Thank you Corinne for a great a course. Bravo

I had bought this class as a birthday gift for my girlfriend. It was everything I hoped it would be! Alma was extremely friendly and knowledgeable.

It was a really fun activity and we have now created something beautiful + more

I got to go with my friend to this course as a birthday present from January so I was really excited and counting down to the day!

We both ended up making 6 pieces, which clearly showed our progression as + more

The venue was very nice, just a bit + 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.
