A Ripple Summer 2022 article
It’s that time of year where you must conjure gift ideas! And unless someone has a specific hobby that you know you can contribute to, it really becomes difficult to remain creative, especially if you have known someone for a long time with many festive seasons on your tally.
We take a look at some creative gift ideas for that special person or two.

Support local
Find something completely unique and even handmade at one of the markets or Christmas markets around. Not only do these markets have lovely gifts, but they will inevitably have delicious food and drinks, so why not make a day of it!
We found a great website that lists all the markets you can visit in and around Cape Town to search for that once-off gift: https://capemarkets.co.za
Something to nibble on
When you’ve run out of ideas completely, one thing you can rely on is something to nibble on. Make sure of course that you know someone’s dietary preferences before you buy. Whether it’s a chocolate, biltong, or a bottle of alcoholic or non-alcoholic drink, it will always be welcomed.
If you did not find what you are looking for at Babylonstoren or Yuppiechef, you can find some great festive gifts from cookies to DIY foodie kits and savoury boxes from Woolworths or Checkers. You are sure to find something that suits all budgets!
The best gift is you!
And of course, the best gift of all is you and your time! It need not cost you anything to spend some special time with someone. Book a time in that special person’s calendar and go do something. Take a walk on the beach, go visit a show or a go see a movie. For someone who loves you, all they want is your company.
