Best DIY Wedding Anniversary Gifts in Sydney


By Sam Bowden

Instead of going into a mad scramble when your favourite couple has a wedding milestone coming up, find them DIY anniversary gifts in Sydney that ignite their creativity as well as their relationship! From hands-on cooking classes to relaxing massage workshops, there are experience gifts for couples to suit everyone.

Coming up with gifts for couples doesn’t have to be a bore. With so many things to do in Sydney and around Australia, it may be easier than you think to come up with great anniversary gifts or date night ideas if you are, in fact, one half of said couple. Check out these fantastic gifts for couples that won’t only celebrate the anniversary but really help you - as they say - set the mood. 

Date night ideas in Sydney

Dumpling making

Sydney is offering you and your partner a chance to explore and celebrate together. The city is buzzing with fun date night ideas and gift experiences for couples tailored to you. From dumpling making to shaking cocktails, you'll find plenty of things to do in Sydney when chasing an anniversary gift for the husband or wife that you can also enjoy.

If you’re looking for date night ideas that’ll really get your hands working, Honka’s Bar + Eats in Potts Point runs one of the most popular dumpling making classes in Sydney! For three hours, you and your partner will learn how to construct a variety of dumplings - both steamed and fried - with a delicious range of fillings and meats. What makes this one of the best gifts ideas for her or him is just how fun and casual the class is. 

Cooking classes are a great way to learn new skills and make for one of the most fun date night ideas in Sydney. Honka’s Bar + Eats creates a vibrant and social atmosphere for date night and on top of this, you can also add on an “all-you-can-drink” package to really dive headfirst into the evening. 

After the workshop is over, you and your partner will enjoy a dumpling feast like no other, savouring everything you’ve made. A quick and easy stroll to Rushcutter’s Bay, Honka’s Bar + Eats is one of the best date ideas not just for their incredible dumplings, but also because of their location. And being a short walk to King’s Cross station, you can really make the most of the drinks package. 

If you’re chasing something a little more comprehensive, Honka’s Bar + Eats also offers a dumpling and cocktail making class for you to make and shake your way to a great evening. These classes are exceptionally popular when it comes to gift experiences for couples, so we recommend booking well in advance. Discover our favourite 10th anniversary wedding gift ideas here.

Gift experiences for couples in your life

Wheel throwing

Looking to chase down gifts for couples celebrating their wedding anniversary in Sydney? If you’re not in the couple and hoping to offer a special treat to friends or family, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered too. There can be some cultural protocol over anniversary gifts for couples, as traditionally, each year can signify a particular present. 

If you’re looking to take the more traditional route, here’s a guide on the best things to do in Sydney for wedding anniversaries that follow a more old-school style. If, however, you’re chasing gift experiences for couples that laugh in the face of tradition, we’ve got plenty of gifts for couples that’ll bring them closer, regardless of the year they’re celebrating. 

Mandara Massage in Burwood offers massage workshops specifically designed for couples! Perfect if looking at gifts for him and her alike, it’s also one of the best gift experiences for couples you can offer! With so many things to do in Sydney, it can be tempting to chase anniversary gifts for couples that keep up with the speed of Australia’s biggest city, but sometimes you simply need to relax and unwind. 

Ideal for busy couples, this workshop is educational, intimate and most of all, relaxing. In this workshop, you’ll be shown how to utilise proper massage techniques to stimulate damaged muscles, ease scar tissue, and learn how to effectively “un-knot” cramps and muscle spasms. As far as gifts for couples, this is the gift that can keep on giving.

If you’re chasing gift experiences for couples that are a little less “handsy” but equally relaxing, pottery classes are a surefire hit. Thankfully, Sydney is absolutely filled with pottery workshops and ceramics classes, so you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to wedding anniversary gifts for couples. With such a variety of styles and techniques, you can choose a pottery class that best suits the couple you know. 

A good fail-safe, however, is Bettina Stefanovic’s mindful wheel throwing class for beginners. Available for both public and private sessions, pottery maestro Bettina will show you how to shape and form pottery using the pottery wheel. It’s a fun and practical class and one of the best gift ideas for the wife who needs some “me-time.” 

But maybe your gift experiences for couples need to offer something more engaging and exciting. Or maybe you're looking for wedding anniversary gifts by year in Australia that are a little out of the ordinary? Everyone’s different, and if you’re shopping around for gifts for a wife and husband duo who lives more on the wild side, see below for three full-on wedding gifts in Sydney who want something different. 

Ignite the passion with glassblowing workshops

Glassblowing

Fun, interactive and very very warm, this workshop is a full day of manipulating molten glass into a variety of different shapes and styles. With your very own blow-torch, this is one of the most outlandish date ideas on the market.

Get adventurous with urban beekeeping 

This is one of the best gift experiences for couples who love the great outdoors and trying something new. Guided by experienced beekeeper Gus German, your favourite couple will learn all about the history of bees and honey production, how to make and care for a hive and best of all, get up close and personal with these fascinating insects. This is one of the most unique experiences Sydney has to offer that is sure to impress. 

Learn life drawing with your partner

Paint n sip

If there’s one time to truly appreciate the human form, it’s your wedding anniversary. As far as gift ideas for her or him go, this one is very in your face, but in the best way possible. One of the more fun and flirty gifts for couples, you’ll learn how to draw the human body, using life models to truly immerse yourself in the workshop. This is one of the best gift experiences for couples who want to add some intimacy to their date night and explore their artistic side. 

Whatever you choose, there is a huge variety of wedding anniversary gifts for couples in Sydney, regardless of year, personal taste and tradition.
