Having trouble thinking about what to give your guests?
Are you planning a wedding or a special event and you don’t know what to give your guests? We understand you perfectly, we have been through it too.
We already know which are the most common gifts for events: cigars, key chains, fans, purses, etc. These are examples that end up being common to all the weddings and events that we organize or attend as guests. Now we know what you are thinking and the reason why you have come here. Are there better options? Yes!.
We came up with a better idea: African gifts for events.
Give Africa as a Gift
Imagine surprising your guests with gifts that are not only beautiful, but also original and meaningful. Well, now it is possible. Keep reading!
It was thanks to a wedding and the request of the bride that she wanted to give fans from Benin that we discovered the possibilities of offering gifts from Africa for wedding guests.
In this first event, we managed to put together a complete collection of over 150 fans for all the guests. Actually, african fans for the ladies, African-inspired tie clips for the gentlemen. It all depends on the hosts’ taste!
The gift was an incredible success for several reasons. First, it’s unique. Each item received by each person was unique and special. This is because our items are handmade in Africa. Therefore, while each product maintains consistent quality and style, it uses diverse materials and prints. The guests were practically fighting over their favorite colors!
Furthermore, we are a non-profit organization, which means that all payments will be directed not only toward economic development but also toward the beach cleanups we conduct on African beaches.
These original gifts for weddings and events sent a message beyond the simple detail. Basically, at the same time you’re giving away an object while funding a social project on the beaches of Africa. And all in the name of your guest!
On the right, you can see one of the guests at the event, Paloma, with one of the fans we sent. Thank you, Paloma, for the picture!
Here Below you can see the cards we left with the african grifts in the wedding, so the guest understand the meaning of the gifts beyond the material value. Of course we will update the gift card to your liking, taking into account the theme of your event.
When we received our first order, we understood the opportunity of giving African products at your wedding or event. Not only are you giving a unique gift, but you’ll also be helping the development of the local market in its countries of origin (Benin, Nigeria, and Ghana).
What African gifts can we offer for your event? Keep reading.
Our collection of African gifts for events
At “Gifts from Africa for Weddings and Events”, we are pleased to present our curated selection of handcrafted gifts from Benin, Nigeria and Ghana. More than just gifts, our products represent an opportunity to celebrate Africa’s rich cultural heritage and contribute to a noble cause.
What can you find in our catalog? What we can surely have in stock will be African fans (pai pai) since we buy in large volume for events like yours.
In every detail of our African fans, you will find the history and passion of the artisans.
Our collection offers a variety of options but you have to consider that since they are handmade products, each fan will be unique. This means that you will receive fans in all kinds of colors and prints, from small details to unique pieces that will be appreciated for a long time.
Here’s a small sample of our current display. But keep in mind that for events where dozens, if not hundreds, of items are needed, choosing them one by one doesn’t make much sense. Just let us know the quantity, and we can give you a competitive price and ensure timely delivery. Remember, they have to be shipped from Benin!
Wait, are there more african gifts for events?
Do we have more products?
