5 out-of-the-box Christmas gifts to pick up on the Central Coast

3 min read

No socks or chocolates here!   A gift voucher for pole dancing classes I Peach Pole Studio When Christmas time rolls around, ladies all over the world seem to end up with the same gifts every year – perfume, pyjamas, bath bombs, and candles…oh so many candles. Sure, they’re always appreciated, but there’s only so many places you can put a candle before it starts looking like a séance. So, why not give the lady in your life something a little different this year? Peach Pole Studio offer gift vouchers for pole dancing, burlesque and dancing classes for ladies of all ages, all skills and all fitness levels! Located at Erina and Tuggerah, the classes are designed to be fun and relaxed, while also pushing you outside of your comfort zone. Check out their class offerings here! A custom transformative massage I Aurore Holistic Health Let’s be honest here – we all love Christmas, but boy…it sure is stressful. We’ve got to contend with shopping during the busiest time of year, planning a full Christmas lunch menu, and trying to wrap dozens of presents with wrapping paper that just does NOT want to cooperate.  So, it’s safe to say that a gift that gives us a little time to relax after the holiday madness would be MUCH appreciated. Aurore Holistic Health offers up a 2-hour transformative massage designed specifically for the needs of your body. Different massage techniques and essential oils are used to customise the treatment and target specific issues for a healing and transformative experience.  Find out more here. A tasty cheese making experience I Little Creek Cheese Christmas gifts are all about showing the people in your life that you love them – and there’s no better way to prove your love than with food! A perfect gift for the foodie in your life, Little Creek Cheese offer up a hands-on cheesemaking experience at their store and production facility in the Wyong Milk Factory! The two-and-a-half-hour class includes a tour of the factory, tastings of ten different cheeses and lessons in making ricotta and paneer! Find out more and book here. A heart-pumping quad bike adventure I Glenworth Valley Outdoor Adventures With all those barbies, toy cars and plastic Infinity Stone gloves loaded into the back of his sleigh, we don’t think Santa is going to be able to squeeze in a quad bike for your loved one this year. But don’t worry – you can still make their quad biking Christmas wish come true! Glenworth Valley offer epic quad biking adventures that let you zip, wind and weave your way through Central Coast bushland. The 1.5-hour adventure covers around 15km of terrain, and will see you whiz along bush trails and zoom through water crossing, as well as test your skills on the purpose built quad biking course! Find out more and book here. Tickets to the hit musical Mamma Mia I Laycock Street Theatre We all love a good Christmas carol, but damn – do they take a long time to get out of your head. You’ll be getting ready for Valentine’s Day and suddenly you’ll start humming ‘Frosty the Snowman’ over and over again. Well, you know what they say – the best way to get a song out of your head is to get another one stuck in there! The hit musical Mamma Mia will be landing at Laycock Street Theatre in March of next year featuring all your favourite catchy ABBA tunes that are guaranteed to remove any left-over Christmas carols! One note of ‘Dancing Queen’ and that verse of ‘Jingle Bells’ that’s been repaying in your mind since December 26th will be gone in a heartbeat! Check out more info and buy tickets here.
