Foldable Baskets: Blend Practicality with Artistry

Decorating for the festive season often involves tidying up and organizing your living space. That is where our foldable baskets come in!

Place these foldable baskets under your Christmas tree or use them for stylish and practical organization. The versatility of Ndara's baskets allows you to seamlessly integrate them into various aspects of your holiday and everyday furnishings.

Stuffed Toys: Bring African Wildlife to Your Home

For a playful and heartwarming touch, we have a charming collection of stuffed toys showcasing the diverse and unique wildlife of the Central African Republic. Elephants, giraffes, and pangolins come to life in the form of cuddly companions, making them perfect additions to your lives in many ways: festive decorations (especially if you have little ones around), great gifts for kids or adults who are interested in wildlife, and even as unique pieces of craftmanship showcasing the power of resilience and creativity in your everyday home décor.

These adorable stuffed toys not only celebrate the incredible wildlife of Central Africa but also contribute to our mission of supporting local artisans to gain self-reliance for themselves and their communities.

Incorporating these stuffed animals into your holiday home design by placing them under the tree or on your mantle will definitely bring a smile to anyone who sees them. These sweet creations make for delightful presents, lovely accents for your table, or they can be fantastic stocking fillers. 

Gift Cards: The Gift of Choice 

For those who love to spread the joy of giving, we offer digital gift cards for your friends and family. Allow your loved ones to choose their favorite pieces from our collection, ensuring a gift that resonates with their personal style and taste. It's not just a present; it's a chance for others to experience the beauty and purpose behind our creations to get inspired to tell their own story of resilience.

Fabric Gift Wrap Bags: Sustainable Gifting Solutions

Take your gift-giving to the next level with our fabric gift wrap bags. These reusable and multi-purpose alternatives to traditional gift wrapping add a touch of sophistication to your presents while promoting sustainability. With their unique prints, these gift wrap bags become an integral part of the present, creating a memorable and thoughtful experience for the person receiving the gift.

Once the recipient has unwrapped their present, these bags can be repurposed in various creative ways. Use it as a stylish storage solution, repurpose it for someone else's present, or even use it as a practical solution in your everyday lives (for organizers in your luggage - they are perfect for storing your shoes or holding your gym clothes in your work bag). By embracing the reusable aspect of these gift wrap bags, you extend the life and functionality of the material, aligning your choices with a sustainable lifestyle.
