Our 40th birthday ideas are held by excellent local Australian teachers and makers who know how to get the party started. Expect to laugh, love and smile as you make amazing memories with your loved ones this birthday at some of the best things to do in Sydney and Melbourne. Sit back and relax as our classes are designed for beginners so you don’t need to worry about having any previous experience.
If you’re looking to go the extra mile for 40th birthday present ideas and you’ll something for everyone. Whether you’re looking for birthday presents for her, birthday present for him or for anyone, we recommend making the absolute most of the day with multiple activities. From zen-like creative classes to get the party started with pottery classes or terrarium classes, end the day with paint and sip classes or cocktail making class.
How to throw an unforgettable 40th birthday party ideas
Make it an unforgettable one and plan the big day with a series of birthday activities. We have a huge range of classes which suit both men and women so everyone will enjoy the activities involved. You’ll also be able to host an online or in-person 40th birthday party with these activities as well.
In the morning, start the day with an easy-going creative class such as a terrarium class. We’ve all wondered how terrariums are made and now is your chance to get creative and build your very own custom made jungle to put proudly on your work desk. Everyone will love this birthday party activity because it will mean you’ll all need to step outside of your comfort zones and learn a new skill together.
At lunchtime, we recommend taking part in one of the amazing cooking classes. With thousands of cuisines to choose from, learn how to make pasta from scratch, try your hand at learning how to cook Italian or learn how to make dumplings. You’ll need to work together to create an amazing restaurant-worthy dish you’ll all sit down together to eat at the end of the class. Obviously include some wine to get the party started. After lunch, take part in our fun paint and sip classes. As you’ll learn how to recreate a modern masterpiece, paint and sip classes are really popular amongst birthday parties because it’s all about having fun and relaxing with a glass of wine on the other hand. Don’t take it seriously and watch your masterpiece come to life!
In the evening, continue the celebrations with a fun cocktail making class! Everyone will love learning how to make cocktails and for the non-drinkers, you’ll learn how to make classic mocktail too!
