Online gifts that are sure to make a splash include messages from their favorite celebrities, bottles of wine or delicious food, or subscriptions and memberships so they can do more of what they love (on you, of course).
Top Online Gift Shops In South Africa
Whether it is a gift for a special friend, a wedding gift, or simply a spoiling for myself, this is my list of top online gift stores in SA…
- Heart and Home
Heart and Home is an online gift shop, specializing in home accessories, soft furnishings, and accessories for children and adults. Product styles vary from vintage chic to contemporary. Each product is carefully selected to ensure a unique selection of gifts.
I have been snooping around all the online stores since renovating my kitchen and fell in love with these gorgeous red canisters! To visit the Heart and Home Website click here.
- Skinny laMinx
Skinny laMinx products are fun and quirky with a definite South African flavor. Skinny laMinx products are 100% South African, with design inspiration lifted from nature and everyday objects. You will find gorgeous Wild Flowers, Pincushions, Duikers, and Flower Feilds in shades of Framboos, Blueberry, and Cocoa to name but a few. Truly unique and exceptional designs at very affordable prices. To visit the Skinny laMinx website click here.
- Unique
Utique is an amazing online gift boutique, which is all about showcasing the very best of South African creative talent by carefully selecting products from local designers, artists, and small businesses. To visit the Unique Website click here.
- Yuppiechef
Yuppiechef is my favorite online kitchen store and sells the world’s best kitchen tools from leading local and international brands. From knives, cookware, and bakeware, to espresso machines(I have my eye on a pretty red one) – they stock my favorite brands such as Kitchen Aid and Le Creuset.
I love my Kitchen Aid and I am very keen to start adding a few of the attachments to my collection, especially the pasta attachment! They also offer free delivery anywhere in South Africa. To visit the Yuppiechef website click here.
Are online gift shops profitable?
The gift industry is constantly growing. It is a very profitable business today. If you ever wanted to start an online business and be your own boss, opening a gift shop is a great way to do it! Holidays never end and gifts will always be in demand.
How much does it cost to start a small gift shop?
A professional-looking small bench could cost as little as R4960.74 or as much as several thousand. For a small retail store, I would assume an average cost of about R9921.48, which will get you a fairly nice setup from a store like Ikea or Wayfair.
