Out-of-the-box gifts for kids

Published on 23-11-2014

There’s no way around it, kids just love presents. To be honest, I think we all do but then maybe that just goes to show that we’re all still big kids on the inside.

In our recent blog about African toys we wrote about some great gift ideas for younger children. Kids appreciate the simplicity and whimsy of a brightly coloured African toy; you can spark their imaginations and open a whole new world of play with our animal-themed soft toys, miniature soapstone sculptures and wooden animal toy cars.

We have plenty of uniquely hand-crafted gifts for older children and teenagers too. For the animal lovers there are brightly-coloured skeleton Tinga Tinga giraffe sculptures, animal print pencils, soapstone bowls and t-shirts with wildlife designs and key holders in the form of birds, elephants, zebras and crocodiles.

Musical instruments are a favourite for any age or skill level. We’ve never met anyone yet who can’t play calabash shakers – they’re like maracas in amazing shapes with animal head handles or covered with stringed cowrie shells. The more advanced players will love creating tribal rhythms on an African drum, or if a full-sized instrument is too noisy for your household you could always go for a drum key ring?

Sometimes the smallest gift is the best, especially when it’s jewellery. We have everything from brightly coloured bead necklaces and bracelets to bone pendants on soft leather. Soapstone boxes and bowls are the perfect way to store these African treasures, from love heart shapes to a miniature Africa shaped box with a puzzle key.

Our brand new range of t-shirts in sizes for age 4-12 come in a rainbow range of colours will appeal to kids no matter their favourite colour. Our favourite is the t-shirt that has the big five plus a few extra safari animals as well as a beginner’s guide to Swahili. Or for kids who embrace a ‘don’t worry be happy’ vibe, you won’t be able to resist a Hakuna Matata t-shirt.

We have a whole area in our online store that’s dedicated to gifts for kids but if you’re having trouble choosing, there’s no need to panic! In today’s world of empowerment, the only thing a kid loves more than a gift is a gift voucher.

A gift voucher is the modern day equivalent of a card with money inside. Remember the excitement of wondering how you’d spend that birthday or Christmas money? The anticipation and excitement of feeling so grown-up was almost as good as the purchase itself. When the children in your life browse the Motherland Curios online store they’re sure to find a treasure that’s just right for them. The best thing is that the excitement happens all over again when their order arrives in the mail addressed to them.

Whether you’re a child-sized kid or just a kid at heart, Motherland Curios has a unique gift that’s just right for you.
