With so many of us working remotely and spending more time indoors, online Christmas gifts for 2026 have become a great option as people look for new things to do at home. There are so many online classes to choose from — you're sure to find something they'll love! Treating your loved ones to an experience gift will make you the best Santa Claus this year.
A super thing about buying experiences for your friends and family is that it means they don’t need to worry about finding things to do in Edinburgh at Christmas, activities in Manchester, or wherever they are. You’ll have sorted that for them as our live online classes are available from anywhere in the UK.
Here’s a quick checklist to inspire your gifting:
Virtual cocktail making classes - perfect for night time indoor activities
Do your loved ones miss going out for drinks to their favourite bar? A cocktail set is a perfect experience gift for couples, and they’ll have so much fun making cocktails at home that they’ll soon forget they even missed their Manchester, Edinburgh or London attractions. The set comes with a virtual cocktail making class to guide them through a range of delicious cocktail recipes.
Treat them to a cocktail kit with all the ingredients they need to make some delicious cocktails like margaritas, espresso martinis and Moscow mules. Cocktail making classes are a lovely option for couples looking for cute at-home date night ideas — the two of them can relax, learn a new skill and have fun doing it!
DIY cocktails are a fantastic present choice if you’re looking specifically for online Christmas gifts in 2026. Help your favourite pair end the year in style with delicious drinks and some lighthearted learning with our unique Christmas presents for couples!
Candle making kits are fun gift experiences for couples
Struggling for present ideas? Offer the experience gift of crafting with our live online classes and DIY kits. There are so many options for the couples in your life — including workshops where you learn to make your own candles. It’s a lot easier than you might imagine and so rewarding. Making candles from scratch means you can customise the scent and colour to suit your home, and with no nasty chemicals added, homemade candles are so much better for you and the environment too!
We’re sure you’ll agree that soy candles are great for the wintertime. As the UK gets darker and colder, a soft warm light is an appealing addition to your DIY home decor. A lovely candle can also make your place smell wonderful and feel especially cosy.
Learning how to make candles is a really fun option for couples who are ready for new at home date ideas. Looking for gift experiences for mum and dad to show them how much you care? As the wax cools and sets, they'll work as a team to complete their stunning DIY candles and feel really proud of their creations. Candle making is a great chance to bond and connect with each other without the distraction of screens or TV.
Crafting kits are great gifts for couples
There are so many fun arts and crafts for adults to try — from painting workshops to DIY Christmas decorations. Gifting craft boxes to your loved ones is super convenient as their goodies arrive straight to their door and include easy-to-follow instructions. Crafting kits also make great things for couples to do at home to encourage them to explore their creative side and have fun together.
As well as being enjoyable, crafting is a brilliant way to learn new skills. It’s also very good for mental well-being. Crafts for adults help people find new hobbies and keep them focused on goals which can help boost confidence and productivity.
If you’re looking for Christmas craft ideas to get you and your loved ones feeling festive — choose a lovely craft box. Or, if you’re looking for online Christmas gift ideas in the UK to get the family together, try DIY kits to get you socialising during the holiday season.
Treat them to learn how to make a terrarium for a bit of relaxation
If you think the lucky couple in your life could do with some productive things to do at home that will help them relax and slow down from their busy lives, get them a terrarium kit. The set comes with all the best terrarium plants for their mini garden and makes for some unique DIY home decor.
Making a terrarium is a brilliant alternative to the usual flower arranging classes and can help reduce stress by making you focus on the task at hand. As you make your own terrarium, you'll work with soil, which can increase serotonin production in your brain.
After a busy year, we could all use some time to unwind and feel refreshed. Terrarium kits are a fun way to do it! Online terrarium classes also make fabulous presents if you’re looking for online Christmas gifts for 2026. After taking time out to flex their green thumbs, your loved ones are sure to have a relaxing new hobby that they can continue to enjoy at our terrarium classes in London, Manchester, Edinburgh and more!
Pottery at home — destress and unwind
If you’d like Christmas gift ideas with a difference, surprising your friends and family with an online pottery class is a lovely idea. Some classes even come with a pottery starter kit, providing everything required to make beautiful handmade ceramics. There are so many ways to be creative with pottery — think vases, clay planters and candle holders for a start.
Making pottery at home can be very relaxing and is great for resting the mind. You get to carve out some time away from whatever is stressing you out and let your mind be creative. This means pottery making is one of the best things to do at home if you're looking to keep calm and engage your imagination.
Giving your favourite couple a gift experience voucher of an online pottery class will provide them with hours of fun. No longer will they be wondering about things to do when bored at home as they make their amazing decoration or bowl!
