All that she wants

Published on 15-12-2014

Girlfriends, partners, sisters, wives, mums, daughters, nieces, grandmas and aunties - we all have females in our lives and we love to spoil them. In our lucky country it sometimes seems like everyone already has everything they need, which is why individually handcrafted African gifts for her will definitely get her attention, whoever she is.

From African art and crafts to African fashion design, even the girl who has everything doesn’t have one of these artefacts because each piece is one-of-a-kind. The passion of our craftsmen and craftswomen is reflected in each handcrafted item of African craft, from a soapstone sculpted treasure box to a carved wooden mask.

Whether she’s young or old or in between, it’s about putting thought into it and choosing something that’s right for her. Although of course the gift itself is important and will always be appreciated, the choices you make will also tell her that you know and care about her.

For example, if she loves animals you can bring the safari to her with a sculpture or bronze casting of a lion, giraffe, elephant or rhino. If it’s animal print that takes her fancy, why not give her a scarf or bag in zebra or leopard print?

Give the gift of girlpower with a bronze casting of a Maasai woman depicting strength and femininity, or a wooden sculpture of a Maasai family to represent her love of family. Our carved wooden bowls and utensils will come to life in the hands of a hostess with the mostess.

It’s hard to find a girl who doesn’t love flowers, so a vase is the gift that keeps on giving because you can buy her flowers to put in it again and again. Our soapstone vases and bowls are a work of art in themselves, beautiful even when you forget to buy flowers.

It’s hard to go wrong with African jewellery if you pick a bracelet or necklace with beads in her favourite colour, or do some research and tell her about the meaning behind the colours in the beadwork. If you really want to make her day give her a compliment along with the gift, like: ‘You always look beautiful in that dress, and I thought these earrings would go with it perfectly’.

Art is the ultimate expression of beauty and a painting by one of our African artists is a stunning way to tell your lady she’s the beauty in your life. Think about her interior decor and choose a painting that will complement the colours or energy she chooses in her surroundings.

You may be so spoilt for choice when you browse through our online store for a gift to spoil your loved one that a gift voucher is the best option. Make it even more special by delivering it with the message that she can choose a gift that’s one-of-a-kind, just like her.
