Eclairs and Profiteroles Baking Class
I booked the eclairs class for my husband's birthday and it did not disappoint! We both love eating choux pastries (who doesn't?) and so I thought what better gift than an experience we could do together as well as learning a new skill.

Me and my partner received this class as a Christmas gift last year. Laura (the teacher) was super friendly, helpful in offering guidance and created a good environment for us to play around with whatever designs we wanted and have fun with it.

Tufting 101 Class: Create Your Own Custom Rug
It was great, I went in with my mum and we did one rug together, whenever I needed help the supervisors were free to come around and help me with whatever I needed. The class was great value for money as it enlightened me to a new possible hobby and just an overall great experience, it was a present for my 18th birthday so I am sure I will remember it for a while to come. Below are some photos of + more

We had a fantastic night with Yegbasa (Yani!). She explained the pottery making with clarity and ease. It is such a fun thing to do with friends and was a joint 50th gift for 3 out of 5 of our crew. Can't wait to receive my finished product. Highly recommended.

I surprised my mum as a bday present and we both absolutely loved it! It was so fun and we learnt so many techniques to create what ever we wanted (that we can now do for ourselves at home).

We contacted Bettina because we wanted to make a personalized housewarming gift for our friend. Bettina was warm, welcoming and extremely helpful. She gave us individual attention and tailored her instructions to our projects. She even gave me a different type of clay that would dry faster, since my project was thicker and larger than my friend's. The space was homely, she offered us tea and coffee + more

Watercolour Painting Class: Impressionist Style
"The best birthday gift I've ever had!" said my girlfriend after Tony's painting class. We were both absolute beginners and Tony patiently taught us the basics in a fun, educational, and hands-on way. He is both an expert and a natural motivator and his sunny artist studio was just a relaxing space to be inspired. I have no doubt he has lots to offer experienced painters, but if you're a beginner look + more
Nicole Fong
Noriko was a lovely, helpful and friendly instructor. Her hands on and patient approach made it so easy to follow the kintsugi process, and the bits of kintsugi history and background, and tea break with snacks kept the session interesting. I can’t wait to apply what I’ve learned to the broken ceramics i have at home. The kintsugi kit that Noriko stocked was an easy way to try it for myself. + more

I enjoyed it immensely and have been recommending the class to my friends. I + more

Experience Gifts and Ideas Sydney
Why Sydney experiences make the best gifts
The real beauty of experience gifts is that they can’t be replicated. Unlike a pair of shoes, a bouquet of flowers, or that other new item you just had to have, our Sydney experiences can last a lifetime. Studies show that buying trends are shifting away from goods and commodities and toward authentic and unique experiences gifts. Why? Because shared experiences can enrich lives, strengthen connections and improve mental wellbeing. Spend Mother's Day in Sydney in 2024 learning something new with your mum and reconnecting. You'll even take home your own creation!
