first authentic Indian food. Definitely recommend"

• A Turkish coffee class from coffee expert Ayse Kapusuz, where he'll learn all about the history and artistry of this unique coffee brewing method.
• This sourdough masterclass from Bernie's Bakehouse, where he'll get to grips not only with fresh sourdough bread, but focaccia and pizza dough too – a carb-lover's dream.

Mostly Cs: The Creative Soul

Key traits: He’s the man who sees beauty in the unexpected and finds his happiness in self-expression. Guided by curiosity and a colourful imagination, he isn't afraid to step outside his comfort zone to try something new. He values the process of discovery over perfection and loves any opportunity to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with his inner artist.

He already loves:

• Expressive outlets: Whether it's sketching in a notebook, snapping street photography, or curating a mood-boosting playlist.

• Unique aesthetics: He’s drawn to bold colors, interesting textures, and one-of-a-kind pieces that tell a story.

• Cultural experiences: You’ll find him wandering through art galleries, independent cinemas, or local artisan markets.

• Playful learning: He enjoys experimenting with new mediums – think splashy fluid art, kintsugi, or even DIY terrarium building.

So treat him to...

• A BYOB Wheel Throwing Pottery Class from Maison S.Sommet, which keen crafter Fred Bennett thoroughly enjoyed:

"A really great time at the pottery throwing class. With the superb advice and assistance given, it is so easy to make some great pots. A really fun, relxing and enjoyable experience I cannot recommend enough!"

• A Glassblowing class from Samantha Sweet, where he'll get to grips with this ancient art form. Bonus for you: it's for two!

• A splatter art workshop from Paperdoll Art Studio, where he'll be able to unleash his inner Pollock on a canvas – stimulating and satisfying!

Mostly Ds: The Social Butterfly

Key traits: He’s the life of the party and the glue that holds the group together! For him, an activity is only as good as the people he shares it with, and he values connection, laughter, and shared stories above all else. He’s not looking for a solitary hobby; he wants a lively environment where he can chat, joke, and bond with his favourite people while trying something new.

He already loves:

• Group gatherings: Being the host or the first one on the guest list for dinner parties and game nights.

• Shared experiences: Whether it’s a rowdy trivia night or a group cocktail masterclass, he’s there for the atmosphere.

• Connecting with others: He’s a natural at making friends with the instructor and keeping the energy high for everyone else.

• Making memories: He measures the success of a day by the number of laughs shared and the photos taken with the crew.

We think he'll love...

• A paint and sip class from Cosy Corner would be a great place for him to get some creativity going in his natural, social environment. Social painter Lorenzo Michelangeli thought this was a great choice:

"Abi was great, helpful & made us feel welcome from the moment we stepped into her classroom!
As a first experience I had so much fun sipping & painting & I’m sure I’ll be back for round two!"

• This premium cocktail making class at La Bibliotheque would be  a great place for him to hone his bartending skills for his next night in with mates.
• This street art tour and spray painting class from Alternative London would make a great gift for any fans of urban art, giving him the chance to tap into his inner Banksy – or maybe he was Banksy all along?!
