A woman reaches a certain age when she no longer wants trinkets and bath towels as gifts. After all, who wants more items to dust or wash? If you’re looking for a personal and meaningful Gift for a special lady in your life, it may be time to switch things up.

Instead of shopping for the usual perfume, cute ornament, funny mug or comfy slippers, why not opt for an experience gift? Whether you choose a pottery lesson or one of the dermal fillers Perth ladies are so excited about, 2023 should be the year you add a new edge to your gift-giving rituals.

What is an Experience Gift?

As the name implies, experience gifts are instances where you rather gift someone with an encounter rather than a gift bag full of “stuff.” Experience gifts can be anything from a ticket to enjoy a wine tour to a skydiving session. With the various options available, you’ll easily be able to find an experience gift to suit any personality.

Experience Gifts Around Australia Worth Considering

If you’re looking for the perfect gift for your mother, sister, wife, special friend or even grandmother, our experts have compiled a list of fun experiences for the lady in your life.

         1. All Day Barista Workshop for Beginners—Gold Coast

For the coffee lover in your life, an all-day course coffee workshop on the Gold Coast is the ideal gift. Pro baristas provide lessons on the following:

• Making speciality coffees such as espresso shots
• Simple tips for making three foundation latte art designs
• Milk etching and frothing
• Latest barista trends

A barista certificate of attendance is also often issued. If your budget allows, a coffee maker might be a wonderful accompanying gift for this experience!

         2. Organic Silver Jewellery Making Class—Adelaide

Ladies who enjoy making their own jewellery or working with silver clay will definitely enjoy this experience gift. In a beginner-friendly class your special lady will learn to creatively set stones in silver clay. Stones that she’ll have the chance to work with usually include quartz and cubic zirconia.

         3. Whisky Tasting, Tour and Lunch Experience—Tasmania

If a whisky tour is on your special lady’s bucket list, then an engaging tour in Tasmania is worth considering. There are tours of working distilleries with a range of whiskies available for tasting while enjoying a wonderful Tasmanian meal. The good news is that if whisky isn’t your lady’s preference, the whisky can often be swapped out for gin and liqueurs. 

         4. A Cosmetic Skin Treatment—Perth 

Depending on the age of your special lady, she might secretly be wishing for a gift that makes her look as young as she still feels. It may be an excellent idea to gift her with the wrinkle relaxers Perth residents love indulging in.

These treatments are designed to reduce the signs of ageing by smoothing out the facial muscles that cause lines and wrinkles. Add a basket with a few facial creams and pamper goodies for her to spoil herself at home after the treatment. 

         5. Candle Making Class—Perth

If the lady in your life enjoys candles, you more than likely include candles with her usual gifts. Instead of doing that this year, why not gift her with the experience of making her own candles?

A creative workshop can teach techniques, tips and tricks to create a few beautiful candles. Other items available to add magic to her crafted candles often include healing crystals, locally sourced scents and luxurious golden wax. 

         6. Seafood BBQ Cooking Class—Canberra 

For the lady who prefers cooking and more specifically barbecuing, a BBQ seafood class is a wonderful way to learn how to cook restaurant-quality seafood. This is what’s on offer in such a class:

• Learn how to cook/BBQ mouth-watering seafood which includes BBQ king prawns, BBQ squid and salmon
• Tips and tricks to understand the importance of marinades and rubs
• Create salad to complement any seafood dish

         7. Turkish Mosaic Lamp Class—Perth 

A class teaching the wonderful and creative art of mosaic is something that can easily become a new hobby and an excellent way to stay busy. A beginner-friendly class teaches the learner how to make a Turkish lamp from start to finish. 

Aside from learning how to create a lamp, there’s also guidance on how to mix colours in general mosaic projects. To add to the Turkish experience, the learner will also get complimentary snacks.

Final Thought

Many older people agree that as you age, experiences are more important than gifts that you may or may not use. With the different experience gifts on offer across Australia, it’s super easy to find something fun and memorable that not only suits your budget but also your location. Give the special lady in your life a wonderful experience that she’ll remember forever!
