Kwanzaa gifts can be hard to find. Kwanzaa is celebrated by many each year, but Christmas is the more commercially popular holiday by far. But that doesn’t mean that you have to pass of traditional Christmas fare as Kwanzaa gifts. Many online companies sell and even specialize in Kwanzaa gifts. Here are some of the best places to find Kwanzaa gifts online.
www.gifts.com
If you’ve never visited this site before, you should. They specialize in gifts and you can specify the occasion, recipient, personality, and category. They also have great Kwanzaa gifts, over 200 in fact. You’re sure to find the perfect Kwanzaa gift with so many choices which include books, sculpture and jewelry. I especially like the traditional Africa language learning cds and the Zawadi African tea sets that help bring relief to Kenyan orphans.
www.findgift.com
This is another multipurpose gift website that offers a wide selection of Kwanzaa gifts. 129 to be exact. This site links to products offered by a variety of retailers. For example, they have a beautiful Kwanzaa table centerpiece from www.1-800-flowers.com which makes an ideal Kwanzaa gift. But I particularly like the handmade and decorated cutlery from Disadvantaged African Artists. They are beautiful as well as socially conscious, and they’re only $20. Kwanzaa has more than one gift giving day, so keeping your budget in mind is important.
shop.indegoafrica.org
This is one of my favorite websites for African themed gifts. Not only do they have great Kwanzaa gifts, but they are a non-profit organization. These products are made by African women who depend on the proceeds from their craft for survival. Indego Africa makes sure that 100% of the profits made from these great Kwanzaa gifts is returned to the African women that make ornamental baskets, platters and coasters available on their site. If you choose not to purchase one of their items, consider donating to them in the name of your Kwanzaa gift recipient.
www.cookiesbydesign.com
Who doesn’t love cookies? These guys offer really nicely decorated cookie bouquets. They come with a standard Kwanzaa gift basket with cookies in the shape of important Kwanzaa symbols, or you can custom design a Kwanzaa themed cookie basket to say anything you want. If you have a friend that celebrates Kwanzaa and is also really into cookies and candy, then this is your once stop destination for all your Kwanzaa needs.
www.doglovergiftbaskets.com
I couldn’t resist putting these guys on the list. After all, pets are family members too and they appreciate Kwanzaa gifts as much as people do. These guys offer the cutest little gift baskets for cats and dogs whose family’s celebrate Kwanzaa. It really shows that you care when you don’t leave out pets during the holiday season, so check out this site for a couple great Kwanzaa gift ideas for pets.
www.ebay.com
When all else fails, you can always turn to ebay. If you’ve never shopped on ebay before, these guys have nearly everything, including tons of Kwanzaa themed items. Simply search “Kwanzaa gifts” and hundreds of items will pop up. And don’t think that you have to bid to purchase something on ebay. You can filter your search items by “buy it now” and you won’t have to wait for the results of a bidding war (although you might end up spending a bit more).
