All of the items in these gift baskets are either from one of the stands here at MamaAfrika.com, or they are items which Mama Afrika has gotten from other companies which believe in the same things she does: respect for the producer, fair wages and good working conditions and a host of other ideas which make fair trade so great.

The contents are put into a beautiful basket from Uganda or Lesotho and raffia is used as a filler. The basket is wrapped up in a shimmery see-through fabric which you can re-use.. No waste... every part of the basket is environmentally friendly and you will find they are absolutely gorgeous.

If you prefer a custom designed gift basket:

  1. Select all the contents and the basket you love most, then come back to the basket stand and "click on make it a basket please". Mama will then package it all up for just a penny in a design you're sure to love. Or...
  2. Select the items of your choice and let Mama select the basket she thinks will best compliment your items. You can do so by going to the bottom of this page and clicking on "Choose my basket Mama". There will be a discounted cost of $15 for the basket.

Select the items of your choice and if you'd like Mama to gift wrap it, Mama will select a beautiful hand woven basket from either Lesotho or Uganda which will best compliment the items you have chosen to fill the basket with.

The $15 charge includes the basket of Mama's choice, raffia filler and a pack of potpourri to add the sweet scents of summer.

Add the first choice to your shopping basket if you would like to have Mama choose the basket which best fits your selection of items. Add the second choice to your shopping basket for just a penny, to let Mama know you've selected your own basket but would like her to wrap it all up as a gift basket. The 1 cent charge will serve as proof that Mama has received your request.

If you would like to mail the gift basket directly to the receiver and want to add a note, you can do so in the "notes" section during the ordering/payment process.
