In Kenya, 25 December and 26 December are both public holidays. Many shops and services close. Each of our animals is crocheted by hand, one at a time. So it is wise to choose early and ask before you rely on a date.
Four steps in order
- Decide who it is for. Think about what that person likes. One favourite animal is better guidance than any rule from us.
- Pick an animal and a colour in the shop. A few animals are shown only in group photos. For those, we confirm the colour with you.
- Choose a size. The size finder shows Small, Medium, Large and Extra large in pictures. We have not published centimetres yet.
- Send your order list on WhatsApp. Say when you hope to have the gift. We reply with what is possible.
What we cannot tell you here
We have not published lead times, delivery fees or last order dates for Christmas. They depend on the work in hand and on where the animal is going. We settle them with you in the chat.
Nothing is charged until we have both agreed. If your date will not work, we say so at the start. Then you can choose something else.
Gifts for many people
A family gathering often needs several gifts. The family builder lets you choose a group of safari animals. You set the sizes and colours and send one list.
Three animals in matching colours can go to three cousins. Then nobody feels left out.
Add a gift note in the order form. If the animals are for different people, tell us in the chat so we keep the notes straight.
If the person lives in another town
We work out delivery outside Nairobi case by case. Give us the town. Also give the name and phone number of the adult who will receive it. We will tell you what can be done.
If you prefer to collect, the order form has a pickup choice.
If you have no idea yet
The gift finder asks five quick questions. Then it suggests three animals from the shop. Your answers stay on your phone.
Use it as a nudge. If your own idea is stronger, follow that.
A short timeline you can follow
- Now: look at the shop and list the people you want to give to.
- Next: pick animals, colours and sizes, and send your list on WhatsApp.
- Then: answer our questions, agree the price and the delivery, and say how you will pay.
- Last: tell us the best day and place to hand over the gift.
You do not need a sack of presents. One animal chosen for one person is already a full gift.
