It’s Black Friday and time to think about what kind of Holiday gifts to get for family and friends. To avoid gifting the same old same or dust catchers, give something unique that will be loved and appreciated. Or if you don’t want to buy things for others – just buy something nice for yourself :-). It’s always good to have some inspiration, thus I created this list of beautiful Africa-inspired gift ideas. Check it out below – comment and let me know which one you like best!
The Urban Maasai
Maasai in the city: the Urban Maasai brings you beautiful infinity scarves, handmade beaded necklaces, bangles, throw overs and headscarves – all inspired by Maasai culture and fabrics. So if you want to make a bold statement this holiday get the long beaded Shanga necklace with the matching bracelet! Ooops this is a gift guide – but hey giving gifts to yourself is super important, too. I gave myself the gift of the infinity scarf with a purple print and I feel like a film star whenever wearing it.
