Why You Should Give Experience Gift Vouchers in 2025

Why You Should Give Experience Gift Vouchers in 2025


By Tiffany Fung

Thinking of what to get for your loved ones in 2025? Try experience gift cards in Australia. With a wide range of experience gifts to choose from, you can find the perfect experience for your giftee. Once found, simply buy a gift voucher for that experience or you can opt to get a generic gift card for a pre-determined amount and let your giftee choose the experience for themselves. From cocktail making classes to tufting workshops, show your loved ones how much you care by helping them uncover new passions, skills and hobbies. And they don't have to go alone! Our experiences are perfect to do together and you can even get a gift card for two for some well-deserved quality time with family and friends.

Plus, experience gift vouchers make great last-minute presents when the holidays sneak up on you. Our vouchers are delivered via email, requiring no shipping and zero wrapping paper! So this year, give your friends and family an adventure gift card they can redeem for exciting local experiences. Want to know more? Read on to learn why experience gift vouchers are thoughtful, meaningful presents that keep giving long after the celebration.

Gifting unique experiences sends a thoughtful message

Pasta making class

Instead of always getting that cliche present for Mum, Dad or your best friend, give an experience gift voucher instead! It gives them freedom and flexibility, and sends a thoughtful message to your loved ones, where they can create special memories with you. Whether it's a Turkish mosaic lamp class in Sydney, a paint and sip workshop in Melbourne or an Italian cooking class in Brisbane, experience gifts help encourage your recipient to step outside their comfort zone and embark on an exciting local adventure. Plus, these memories will last far longer than regular material gifts, meaning they can always look back on them for years to come.

Your giftee can learn new skills or discover a creative hobby

Cocktail making

Our experience gift vouchers present the perfect opportunity for your loved one to uncover a new passion in 2025. Did you know that engaging in hobbies and fun activities is good for mental health? It's known as 'purposeful activities' and it's a great way to give people meaning and self-worth. So turn your loved ones' creative dreams into a reality with experience gift vouchers. Maybe they've always wanted to learn how to paint, make resin art, or join a wheel throwing class? They can tap into their inner creativity, have fun and maybe even discover a new hobby. Or perhaps they'd love to learn how to make cocktails, brew kombucha, or cook like a pro chef. Our cooking classes in Australia help your giftee gain valuable hands-on experience under expert guidance. Once they discover these new talents, they’ll be ready to show them off to their friends and family! No matter what creative pursuit or cooking class they choose, our experience gift ideas help inspire them to try something new and uncover a passion they’ve always wanted to try.

Experience vouchers help them embark on a fun adventure with loved ones

Flower arranging

Looking to celebrate a special occasion with your friends and family? Gift an experience voucher that helps bring loved ones together! Surprise your parents with a pasta making date night or wine tasting experience to enjoy as a couple. For your children, opt for gift vouchers for flower arranging classes or a family cupcake decorating day, where you can spend some laughter-filled quality time. Even sending a digital gift card to your faraway best friend, where they can embark on a sourdough bread baking adventure and help reinforce your bond despite the distance. Whatever you choose, these gift cards for men and women help you connect with your loved ones on a whole new level and make treasured memories.

The best part? You can also give your giftee a voucher valid for two, allowing them to choose who joins the fun. Whether they opt for a Japanese cooking class date night or take their BFF on a cocktail mixology session, it becomes so much more special when shared. So gift an experience voucher on their special day and put it into words (or experiences) how much they mean to you!

You can help boost their wellbeing with our experiences

Kintsugi

An experience voucher presents the perfect way to help your loved one disconnect from their screens and instead allow them to relax, recharge and refocus. Treat them to an essential oils workshop in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and beyond, where they can unwind while creating custom blends to take home. For the pottery lover, gift a voucher for a hand building workshop so they can sink their hands into clay while indulging in some quality ‘me-time.’ Perhaps, help your adventurous friends explore their local neighbourhood through a smartphone photography course. Even unique experiences like Kintsugi, plant-based cooking, or jewellery making can help boost their wellbeing, where they embrace the present moment and are inspired to discover their artistic side. With so many rejuvenating experiences to choose from, your thoughtful voucher gives them the opportunity to take time out for themselves. It's an experience gift that truly keeps on giving by helping boost their wellbeing all year long.

Gift vouchers are great last-minute gift ideas

Terrarium

If you've missed the mail cut-off dates or need an easy, grab-and-go gift, our experience vouchers save the day. With a digital gift card, you can wait until the very last minute and instantly email it to your recipient. No wrapping is required! It's the perfect present for the friend who loves spontaneity or the hard-to-shop-for relative. Our experience gift vouchers also work for office Secret Santa exchanges, housewarmings, bridal showers, birthdays and any other special occasion. Whether you’re looking for fun gift voucher ideas for her or Christmas vouchers for the whole family, there are exciting options tailored for foodies, self-care fiends, couples, teens, seniors and everyone in between. Your giftee is sure to appreciate an exciting local experience to look forward to, and they'll never think it was last-minute!

This year, surprise your loved ones with experience gifts that create joyful memories, uncover new passions, build stronger relationships, boost wellbeing and deliver at the very last minute. What could be better than that? Whatever your giftee decides, our adventure gift cards will help make their day feel extra meaningful and special, especially when it’s delivered with love.
