For the foodies: Perfect pairings for culinary show lovers

Do you always find her curled up in front of The Great British Bake Off, armed with a slice of something sweet? Maybe she’s always telling you off for talking through Masterchef?

"I love baking, but not great at decorating with icing. I attended this with a friend who also loves to bake – we both loved it! Ruth was an attentive teacher and taught us useful skills and tips for working with royal icing, buttercream, piping bags and nozzles. I can't wait to practice my new icing skills on my next bake! I highly recommend this class with Ruth." - Namalee Weerasekara, Cake decorating class.

For the homebody: Experiences inspired by interior design series

If your favourite lady’s idea of heaven is creating Pinterest boards full of dreamy homes while Grand Designs plays in the background, she’s almost certainly an interior aficionado. Armed with the latest copy of Elle Decoration, her favourite way to spend a Saturday afternoon is watching reruns of Interior Design Masters with her feet up after an exciting morning at the antiques market.

For nature lovers: Outdoorsy workshops for earth enthusiasts

If your girl is happier outdoors, and only curls up in front of Netflix when the weather is really bad, she’s almost certainly a nature lover – especially if she lists her favourite show as simply ‘anything with Bear Grylls’.

For those with wanderlust: Experience gifts for globe-trotters at heart

If she’s a globe trotting Queen with an adventurous streak, she probably doesn’t have much time for TV – she’s far too busy flinging everything into a backpack and jetting off to her latest destination. With a constant appetite for new cultures and fresh cities, when she does stay in one place for long enough she’s usually parked in front of shows like Walking the Himalayas or The Amazing Race – getting inspo for her next trip, of course!
