The ones that feel genuinely personal rather than plucked from a gift guide. Soho Day Date + All You Can Eat Dim Sum combines a walking tour through Soho’s extraordinary music history with an all-you-can-eat dim sum feast — it’s one of our most talked-about gifts, from £59. Wild Life Drawing for Two brings real animals into a studio and teaches you to draw them properly, with a professional illustrator, from £88. And Riverboat Cruise with Afternoon Tea in Oxford is exactly as good as it sounds — punts, scones, river views, from £64. These are for women who’d rather have a story to tell than another thing to find space for.
Vintage China Upcycling Workshop takes old china (bring your own or use theirs) and transforms it through hand-painting and decoupage techniques. Naked Neon Life Drawing is for the liberal-minded of your friends (in other words, most people) — neon paint, live model, proper illustration technique, from £19 each. Sip and Paint is a relaxed, guided painting session requiring and no previous artistic experience, from £64 for two. And Learn to Swing Dance in a Day — a full day’s introduction to Lindy Hop for two people who’ve never done it — is one of the most joyful experiences on the site, from £90.
Design Your Own Fragrance at The Perfume Studio is a two-hour session in which you build a signature scent from scratch — you leave with a bottle you’ve made and the formula so that you can reorder it later. Hear My Song experience takes her into a proper recording studio to release her inner Beyonce/Kylie/Lulu for just £179. And Fine Dining by Bus, six courses served on a proper moving London bus while the city goes past the window; one of those things which sound improbable until you’re on it. None of these are on any other gift site. That’s rather the point.
Several. Naked Neon Life Drawing starts from £19. Comedy Night Out in London — proper stand-up for two at a top London venue — is £34. Funky Cheese + Shoreditch Day Date (cheese board, wine, a Shoreditch wander and a very 1970s cellar bar) starts from £49. And Cinnamon Kitchen at Battersea Power Station 2-Course Lunch is £49 for two at one of London’s better-located restaurant openings.

Because we don’t curate by gender; we curate by quality. Nothing on this page is here because it’s pink or because it involves pampering. It’s here because it’s brilliant, independent, and run by someone who pours their heart into it: a professional illustrator, a swing dance instructor, a fragrance expert, a recording studio producer. These are experiences with a person at the centre of them. That’s what makes them worth giving.
Nothing here is because it’s pink. It’s here because it’s brilliant.
