The stories behind this season's most meaningful gifts

Season's greetings to you Christmas shopper! As we get into swing with the happiest time of the year, full of warmth, love and gifts I thought a blog post with this season's 7  most popular gifts might be helpful. 

Sabi Star Chain:

Rachel first got in touch to order Sabi star chains; as soon as they were delivered she loved them so much she bought another for herself. A few days later she messaged me again to order another pink Sabi Star. As with most gifts we wrap up I had no idea who it was for. Imagine my delight when Rachel called me a few days later saying "Eileen thank-you so much, she literally burst into tears when she opened the box!! You see it was for my cousin who grew up here and had not been home for 23 years. She grew up playing around Sabi stars and this means the world!"🥹💕

Aquamarine Chain:

Our Aquamarine Chains are mined right here in Zimbabwe and cut in Harare by cutters who have been cutting for decades, then made into jewellery by women at Eileen M. When you buy one you don't just keep my dream going but several families too. Our Aquamarine chains are the perfect blue worth a second glance.

Butterfly Chain:

I love when women come together and support each other. Like the heart chain we sell a number of butterflies. One story that touched me was last year was when a group of friends were celebrating one of their own turning 30 on Christmas Day. To her it was to be a symbol of transformation and life after beating the odds with a diagnosis. However you are ending 2025, may it be with loved ones around you 🤗

Flame Lily Earrings:

The ultimate go to stylish meaningful pair! A bit of national pride captured in a single petal that curves gently to form a one of a kind hoop earring. There are so many heartwarming stories around the flame lily pair that I can’t even attempt to pick one.  Interestingly it seems the pair is a winner with men picking out gifts for their ladies. Among the stories I couldn’t pick from there was that fiancé from Sweden, so many American and Zimbabwean men living abroad, in turn they get picked up by expats & diplomats in Zim too! So I say a go to gift if you are looking for meaningful earrings that will be loved. 

Flame Lily Chain:

It is difficult to meet a Zimbabwean near or far who does not love something about Zim. The flame Lily chain large or small makes a special gift for a lady here or far from home. One of my Flame Lilies recently wound up in Norway. Erik married a Zimbabwean girl and decided to surprise her with something special from home. She put it on immediately  when she got it!

Dainty Gemstone Chain :

Just one gem for that one who is most beloved. A unique child, treasured partner, that good friend or your very own self! A simple gemstone cradled by two silver arms, this chain was inspired by the thoughthold the ones you love close. It comes in many colours.

Heart Chain:

We happen to sell a number of these because they are a simple symbol of love gifted over and over again to daughters or granddaughters. It's not always I get to know where the hearts wind up. What made this heartwarming (pun intended;) to me was that it was ordered by a Mum as a surprise for her daughter who was coming home. This Mum got to know us because her daughter started buying her birthday gifts and mother's day gifts when she lived in Zim and when she moved away she had her younger sister replace her. With her coming home, her mother asked me to find out what she wanted most so she could have it waiting for her when she landed in Zim. It was such a pleasure to wrap up a gift for the organiser!:)
