About Roots for Gifts
How Roots for Gifts started...
During our Covid-19 lockdown in 2020, I came to the realisation that I could use the time spent at home to reconnect with what truly matters to me. The biggest realisation, besides the need to take care of myself, was that I really enjoy, love and value people and that I wanted them to know this.
One way to do this during the lockdown period was to stay in contact with family and friends via zoom, whatsapp, email, telephone calls, etc. When lockdown regulations were eased, it was good to go outdoors again and connect with people, albeit from a safe distance.
Back at home, we were baking, gardening, cleaning, crafting, reading, playing games, resting, staying in touch with loved ones as well as slowly but surely picking up on our work responsibilities.
From every trying period in our life, I feel that it is our responsibility to learn from it and going forward, to remember what we learnt during this period.
It was during this time that Roots for Gifts was born.
My husband wanted to know what I was going to do with all the blankets that I crocheted as well as some other items that I made. The easy reply was that I was going to gift them.
"Some gifts are big. Others are small.
But ones that come from the heart are the best gifts of all."

Where the roots are deep, there is no reason to fear the wind.
After much thought and brainstorming with family and friends, it was decided that a tree would represent my business and “roots” must be part of the name because;
- A tree is anchored by its roots;
- healthy roots feed/represent a healthy plant;
- by feeding the roots you are feeding the plant.
In a world that’s constantly changing, it can feel tough to stay grounded and rooted. But by focusing on nurturing ourselves, as well as those around us, we can create a sense of stability and kindness that can make all the difference.
The process of registering Roots for Gifts started and slowly but surely I found some lovely products that besides owning, I would be very proud in gifting.
We do not need a special occasion to give a gift. To be able to give a gift is pretty awesome. However putting thought and creativity into a gift can sometimes be intimidating.
Let Roots for Gifts help you in spoiling somebody with a very thoughtful, hand selected item.
Join me by going back to our roots and appreciating every moment in our lives and every person that crosses our path.
