From the undercover artisan to the homebody, this guide explores the best experience gifts the UK has to offer for every type of person in your life. So, ditch the socks and embrace the joy of gifting experiences, not things!

Celebrate your pals, partner or parents with cool experience presents

Experience presents are perfect for anyone on your list, from close friends and partners to parents and siblings – after all, the beauty lies in finding an experience that aligns with their personality and interests.  Here are some fantastic ideas to get your creative juices flowing:

Pottery classes for the creative soul

Does your loved one have a hidden artistic streak? Unleash their inner sculptor with a pottery class! Many pottery studios offer beginner-friendly wheel throwing and hand building workshops, where they can get their hands dirty moulding clay and creating beautiful pottery pieces.  

Candle making workshops for the frazzled friend

Living in a fast-paced world can leave anyone feeling stressed, so why not gift your busiest friend a haven of relaxation with a candle making workshop?  These calming experience presents allow them to create personalised candles, selecting their favourite scents and essential oils to create something truly personal to them.  The therapeutic act of crafting their own candles combined with the soothing aromas will leave them feeling rejuvenated and ready to conquer the world.

Sewing classes for the cosy homebody

For those who find comfort in creating a warm and inviting home, sewing classes make ideal experience presents.  Beginner workshops introduce them to the basics of sewing, from operating a sewing machine to crafting simple yet stylish projects; led by a textile design maestro, they’ll be able to create their own cushion covers, throws, or even a handy tote bag – perfect for carrying those veggies home from the market.  Bonus points if the class incorporates embroidery workshops, so they can add that personal touch to their creations!

Cocktail making experiences for party animals

Do you know someone who lights up any gathering? Then fuel their inner party animal with a cocktail making experience! These interactive workshops are a blast, teaching them the tricks of the trade from professional bartenders.  They'll learn how to muddle, mix, and shake their way to creating impressive cocktails and mixed drinks, perfect for hosting their next social gathering. 

Cooking classes for the fabulous foodie

For the culinary enthusiast in your life, a cooking class is a dream come true!  These hands-on experience presents allow them to explore different cuisines, learn new techniques, and perfect their cooking skills.  They might choose a class focusing on mastering Italian pasta dishes, delving into the secrets of Thai curries, or even creating decadent desserts.  The best part?  They get to enjoy the delicious creations at the end of the class – a win-win for everyone! 

Remember, the best gift experiences are those that cater to the recipient's passions, and with a little thoughtfulness, you can find the perfect workshop that will create lasting memories and bring a smile to their face. So, ditch the traditional and embrace the extraordinary with experience presents this year!
