Gifts for Mum - Experience Ideas

Why experience vouchers make the best gift ideas

We all know that the best things in our lives aren’t actually things at all - instead, our most precious memories come from our experiences. That’s why experience gift vouchers offer up a really lovely option when you’re looking for the best presents to buy your mum. Treating your mum to an experience gift means she can enjoy doing something different and special, and the memories and skills she gains from the gift experience will last much longer than a bunch of flowers (however lovely flowers can be)! Choosing experience gifts also means that you can pick something suited to your mum and her personal interests, or you can gift her the chance to do something new that she might have been hoping to try for ages. An experience voucher for your mum could come in the form of an art class online, a paint and wine experience, a soy candle making kit, a pottery at home kit, a flower workshop or even an online photography course to help her learn how to capture life’s most precious moments on her smartphone or camera. Whatever your mum’s into, there are lots of lovely gift experience ideas waiting to make her smile. 

If you’re not entirely sure which kind of experience gift to go for, open-ended experience gift vouchers are a great option and allow your mum to choose exactly what she’d like. Another plus with activity gifts and experience gift vouchers is the flexibility - a voucher gives your momma the chance to stay at home and take part in unique virtual experiences with the option of live online classes, or she might prefer to look forward to doing something in-person - with you or with like-minded others. ClassBento’s gift cards are valid for three years, so your well-deserving mum has plenty of time to choose something just right for her.  

Unforgettable mother’s day gifts 

The best gifts to get your mum are the ones that are unforgettable and will leave her with happy memories to treasure. Choosing unusual experience gifts helps with this. Choosing an interesting and fun class or experience for your mum which she’ll love doing is going to be an unforgettable experience - especially so if you join your mum in the activity, either by yourself or with other loved ones. After all, time spent together is the most valuable gift you can give. 

Make it a mother’s day to remember this year with special gifts for mum that she’ll treasure for a long time. If you usually treat her to lunch out or an afternoon of delicious cocktails, why not level up your gifting game and spoil her with some online cooking classes or a cocktail making kit to have fun with at home. Alternatively, you could take her to a local cooking school or a cocktail making experience nearby. Imagine how much of a lovely time you’ll have whilst learning to make some delicious new dishes together, or shaking up some refreshing cocktails as you catch up. If your mum’s a star baker, you could treat her to a super fun cake decorating kit, or get your aprons on and head out to a baking school to learn some very cool new patisserie skills.

For the crafty mammas, you can make it a very happy mother’s day by choosing presents for mum that will give her the chance to express her creativity. Go for a gift experience to remember with a pottery or painting workshop or an art class online, or paint a canvas together whilst enjoying a bottle of something delicious with a fab paint and sip kit sent to your door. You don’t have to be a great crafter or arty master to make or paint something awesome and have a lovely time doing it - it’s the experience itself that will be unforgettable. 

Unique Christmas/birthday presents for mum

It’s always the right time to spoil our mums, and whether it’s for Christmas, her birthday or a unique, surprise present that she isn’t expecting is always a lovely thing. 

If your mum loves flowers, why not invite her to a floristry workshop and make a day of arranging beautiful blooms together, it’s a supercharged gifting version of giving her a bouquet and the experience and results will give her a unique birthday or Christmas to remember! 

If you’d prefer to relax in the comfort of your own surroundings, you could make your own terrarium together at home, creating a gorgeous self-contained jungle in a beautiful glass bowl to keep. You’ll have a lovely time building your luscious plant kingdoms together and you’ll finish your experience with a growing and tangible reminder of the event to cherish - it’s a different kind of present for mum and she’ll be wanting to tell her friends about it straight away! 

Keep us posted on how much your mum loves her present. And start thinking about how on earth you’re going to top your gift next year!
