Some happy gift recipients




Serena




I received this class as a gift having always wanted to try glass blowing, and it was even better than I had hoped! I wasn’t sure how much complete beginners would be trusted to do with glass blowing, and quite how much we may be involved, but Steve and Angie were fabulous instructors! They did expert demonstrations and step by step instructions guiding us throughout, with really positive, helpful  + more

Glass and Mosaic class review by Serena - Bristol


Jethro Heather




I had a lovely time making candles with a very knowledgable teacher and took a way a great deal that I had learnt. Perfect if you’re a beginner like me, or even if you just want to refresh your knowledge. A lovely therapeutic afternoon which I would thoroughly recommend ️ also loved the little take home kit you can buy at the end to practice! This was bought for me for a gift from my partner so  + more

Christina




This class was a birthday gift and I loved it! We decorated a glass jar with pressed flowers then made 3 container candles, one with the jar, one in a tin, and one in a teacup.

Soy Candle Making Workshop review by Christina - Bristol


Anil Batra




We had a great time - the class was a Christmas present for my son and I from our wives. We did this in our back garden with very changeable weather but Ben had a pop up gazebo which did a great job we could enjoy both the sun and the rain! Ben our teacher was great very calm and got us involved so we could fully understand the preparation and the cooking of delicious food in a simple way and therefore  + more

Ruth Olney




This was a birthday gift from some friends. I loved it. It was a sip and paint class where we painted the Northern Lights. The teacher was brilliant, so patient and kind and gave clear instruction. Materials were spot on and the venue was really good. The time flew by. Was great to connect to some creativity in a warm and friendly environment.

Anonymised ClassBento student




Such a brilliant day with Charlotte! I bought the earring workshop for two people as a gift and we both already had ideas on what we wanted to make. Charlotte was so knowledgeable and happy to try new and different ideas so our visions were happily fulfilled. Really fun day, I’ll be recommending the workshop to everyone!

Jewellery Making class review by Anonymised ClassBento student - Bristol


Emily Clatworthy




It was amazing. I went alone to redeem a gift voucher, but I was so impressed. As the slowest learner of the group, I struggled but wasn't made to feel like an inconvenience. The teacher was polite, helpful and an amazing teacher, showing us along the way and always available for extra guidance along the way


Joan Clark




Super friendly and professional! Steve and Angela couldn’t have been more welcoming and reassuring. This treat was a Christmas present that I eventually got round to booking. I’m famously clumsy so was apprehensive but with their expert guidance managed to deliver 4 items. Small group number means there is plenty of hand-on time. Can’t wait to see the finished products once fired! Thank you both for a great experience


Adam Sims




We had a great time, this is an excellent gift for a BBQ lover, learnt some wonderful tips and some new recipes to try with family and friends. Ben was great, knowledgable and made the experience an enjoyable event. Will be recommending this experience to others :)


Hannah Browning




I bought this class as a birthday gift for my friend, then went along with her. We love our beautiful new earrings and we had a really great time making them. We were able to try lots of different techniques and learned a lot about the process of making silver jewellery. Charlotte was knowledgeable and friendly and very generous with her materials and her expertise. Thank you so much!


Tina Muir




Teacher was lovely and very helpful. Taught me a few things to help with the technic of brush lettering also received a nice gift box so very happy thank you


Georgie Flawn




Really well run, fun creative class. My friend had mentioned it to me as she loved it, i took my daughter for her birthday and her friend, was the perfect gift and something to take home too. I think having this picture of the Elephant near each painter would have been good, you can see more clearly what would have made him more defined and professional looking, but that aside was still a brilliant evening.


Sophie Dawkins




Karen was an excellent host and teacher, I bought the soap making workshop for some family (and myself) as a Christmas present - we all thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience, Karen taught us so much about the soap making process, and answered all of our questions along the way It was also brilliant to lean about Karen’s own soap making business, and how simplicity can create really gorgeous products The value for money of this workshop is also excellent, we were very well catered for with lovely tea and cake too Thank you Karen, for letting  + more


Faye




Fantastic Soap making workshop, host was very welcoming and very knowledgeable about soap making, I throughly enjoyed the experience and was made to feel very welcome. The home made cake was much appreciated and delicious along with a cup of tea during our break. I can’t wait to try out my homemade soap when it is ready in a few weeks. I also bought another product in the gift shop which I’m looking forward to trying. Thankyou very much for hosting such a fabulous workshop!

Unique and creative ways to give an experience gift


Looking to make your gift-giving even more special? Experience gifts are already unique, but how you present them can make the moment unforgettable. Whether it’s one of our general Egift cards UK edition or a specific workshop gift card – it doesn’t mean the gift-giving process has to be any less fun. Here are some creative ways to give an experience gift that will surprise and delight the recipient.

  1. Create a custom puzzle: Turn the experience details into a puzzle they have to solve. Whether it’s a jigsaw with the workshop information or a fun crossword that reveals the experience, it’s a playful way to add an element of mystery.
  2. Wrap it with a related pressie: Pair your experience gift with a physical item related to the activity. Gifting a pottery class? Include a small, hand-thrown vase. Giving a paint and sip experience? Add a set of paintbrushes or a favourite bottle of wine. This creates anticipation and excitement.
  3. DIY treasure hunt: For an adventurous twist, hide clues around their home or a special location that lead them to the experience gift. Each clue can be a hint about the experience, making the reveal more thrilling.
  4. Create a countdown: If the experience is booked for a future date, build up excitement with a countdown calendar. Each day can offer a small clue or fun fact about what’s to come, making the wait part of the fun.
  5. Personalised video reveal: Send a heartfelt video message where you explain the gift and why you chose it for them. Include fun hints and build up the excitement. This is a touching, personal way to give an experience that shows how much thought went into it.

These are our favourite gift card gift ideas – enjoy! By getting creative with how you present the gift, you’ll elevate the entire experience, making it a truly memorable moment before the adventure even begins.
