The perfect experience day for her is…
Mostly A’s: She’s the crafty type
If she's one of life's creative souls, skip the material gifts entirely — she'll get far more out of an experience that lets her make something with her own hands. These also make especially thoughtful birthday gifts for girlfriends who love working with their hands, and fit neatly under hobbies for women who'd rather learn a skill than unwrap another box.
We think she’ll love…
- A jewellery making workshop from The Wax Lab, which crafter Hannah Fagan tried and told us:
I highly recommend this workshop! I went alone and had such a nice time. Tilly was so accommodating and provided lots of snacks, tea and a glass of Prosecco. The class was small so there was lots of time for Tilly to help everyone individually with their designs. Lovely activity to take yourself on a date, definitely worth the cost!
- A leather bag making workshop from Ten Cloudy, where she’ll get to create a completely bespoke cross-body leather bag from scratch.
- A sculpt and sip class from Paintvine UK, which will let her mix pottery with prosecco and craft up a storm!
Mostly B’s: She’s a fabulous foodie
For the woman who loves to indulge her taste buds, cooking and baking workshops are the way to go. These experience days for her will let her learn new recipes, master different cuisines, or even discover the art of making her favourite sweet treats. Whether it's a gourmet chocolate-making class or a wine-tasting event, these experiences for her will satisfy her culinary curiosity and make her feel like a true chef in the making!
We think she’ll love…
- A bread making class from Cooking with Jinny, led by a finalist from none other than the Great British Bake Off itself! Mark Whittaker treated his mum to this class for her birthday, saying:
I booked this bread making experience for my Mum's 70th Birthday. Jinny and Dan were fantastic mentors and hosts, which made the day memorable and fun. A great way to spend a Saturday afternoon with friends and family!
- An on-trend mochi making class from Simon and Hanna’s Foodie Kitchen, where she’ll master the art of making these delicious Japanese delicacies! (It’s also gluten free!)
- A gnocchi and pasta making class from The Natural Cookery School, which is vegan-friendly and totally delicious.
Mostly C’s: She’s a wellness warrior
If she’s all about relaxation and self-care, a calming experience could be just what she needs, and a mindful art class, yoga workshop, or candle-making session would offer the perfect way for her to unwind and treat herself. These experience gifts for her focus on mindfulness and rejuvenation, allowing her to slow down, relax, and find peace in her busy life. And breathe!
We think she’ll love…
- An aromatherapy and wax melt making class from The Alchemist’s Satchel, where she’ll be able to discover the secrets behind blending essential oils to make ultra-relaxing wax melts for her home. Clare Carson bought the class as a gift, and told us:
I bought the session as a gift and we had a lovely morning together; I found it so relaxing and calming. Bell's knowledge of essential oils, plants and sustainability is amazing and she was able to answer all my questions with detailed responses. She's created a beautiful, intimate space that is perfect for group sessions. I left with some gorgeous wax melts that I'm ever so proud of. Will definitely be booking on another session!
- Diving into the world of traditional Chinese medicine with a Gua Sha facial massage class from Blomma Beauty, which will leave her skin toned and radiant.
- A forestbathing, mindfulness and hammocking experience from WanderWomen Scotland Ltd, which will take her on a nature-filled wellness journey into the forest.
