Last year when I opened up Moonpig and made my mum a personalised card, I felt pretty good about myself, but it didn’t quite feel like enough to repay the years of upbringing, let alone carrying me around in her body for 9 months. It’s time to up the ante this year, and some of the best (and most importantly, memorable) gifts, come from experiences.

So here’s a list of the best experience based gifts that Funzing has the offer, from make-up workshops to moroccan dinner parties, whatever your mum’s tastes, we have you covered.

Organic Soap Making Workshop

WHEN: Multiple Dates WHERE: SW London

This handmade soap workshop teaches you a simple ‘melt and pour’ process. Explore your creative side by creating and customising your very own soap, completely tailored to your dermatological needs and aroma itches. You will decide everything, from the colour right down to which essential oils and fragrances to infuse, for a fun creative experience that is perfect for kids and adults.

You will also be able to choose the properties for your dermatological needs; from an array of herbs and flowers grown in China, dried and shipped for your dermatological needs. These are perfect if you are looking for an aromatic soap, anti-ageing, or have any skin disorders.

Our soap is completely organic as well being created in a traditional way rather than in a commercial way.
