Get her a paint and sip class with a twist
On the search for unique things to do in Melbourne? These paint and sip in the dark classes are a great gift for your girlfriend to have some fun while getting creative. Hosted by Paint For Fun, the purpose of these classes is about "much more than doing a perfect painting" according to Paint For Fun owner and artist, Rav Chai, "It's about self-expression and just how you see the world from your eyes. Also it gives the group a different perspective on their colleague, on their classmates, on their friends, because we can all look at one thing, but to completely different results". Paint and sip classes are one of the best gifts for her as they appeal to all ages and interests. Whether you’re brainstorming ideas for your girlfriend’s 30th birthday or looking for something special to celebrate your 10th wedding anniversary, paint and sip classes will go down a treat. Painting and drinking are always more fun with friends, so why not purchase a few classes and encourage your girlfriend to invite some of her nearest and dearest along?
She'll love playing with clay and connecting with her besties
Looking for fun things to do in Melbourne that your girlfriend will love? Clay hand building classes make perfect gifts for ladies who aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty. There are loads of unique classes to choose from, including a ceramics class that teaches you how to make your very own boob vessel vases – a guaranteed hit with the ladies! Run by Guild of Objects, the studio is meant to make people "feel like they're coming into my home. I do want people to feel that they are coming into a really beautiful space that is rocking, the feedback we get is people love it".
As well as mastering the art of clay sculpting, there’s plenty of time to chat with friends and share a laugh. It’s this social aspect that makes these cute gifts for your girlfriend a sure-fire winner with your other half. If your girl is feeling a little burnt out at work or getting stressed in the lead-up to your wedding, clay hand building classes are a great way to relax and unwind for a hens party or bridal shower. Creating beautiful works of art with your hands is incredibly therapeutic, meaning your girlfriend will leave feeling utterly Zen. Plus, she’ll have a cute ceramic to show for it too! Looking for more feel-good gifts for her to boost health and happiness? We've got you covered.
Kickstart her girl's night out with cocktail making
Is a girl’s night really complete without a few craft cocktails? Didn’t think so. If your girlfriend and her crew are all about hard-hitting espresso martinis or salty margaritas, cocktail making classes are the perfect choice. These gift experiences for women are some of the most fun things to do in Sydney and they’ll even take you behind the scenes of some of the city’s hippest local bars. As well as sipping cocktails with her closest friends, mixology masterclasses are the perfect way to break the ice on hen nights when the mother-in-law is mingling with the maid of honour for the first time.
For lovers based in Sydney, this cocktail making class with pizza and tapas in Surry Hills is guaranteed to be the start of a memorable night. With delicious nibbles, unique twists on classic cocktails and a convenient location inside a bar, this activity is perfect for fun groups in Sydney. Whether you're planning a birthday party for her, gifting her a night out with the ladies or helping the maid of honour come up with hens party ideas, this class belongs on the itinerary! Just ask our community!
"I was gifted a cocktail making class with lunch. Aswar was our ever so friendly and enthusiastic teacher. The venue was inviting, cosy and exciting at the same time. Materials and ingredients were superb and top notch. During my cocktail class I learnt that a little extra ingredient preparation makes for an extra layer of taste and palette explosion. I absolutely recommend this class for the overall friendliness of the staff, exceptional ambience and value for money. The quality of the overall experience is what I liked the most."
