If there are two things we love it's shopping and supporting local brands. With Christmas around the corner, things can get manic and there is nothing worse than trooping around a busy shopping centre dodging trolley's and screaming children all while mentally ticking off your shopping list. That's why we love online shopping and why we've put together this great gift guide of local products that you can find all online.
1 - We love the idea of giving a beautiful bread board along with some homemade pickles or jams as a gift. This heart shaped board from local Durban brand
Woodnewz is perfect as a gift. And at only R380, it gets our vote!
Extra Bonus: you can choose what wood you want your board to be in!
2 - Craft beer is all the rage at the moment and we love this selection of Boston Breweries Craft Beer from
5 Ounces. Expect to get four of each variety in a mixed case for only R240!
Extra Bonus: 9 Ounces charges a flat rate of R50 for all deliveries.
