I attended the Cupcake Masterclass recently at the home of the tutor, such a wonderful, welcoming environment to learn in, she was very knowledgeable, helpful and attentive to everyone’s different needs.

We decorated 6 cupcakes in 6 different styles + more

Introduction Silver Jewellery Workshop for Beginners
The workshop was a present from my wife as I have previously designed jewellery for her. I would thoroughly recommend trying this out as it is great fun, the day just disappeared and if you are lucky you'll come home with some beautiful creations. Liz is a great teacher. She clearly explains the science and the techniques we tried out. She demonstrates each technique in easy to follow chunks at a pace + more

I was given a voucher as a present and decided to do a Sauce cooking course at The Avenue Cookery School. Diana was a very engaging teacher. She gave us really good tips and solutions including recipes for sauces that were flexible and useful for so many dishes. She explain the logic of the cooking process without prescribed instructions. Lovely relaxed afternoon and lunch.

Pottery Making Taster Workshop
The perfect gift experience. A friendly atmosphere for both groups and individuals. Very cool space and chilled atmosphere. Amazing teachers who were encouraging and helped at each stage if needed. Great value for money in learning the basics, using the wheel was a highlight and very excited to see the results after the kiln!

French Baking Class: Petits Gateaux
I was brought this class for my 50th birthday by my friends, and what a lovely present it was. Corinne made me feel welcome the minute I arrived. Such a lovely lady and her knowledge of French cuisine was 2nd to none. I came away with superb looking cakes that tasted amazing and with the confidence that I would be able to make them again. Thank you Corinne for a great a course. Bravo

This workshop was a Christmas present for my partner, as we were supposed to attend one whilst we were on holiday in Japan, but couldn’t. We loved it!

We really liked our finished pieces and I bought the kit to finish the piece I brought + more

This was a present for my boyfriend and we finally did it this Saturday - it was wonderful! The little studio, tucked in the back of a lovely Hungarian Restaurant has a relaxed at-home feel. We came in and got straight to work with Mihaly giving a quick yet instructive intro and all the help and tips we needed along the way. We both ended up making 6 pieces, which clearly showed our progression as + more

I booked this class for a birthday present for a friend and three of us went. The teacher was really nice and helpful, she spread her time evenly, and she answered all our questions. There was enough time for one object repair and someone had enough time to fix his own bowl as well. All materials were provided and of great quality, and the ceramics are upcycled. The venue was very nice, just a bit + more
Dr May Myanmar
Excellent gift idea if wanting to do something more creative! Really enjoyed the class where we made mosaic mirrors. I only wish we had time to have some of the snacks as we were too focused on trying to finish the pieces. Depending on the idea for your mosaic piece you should factor in time for executing it as I think a few of us were focused alot of detail and trying to make our pieced look great + more

Why are experience days a great choice for mums?
Mums can be hard to please sometimes, so we understand why you might be contemplating the best option when it comes to experience gifts for mum. After all, gift experiences for mum are the ideal option for anyone looking for something extra special for their favourite lady – who already seems to have everything she wants! These mum-friendly activities offer a unique and memorable way to show your appreciation. Unlike traditional gifts that might be forgotten, experiences create lasting memories. For busy mums who often prioritise their families, a gift experience provides a chance to take a break and enjoy something special.
So, which one should you opt for? We believe that mums deserve a little adventure and a little bit relaxation, so we think the activities that combine both of these elements are the best experience days for mum. That's where experiences like pottery classes, flower arranging workshops, cooking sessions, and candle making classes come in. It's a chance for them to learn a new skill (enter: adventure), whilst still unwinding. As she stirs up a fragrant storm in the kitchen, moulds her favourite new mug or pours a bespoke luxury scented candle, she'll be transported to another world full of adventure and relaxation.
What's even better is that many of these experiences are designed to be shared. So, not only does mum get to enjoy the experience, but it also becomes a bonding moment for the family. And here's a thoughtful touch: gift experiences are environmentally friendly. They don't clutter up the house and they often support local creators. In a nutshell, gift experiences are a heartfelt way to celebrate mums and all that they do. It's a chance for them to explore, relax, and create wonderful memories that will be cherished for years to come.
