How to buy and use experience vouchers

Buying an experience gift card couldn't be simpler – it’s as easy as 1, 2, 3!

1. First, hop onto the ClassBento website and select the gift card option. You can either choose a set value – like £50 or £100 – or opt for a custom amount to perfectly cover a specific class you know they'll love.
2. Next, choose between instant delivery via email for a perfect last-minute surprise, or selecting a beautiful physical card to be sent by post.
3. Once your recipient receives their digital or physical voucher, they simply browse our thousands of incredible classes across the UK, pick their dream workshop (from pottery to cooking!), and enter the unique code at checkout. If the class costs more, they can just pay the small difference, and if it costs less, they keep the remaining balance for their next creative adventure! Easy, fun, and valid for a generous three years – it's the gift of choice and joy!

Looking to make your gift-giving even more special? Experience presents are already unique, but how you present them can make the moment really unforgettable. Here are some creative ways to give an experience gift that will surprise and delight the recipient:

• 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.
• Wrap it with a related present: 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. It’s two gifts in one!
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

The most popular voucher ideas for friends are always the ones that combine creativity with a brilliant social atmosphere: top sellers include sip and paint workshops, where you can chat and giggle over wine while creating a masterpiece, or our famously fun pottery wheel classes that lead to wonky pots and a lot of laughs.

For friends who bond over banter and bites, culinary and cocktail experience vouchers are a guaranteed hit. The gift of a fresh pasta making class allows you all to learn a delicious new skill together before tucking into the fruits of your labour – it’s hands-on, sociable, and incredibly tasty! Alternatively, a cocktail making class is the ultimate social session, giving your gang the mixology secrets they need to whip up killer drinks for all your future gatherings. A gift card for a group activity is a thoughtful way to ditch the passive present and give the incredible gift of quality time, wellbeing, and shared laughter.
