Our Story

OUR STORY

It all started with a creative mom and her crazy daughter who love making people laugh. After years of enjoying our own homemade Christmas crackers at family gatherings, we decided it was time to share the fun with the rest of South Africa. And just like that, Just Fun Gifts was born!

But our love for all things unique and local didn’t stop there.

While searching for the perfect gifts, we discovered amazing, one-of-a-kind products made by talented local vendors in KZN—artisans and small businesses who pour their hearts into their work. We realized how incredible it would be to bring all these special finds together in one place, making it easier for people to shop locally while creating the ultimate gift experience.

And so, Gifts by Locals was created—a space where you can:
✔ Support Local: Every purchase helps small businesses thrive.
✔ Mix & Match: Combine different local products to create the perfect gift.
✔ Pay One Courier Fee: Shop from multiple vendors without extra shipping costs.

Whether you’re spoiling a loved one or treating yourself (because why not?!), we’re here to bring you gifts with heart, humor, and a touch of South African magic.
