Day 6: Alaffia Gift Baskets
It’s inevitable that every year there’s someone on your list who is hard to buy for. Or maybe you’ve waited until the last minute (you wouldn’t do that would you?!?) and you’ve got to put something together fast. This is why I love gift baskets so much. And I’m not talking about the pre-made, shrink-wrapped baskets you can find anywhere (though I suppose there is nothing wrong with those). What I’m talking about is creating a personalized gift basket with all of someone’s everyday favorites. It sounds harder than it is, and you don’t have to look very far, because Alaffia has got you covered!
First, Alaffia’s full line of colorful baskets come in a variety of shapes and sizes so you can add as much (or as few) products to fill the basket as you’d like. The best part? Alaffia’s baskets are handmade in Togo by of members of basket cooperatives, who receive fair wages and health care, which empowers West African communities.
Once you’ve selected a basket, you can start adding products (this is where the fun really begins!) You can start with a theme if you’d like, or just grab some of your favorite products. Where Alaffia is concerned there is no shortage of options. We recommend some of our favorites like Alaffia’s Good Soap, Black Soap, and the new Neem & Turmeric range. But, you really can’t go wrong here. Add some hand soap and a hand cream, or a colorful bag from Queen Alaffia – the only rule is to have fun with it!
As if the basket wasn’t a great gift already, by purchasing Alaffia you are giving back to the global community by supporting Fair Trade and empowerment projects for women and families in Togo. Alaffia’s Empowerment Projects support several Education-Based Projects, Maternal Health, FGM Eradication, Eyeglasses Donations, and Reforestation and help the wonderful people in Togo rise out of poverty.
Ultimately, the finished product might look something like this (image courtesy of Alaffia):
