Flower arranging classes are great if you know a plant lover

For those nature-loving ladies out there, you'll find so many floristry workshops with loads of beautiful flower arranging options. Your flower-loving best pal can try a wreath making class and learn how to make a stunning artificial wreath for some DIY home decor. Or if she wants to deck the halls in time for Santa, a Christmas wreath workshop is also a great experience gift to help her get in the festive spirit.

She might also want to try floral arrangements and bouquets made from dried flowers so they last forever. Or maybe even a flower crown workshop. If she's more passionate about plants, why not gift her a terrarium workshop so she can learn how to whip up her own miniature garden instead? Or create a beautiful green globe to hang with a kokedama class! There are so many experience gifts for her to enjoy. 

Working with flowers is also great for mental well-being and making you feel refreshed, so if she could use productive things to do at home, a floristry class is perfect.

Workshop experience gift cards let her make cocktails at home

If you know a party girl looking for ways to liven up her next get-together or treat herself after a long week, a cocktail making class might be just the Christmas gift for her this year. Learning from an expert mixologist in one of her best local bars, she'll get the lowdown on how to make cocktails, from a classic cosmopolitan or mojito to some more experimental flavours that are sure to impress. There are even cocktail workshops combining tasty tipples with sumptuous snacks like dumplings — so you'll be able to really treat your tastebuds! A brilliant alternative to a night on the town, taking a cocktail class together could be just the thing to make some lovely memories together to make this Christmas extra merry!

Candle making kits are a really relaxing experience gift

If your best girlfriend needs a break, get her this gift experience so she can learn how to make candles of her own design. Making candles with these amazing classes is so easy because there is no stressing about which ingredients or equipment to buy. Everything she needs comes included, so she can focus on making some amazing candles. Whether she's an eco-warrior looking for a relaxing new hobby or someone who's had a tough year and could do with a treat to unwind, getting stuck into soothing soy candle making is sure to put a smile on her face.
Homemade candles are easy to customise which makes this gift a bit more exciting. Once she has made her DIY candle, she can enjoy a nice relaxing bath with them. A soak in the tub is even more special with a handmade candle to illuminate it and will make the room smell sweet.

Paint and sip classes are perfect for art lovers

Paint and sip classes are the ideal Christmas presents for anyone with a creative streak who might like a little extra encouragement to get started. Let them unleash their inner artist on the canvas while sipping something delicious and learning how to paint.

These online classes aren’t like regular art classes — they're much more laid back and relaxing, so you can be sure your loved one will enjoy themselves. Plus, she'll leave with an incredible mini-masterpiece to decorate her walls. She'll also finish with all the artistic skills she needs to continue her painting journey and be the proud owner of a gallery wall in no time!

It should go without saying, but this would also be a fantastic way to spend time with a loved one you haven't seen in a while — what better way to break the ice than with some messy fun and a few drinks together?

Cooking classes make tasty gifts for aspiring chefs

A cooking class would make a great gift for someone who’s already a pro in the kitchen or those looking to learn how to cook. If your gal pal wants to recreate her favourite restaurant experience at home, a culinary gift card will go down a treat. From perfect pasta making classes for Italian cooking fans to warming curries, hearty stews and delicate desserts, we've got a cooking workshop that will definitely suit your foodie friend. 

It’s a great Christmas gift for her to keep her senses stimulated and her mind engaged. Cooking classes are so enjoyable and are a really fun way to get out into your local community and meet new people.

It doesn’t matter if you want to learn how to make dumplings in Manchester, Indian street food in Glasgow or sourdough bread in Brighton, we've got you covered with a huge range of classes that'll get every mouth watering.

Lettering calligraphy will give her a break from screens

If you think your leading lady could do with some time away from her laptop, a voucher for a calligraphy class is a brilliant way to help her get back in touch with lettering art and writing. This relaxing craft is great for the hands and for the mind as it slows you down into an almost meditative state in which you can destress when you've had a long week (or year!).

Learning how to write in calligraphy is super easy, even for beginners who have never tried brush lettering. Guided by a welcoming expert, she'll learn all about the best calligraphy pens and techniques to create beautiful lettering art — perfect to use in this year's handmade Christmas cards.

If you need a unique experience gift, try soap making DIY kits

If you need relaxing indoor activities as a Christmas gift for your bath-loving friend then a soap making class is perfect. These DIY kits are full of essential oils and botanicals so their natural soap can be personalised however they want, making this experience gift super enjoyable.

This method of soap making is much more sustainable than store-bought bars, since it uses much less plastic and only eco-friendly ingredients. So not only are these live online classes fun things to do at home, they’re good for the environment!
