Kids' Acrylic Colour-in Canvas Art (4-7 Years)
Nikki was very friendly and welcoming from the outset. We were lucky enough to be the only ones at the workshop so we were able to have her undivided attention. She talked to and asked questions to my daughter offering suggestions on how she could colour the canvas. We also had many conversations about our shared love of crafting. The items were beautifully presented as if they were a gift andNikki was very friendly and welcoming from the outset. We were lucky enough to be the only ones at the workshop so we were able to have her undivided attention. She talked to and asked questions to my daughter offering suggestions on how she could colour the canvas. We also had many conversations about our shared love of crafting. The items were beautifully presented as if they were a gift and included a photo box, a canvas to colour in, paint brushes, little pots of acrylic paint, a well pallete and a mixed media paper pad. The value of these items exceded the cost of the workshop and my daughter was delighted she got to take them home with her. During the workshop my daughter decided that she would colour in the canvas using the felt tips provided by the store. She was very happy to be chatting as she coloured in. In one of her conversations she mentioned to Nikki that she read Rainbow Magic books and Nikki drew her an illustration of a fairy for her to take home and colour. I would thoroughly recommend attending a workshop at the Newbury store as everyone was really friendly and it was a perfect way to spend an hour with my daughter doing an activity she loves. Will definitely be attending more. + more

Tea Tasting for Mindfulness at Home
Erica was our wonderful guide through the world of tea and creating mindful moments and rituals to go alongside the different teas. I'd highly recommend buying the tea box to go alongside the class as you get to try some really unusual and delicious teas and shown how to brew them in different ways to get the best out of them.

Cathy Holland • Mar 2021
Really enjoyed my class which was a present from my daughter. Couldn’t open the emailed link via my laptop so had to use my iPhone which wasn’t ideal but loved the session. Could easily have been a 3-4 hour class. As a complete beginner it certainly whetted my appetite to start painting. Very engaging tutor. Left abruptly at end as my phone ran out of charge but Thank you very much x
Sophie Norden • Feb 2021
Lovely gift from my colleagues. Enjoyed adding a few extra shells and succulents from my stash too.

Cocktails at Home: Who's for a Pornstar Martini?
Really enjoyed the interaction with the barman and others that took part. The box of goodies was well presented. This was a 60th birthday present and I will definitely booking another one. Well done

Make Chocolate Truffles at Home
This event was a leaving gift for a chocolate fan . We enjoyed the mix of making chocolate and the history of chocolate which was fascinating. Thoroughly enjoyed .

Make DIY Beeswax Wraps at Home
A really lovely teacher and a quick and enjoyable class. Making your own beeswax cloths is more satisfying and cheaper than buying them, they make great presents and they help to reduce the use of plastic/cling film. All the details and kit I needed arrived in good time. It was a great birthday present from my son and daughter.
Zanya Fechner • Mar 2021
Really loved this class - it made a great mother's day present and would definitely do it again :)

Mix These Modern Cocktails at Home
The class was fantastic. Tom was brilliant. This was a present for my partners birthday, it was so much fun. I highly recommend!
Anonymized Customer • Feb 2021
Yesterday I had a Mixology at Home class with Dan Sammons, which was a present from my wife. As I’m a reasonably competent cocktail maker, I wasn’t sure how I’d find it. However, it was absolutely superb Dan put his heart and soul into the session, not only introducing me to some new cocktails, but showing me ways of enhancing cocktails I was already familiar with. He’s an extremely nice person, with an extensive knowledge of mixology and cocktail making. But more than that, he was really passionate about making it a good session.

I believe he offers classes at beginner, intermediate and expert levels. + more
Why experience vouchers make the best gift ideas
Our experience vouchers make the best gift ideas because after being in lockdown or spending more time at home recently, they can have something fun to look forward to. If you know they’ll love our art classes but unsure which one to choose, then our gift cards could be the best gift idea so that your loved one can choose which activity will suit them the best. Our experience gift ideas could literally do much more for your loved one than you think! As we aim to bring out your creative side to help regain your identity and even build your confidence, it could empower you to continue our classes as a newfound hobby or passion.
As hobbies are becoming more popular this year thanks to everyone trying to find fun things to do at home, the benefits of learning new skills you’re passionate about has so many benefits. When you take time out of a busy life to do things you love, you’ll begin to feel much happier and notice overall improved health and wellness. This could strengthen relationships with the people who really matter in your life and improve work relationships as well as energy and concentration levels.
We know many people lead very busy lives and sometimes finding time to do things you love can be put to the bottom of the list. Instead, reignite your loved one’s creative side and book them an experience gift so they can fit in the classes around their schedule instead. We want to make sure everyone in Britain has access to our art classes and workshops, so you can either choose in-person art classes or online classes instead. Our live-streaming classes are the perfect option for anyone not living close to a major city or anyone who would prefer to attend the class from the comfort of their own home. Plus, we know how much more cosier it is to attend a class from home when you’re looking for things to do indoors or things to make at home.
Unique gifts for men / women
You don’t need to worry about having any previous experience as our unique experience gift ideas are designed for beginners. Not only will they make perfect gifts for men or women, but our art workshops are also all about unwinding and having fun. Some of the most popular gifts for men include our cocktail making classes. Book your loved one a cocktail making kit and they’ll be able to learn easy cocktails to make at home in no time! Just imagine the cocktail parties they’ll be able to hold once they’ve learnt how to make DIY cocktails!
If your loved one has always wanted to improve their photography skills, our iPhone photography at home classes are the perfect gift to learn how to capture amazing memories right from their phone. Finding the best gifts for her just became much easier than you thought. Discover new restaurant-worthy dishes to cook at home and ditch the take out or microwave meals. Learn how to bake or how to cook the best chicken tikka masala in our Indian cooking classes which can be taken at home or in person! There are thousands of incredible unique gifts for women to choose from, you won’t find it difficult to find the perfect gift idea.
Unique gifts for friends
Haven’t seen your friends in a while? No problem. Build stronger friendships and bring your friends together, no matter where they live in Britain. Our unique gifts for friends are the best way to create amazing memories you’ll be able to share for a lifetime. If you’re looking for that special gift for a close friend, choose an art class you can do together either in-person or online. Our paint and sip classes are some of our most popular unique gifts for friends because they aren’t only designed to slow down and unwind from a busy day, they are a really sociable and fun way to bring out your creative side. If painting and drinking wine isn’t your thing, opt for a fun terrarium class instead. Learn how to make a terrarium either at home or at one of our in-person classes and bring more plants into your home. Your friends will love it!
Whether you choose a live in-person class or a live-streaming class, we’ll send all of the materials and tools to your loved one’s front door with our DIY art kits. All they’ll need to do is simply log on via Zoom to find the teacher ready to teach them everything they need to know about improving their skills. Our gift experiences also make great group activities, so why not surprise your loved one with one of our experience days for couples on Valentine’s day, or gather your workmates together for a festive experience day at Christmas?
