We live in a time where expressing yourself, your unique interests and essence, is very trendy and accessible. But what about giving the gift of expression to someone you care about?
When someone remembers the little details about us, of course we’re going to feel special. So how about taking that one step further and turning those little details into gifts!
Here are some unique, Capetonian born bred stores that will ensure your person is definitely not getting the same gift twice.
Why? Because #LocalisLekker
1. For the muso
Wonderland Albums offers customised album covers for the music lover. Pick an album, song and time stamp for lyrics that will tell them how much they mean to you. Or treat yourself if music is your life.

3. For the statement jewellery suave
Maybe you, or the person you’re gifting likes to look iced-out. Masculine or feminine, it’s a great way of expression. Mainstream jewellery stores can be heavy on the wallet, which is why BOA Cape Town is so exciting. Sweet pieces for sweet prices, from star signs to stunning symbols, they’ve got you.

4. For everyone Eskom has personally offended
No lights and South Africa go hand-in-hand. Since we use a lot of candles, why not make it personal? Wax Poetics offers personalised candles. And for book lovers who still want to get their fix at night, there are bookish themed candles.
