1

A Silversmithing Experience

This silversmithing workshop in a cosy Joo Chiat attic lets your loved one craft their own sterling silver jewellery from scratch, guided step-by-step by a skilled artisan. Instead of just receiving something pretty, they’ll walk away wearing a piece they made themselves - a lasting reminder of the experience (and of you). ✨

Make Traditional Kueh with a Passionate Collector

If you have a friend who loves heritage, baking, or discovering the hidden meaning behind everyday things, this traditional kueh workshop will make a thoughtful gift.

Hosted in a cosy home by a passionate collector who’s spent 20 years hunting down rare pastry moulds from across Asia, this isn’t your typical baking class. They’ll sip tea, taste handmade Peranakan kueh, and learn the wild, surprising stories behind the moulds used to shape them. The best part? They’ll make their own kueh from scratch and walk away with not just new skills, but a deeper appreciation of the culture behind every bite.

3

Cocktail Making with Award-Winning Bartenders

Cocktail making is a classic gift that anyone would love (unless they don't drink of course!). Here you'll get to learn from Singapore's top bartenders how to mix cocktails masterfully. Afterwards they'll also enjoy drinking what they create ✌🏻 We promise it'll be a fun (and tipsy!) afternoon out.

Personalised Perfume Making

If your friend loves scents & perfumes, how about a personalised perfume workshop?

6

Be A Tattoo Artist For A Day

Got a tatted friend who’s always hunting for their next cool, underground experience? This 3-hour pseudo tattoo jam session lets them step inside a real tattoo studio and try their hand at using a rotary machine - learning line work and shading techniques from a real tattoo artist!

12

Have a Private Italian Feast

Got a friend who’s always hunting for the next “hidden gem” dinner spot? Gift them this secret Italian feast tucked inside a lush Balinese-style villa (it’s the kind of place you almost don’t want to share!)

Singapore Gift Experiences FAQs

How do Gift Experiences work?

It's easy - just pick a gift experience, send it to your loved one at your selected date, and they will receive an email on the date you have selected! Gift experiences have a 1 year expiry so your recipient can choose any date during that year to redeem the gift experience.

You'll also be copied on the gift email that the recipient receives so you know exactly when they have received their gift! :)

When will the gift be sent?

You can select the date the gift is sent during checkout. The gift will be emailed to the recipient at 8am on the chosen date. The one-year validity period starts from this date.

How do I know when the gift has been sent?

You’ll be copied on the gift email sent to the recipient, so you’ll know exactly when it’s been delivered.

Can gift experiences be exchanged for cash?

Gift cards are all about creating fun and meaningful memories! They cannot be exchanged for cash. But if your recipient prefers another experience, we can swap out their experience for a gift card.

What if they don’t like the experience I pick?

Don’t worry! Most gifts can be exchanged for another experience or turned into a gift card. So if you picked pizza-making but they secretly prefer pasta… they’re covered.
