Myself and my friend went as a birthday present to a Sip and Paint class. The class was relaxed and our teacher Sophia was brilliant. We had everything we could possibly need and the drinks were easily accessible. Sophia gave us step by step advice which was easy to follow as well as coming around to help us 1:1 on certain aspects of our painting. We had a fabulous time and we’re really pleased with + 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.

Thank you to Anita our teacher who explained clearly how to make a candle from scratch and infuse with oil. We learnt the difference between parrafin and soywax candles. It was a fun afternoon with a group of likeminded people. The end result was a beautiful handcrafted candle. The venue was easy to find and the workshop was light and airy and comfortable to work in. My experience was bought as a Christmas + more

French Patisserie Baking Class
My girlfriend got me this amazing Masterclass as a birthday gift and honestly it was by far the best gift I could have wanted. I’ve wanted to get into patisserie for a while now but never did it myself and I’m so glad my girlfriend decided to give it to me as a gift. The masterclass by Valeria was spectacular from beginning to end. She explained every step and method and also with the addition + more

I received a voucher from my sister as a gift and decided to embark on a solo adventure for some fun. With the Easter bank holiday providing ample time, I dove into the experience eager to learn and play. The instructors were incredibly knowledgeable and infused the session with humor, making them perfect contenders for stand-up comedy. I appreciated the intimate setting and the diverse mix of guests, + more

I bought the introduction to table top making course as a gift for my partners birthday. Dan was really informative, thorough, knowledgeable and funny! The venue was fantastic, a lovely studio set on the Thames, with lots of light and really tidy and inspiring. The equipment was in good condition and we had access to so many tools. We mainly used the router, sander and circular saw. We were taught + more
Marina
I booked this class for a birthday present for a friend and three of us went. The teacher was really nice and helpful, she spread her time evenly, and she answered all our questions. There was enough time for one object repair and someone had enough time to fix his own bowl as well. All materials were provided and of great quality, and the ceramics are upcycled. The venue was very nice, just a bit + more
Dr May Myanmar
Excellent gift idea if wanting to do something more creative! Really enjoyed the class where we made mosaic mirrors. I only wish we had time to have some of the snacks as we were too focused on trying to finish the pieces. Depending on the idea for your mosaic piece you should factor in time for executing it as I think a few of us were focused alot of detail and trying to make our pieced look great + more

This, my first, silver clay workshop was excellent. Rebecca is a fantastic teacher. her instructions and demonstrations were clear and easy to follow.

I would highly recommend Rebecca's workshop.

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

The workshop is amazing! The atmosphere is very friendly and chill. We learned a lot from Marina as a teacher armed with her “nose for the business”. She shared a lot of her wisdom and this is a great gift for people who would like to learn new things. At the end of the fun-filled two hours you get to go home with your own candle creation. Also, perfect avenue for meeting new people. Highly r + more

Why are experience days a great choice for mums?
Mums can be hard to please sometimes, so we understand why you might be contemplating the best option when it comes to experience gifts for mum. After all, gift experiences for mum are the ideal option for anyone looking for something extra special for their favourite lady – who already seems to have everything she wants! These mum-friendly activities offer a unique and memorable way to show your appreciation. Unlike traditional gifts that might be forgotten, experiences create lasting memories. For busy mums who often prioritise their families, a gift experience provides a chance to take a break and enjoy something special.
So, which one should you opt for? We believe that mums deserve a little adventure and a little bit relaxation, so we think the activities that combine both of these elements are the best experience days for mum. That's where experiences like pottery classes, flower arranging workshops, cooking sessions, and candle making classes come in. It's a chance for them to learn a new skill (enter: adventure), whilst still unwinding. As she stirs up a fragrant storm in the kitchen, moulds her favourite new mug or pours a bespoke luxury scented candle, she'll be transported to another world full of adventure and relaxation.
What's even better is that many of these experiences are designed to be shared. So, not only does mum get to enjoy the experience, but it also becomes a bonding moment for the family. And here's a thoughtful touch: gift experiences are environmentally friendly. They don't clutter up the house and they often support local creators. In a nutshell, gift experiences are a heartfelt way to celebrate mums and all that they do. It's a chance for them to explore, relax, and create wonderful memories that will be cherished for years to come.
