Sustainable Gift Experiences for Her

Sustainable Gift Experiences for Her


By Laura Maskery


If you’re looking for lovely experience gifts for her and want to gift as consciously as possible, one of our sustainable gift experiences, DIY kits or craft boxes could be just what you need.

Whether you’re choosing a present for your mum, wife, auntie, bestie, girlfriend or grannie, we’ve got lots of fab options for sustainable experience gift ideas and crafting kits that she will love. 

Unique gifts can be tricky to find and although giving presents to show our appreciation is a lovely thing to do, material presents can quite literally cost the earth and on a mass scale can put a lot of pressure on our precious planet.  

This is why we think you should give an experience as a gift if you want eco presents for her. An activity is a sustainable present that cuts out packaging, meaning you can gift guilt-free. Treat those in your life to something special without adding to landfill waste!

Another awesome thing about activity gifts and experience presents is that they give our recipients happy memories to treasure, and after all - it’s the things we do that we treasure the most, rather than the things we have.

So let us help you with a couple of our favourite unique experience gift ideas for your number one woman - whatever the occasion, we’ve got you covered!

A bowl of melted wax, some dried wax and some mason jars for making beeswax candles and beeswax wraps.

Craft beeswax wraps using DIY kits

If the lady in your life is keen to cut out plastic waste, why not surprise her with a DIY beeswax wraps making class? She can enjoy this live streaming class from the comfort of her own home, without charging around in traffic to take part. An eco-friendly option all round!

Joining a fab teacher in this online craft class, she’ll learn how to make her own beeswax wraps to use at home. These wraps can be used to keep her food or plastic-free toiletries fresh in the same way as clingfilm, plastic bags or plastic Tupperware. It’s a really good choice if you’re looking for indoor activities for your recipient, and it’s one of those fun things to do at home for anyone who wants to get their creative spark back. This is also a really mindful activity and as she focuses on her craft kit, your lucky lady will switch off from her everyday worries and totally relax into her activity. 

We've got your special lady covered with all the essentials for crafting her very own beeswax wraps, conveniently delivered right to her doorstep in a craft box using eco-friendly packaging. Along with the craft kit, we'll include some cotton fabric. If she happens to have any spare bits of old fabric lying around at home, those work perfectly too. It's a fantastic way to repurpose material from old clothes or furnishings, giving them a new life as useful wraps. We suggest using thin cotton fabric.

Everything else your gal will need to make her lovely beeswax wraps she’ll probably already have at home - an old towel, an apron and an iron will all come in handy. She’ll have a great time unwinding with this creative online craft class and by the end of the gift experience, she will have a really useful homemade product to use for years to come. Not only are these beeswax wraps way better for the environment than plastic, but they’re also super pretty and your favourite lady will feel really proud at having made them all by herself.

Light up her special day with a soy candle making kit

A handmade candle is cooling.

If you’re on the hunt for the perfect gift experience for a special girl in your life, a soy candle making kit could be one of the best gifts for her that you’ve ever chosen. If she loves a nice candle and you think she’d enjoy getting into a fun and relaxing activity at home, we think she’ll really enjoy learning how to make soy candles.

If being sustainable is important to you and your recipient, homemade soy candles are a much more eco-friendly option than a mass-produced paraffin product. Soy wax is biodegradable and it also has a lower melting point than its paraffin cousin, meaning soy candles burn slower and longer than paraffin ones, lasting for a more sustained period in your home and meaning you don’t need to make or purchase as many. 

Candle making classes are really fun and making candles isn’t as hard as you might think. You could opt to treat your girl of choice to a DIY candle making kit, giving her the chance to craft away at her leisure with easy to follow instructions and everything she needs all packed up in a self-contained craft kit. Or you could go for a candle making set complete with a live streaming class, taught by a friendly and supportive candle artisan. You could even turn this lovely gift experience into a group activity for you, your recipient and her friends or loved ones - even if some or all of you are physically separated, you can all connect remotely online to enjoy this great present together.

We think a homemade candles kit would be a fab sustainable gift for your eco-friendly queen. Let us know if she likes it! 

If these sustainable gifting options aren’t quite right for your chosen recipient, or if you’re not totally sure which kind of experience gift to go for, open-ended experience gift vouchers are a really fun and flexible option, and allow your lucky lady to choose the present she really wants. This is a sure-fire way to be certain that you aren’t buying her something that will go to waste (as waste is the worst thing ever for someone who’s sustainably-minded!) ClassBento’s gift cards are valid for three years, so your well-deserving gal will have plenty of time to choose something just right for her.

For pottery lovers, have a read of what one of customer's had to say about kintsugi's sustainable touch: 

"Me and my amazing girlfriend went for our Valentines Day celebrations and the class was fantastic. The teacher was very helpful and informative about the history behind Kintsugi, for something that could have been frustrating she guided us through the process peacefully creating a great atmosphere. The reclaimed pots added a nice sustainable touch too, would definitely try again." – Sophie, Beginner's Kintsugi Workshop
