Why experience gifts are more than a gift

Experience gifts

Do you know someone who always has a list of hobbies sitting on their wishlist? If yes, inspire them to try something new! Whether it’s picking up a paintbrush or unleashing their inner chef, it’s about time they take a break and do something they really love. After all, when they spend an hour a day or even just an hour a week dedicated to themselves, it can totally improve their wellbeing.

Our art classes and workshops are designed to help them take time out of daily life and relax and unwind in a safe and friendly space. By switching off and sinking their hands into a crafty activity, it will help bring out their creative side and add some self-care to their daily routine.  Not only will experience gifts build their confidence, but it could also ignite a spark and see your loved one start a brand new hobby this year. 

We all know mental health is something we all need to take more seriously, and whilst hobbies help them learn new skills, keeping the brain active and building inner confidence from within should be our priority. When they're doing something they love, you’ll notice an improvement in their mental healththey will feel much more happier, positive and energetic in life. Plus, if they bring someone along for the fun, this will also help them strengthen relationships with the people who truly matter in their life, which is why experience gifts are more than just the gift you’ve giving them. 

Find unique experience gifts for everyone

Our experience gifts are designed for the absolute beginner so they don’t need to worry about having any previous experience. Expect to unwind from daily life and have fun learning a new skill. They'll laugh, love and smile more than ever during our empowering presents from Australia.
