Thoughtful Christmas Gift Ideas for Her in 2025

Thoughtful Christmas Gift Ideas for Her in 2025


By Courtenay Turner

With the festive season fast approaching, now’s the time to start thinking of thoughtful Christmas gifts for her. Whether you’re seeking something special for your mum, wife, girlfriend, partner or friend, giving a thoughtful gift is one of the best ways to show her you (truly) know her. With gift experiences for foodies, plant-lovers, art admirers and everyone in between, these Christmas gift ideas for women are guaranteed to make her smile. 

For the art-lover

If your leading lady is a creative soul who loves to express herself through art, craft or cricut, consider treating her to a painting class. From oil painting and watercolours to landscapes and abstract art, there are plenty of painting classes to choose from around Australia. This thoughtful gift idea will help her explore her artistic side and learn new skills in a relaxing and inspiring environment. The best part? She'll head home with a beautiful piece of artwork to put on display!

For the foodie

You’re in luck – finding Christmas gifts for women who love to cook, eat and bake is easy with our tasty collection of cooking classes. From Japanese street food to pasta and cannoli-making classes, we have a smorgasbord of workshops around Australia catering to every taste and dietary requirement. If she loves to eat at her local Thai restaurant, why not treat her to a Thai cooking class? Maybe she’s obsessed with the idea of making her own dumplings? We’ve got workshops for that, too! 

For the plant mum

If the woman you're shopping for is a lover of all things green and growing, consider gifting her a terrarium-making workshop. Terrariums are miniature gardens housed in glass containers that are seriously easy to maintain. Full of succulents, stones, mosses and other tiny plants, terrariums bring a beautiful burst of greenery to any space. Proud plant mums will love learning how to create their very own ecosystem in a calming and relaxing environment.

For those smitten with ceramics

Some women are certifiably obsessed with ceramics. Seriously, just open their kitchen cupboard and you’ll discover an enormous collection of cute coffee cups made by local artisans. (Not to mention the dainty jewellery dishes, decorative plates and handmade planter pots scattered throughout the rest of the house.) If you know one such woman, we’ve got some great Christmas ideas for her. From clay hand-building to wheel throwing, a gift experience from our range of relaxing pottery workshops is the way to her heart. With the help of a local teacher, she’ll learn to craft her own ceramic masterpiece from scratch – whether that’s (another) coffee cup, a breakfast bowl or a pinch pot. A pottery class is one of the coolest Christmas present for her; she’ll be addicted in the best kind of way!

For the eco-conscious queen

For ladies who like to keep their lives as low-tox as possible, a natural soap-making class is the perfect fit. This hands-on experience allows her to craft custom soaps using natural ingredients like essential oils and botanicals that are kind to the planet and her skin. If she’s all about buying natural cleaning products, clean skincare and organic produce, a natural soap-making class will align perfectly with her values. Plus, it’s a soothing activity that helps to promote mindfulness and relaxation. What better way to pick up a new skill?

For the self-care connoisseur

Does your girlfriend or partner have a cupboard full of serums, creams, masks and mists? Show her you know her with a DIY skincare class. In this hands-on workshop, she’ll learn how to personalise products to suit her skin type and unique concerns. Calming, insightful and fun, this glowing gift idea for her is perfect for the beauty-lover or skin-obsessed lady in your life. We promise she’ll appreciate the thoughtful intention behind this unique Christmas present.

For the bookworm

If you're searching for unusual Xmas gift ideas for her, consider a bookbinding class for the avid reader in your life. This creative gift idea allows her to explore the art of crafting her own books, adding a personal touch to her reading experience. She’ll learn to bind pages into beautiful covers, creating a keepsake for journalling and storytelling. Lovers of Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and Sarah J Maas’ A Court Of series will appreciate this Xmas gift idea.

For the aesthetically-obsessed

It’s not the most common Christmas gift idea for her, but it’s certainly a thoughtful one! Ideal for women who love design, crafting and DIY activities, a collage workshop offers her the chance to create an original artwork to frame and hang at home. Under the guidance of an experienced teacher, she’ll learn all about image composition, layering and cutting techniques to create a striking work of art. While she might appreciate all things art and design, she probably doesn’t consider herself an artist. Relaxed and easy-going, a contemporary collage class will encourage her to explore her own creativity in a zero-pressure environment.


Whether she's an artist at heart or a cooking enthusiast, these thoughtful Xmas gift ideas for women are a meaningful way to enrich her life. No matter which gift experience you give, she’ll be sure to make some memories, learn new skills and unwind as she lets her hands take over. When it comes to thoughtful Christmas gifts for women, it doesn’t get any better than that.
