 Souvenirs are everywhere by TheWanderingCamel
Needless to say, quality can vary hugely - as can prices - but there truly is something for everyone - and there cannot be a single plane leaving any aiport that doesn't have a veritable menagerie of animals on board along with the paying passengers. Personally, I think there's probably more wooden animals in South Africa than live ones. Leave a Comment Theme: Local Craft

 ACKERMANS STORES. by PEE-WEE
The Ackermans Success story began in 1916 when Gus Ackerman opened the very first store in Wynberg, Cape Town, setting a benchmark for price competitiveness that few could match.
By 1960 the Ackermans chain had shown promising growth and was sold to Greatermans.
Towards the end of the 70's Ackermans changed hands once again and was sold to Edgars who maintained its successful price discounter position.
When Pepkor acquired Ackermans in 1984 there were 34 stores across the country. Pepkor were quick to realise that the strategy of adding value to the low price formula would better position Ackermans for growth, and it was at this point that Ackermans began its present period of exceptional growth.
By the turn of the century Ackermans had grown to over 200 stores across Southern Africa, catering to all value conscious consumers.
The new millennium heralds even bigger and more exciting plans. By the end of the 2003/2004 financial year our number of stores will total 299 Ackermans stores, 5 Home Comforts Stores, 2 Ackermans Baby Company stores and 29 Hang Ten stores and the millennium has just begun! Leave a Comment

 Annealed copper and silver by TheWanderingCamel
These lovely little butter /pate knives are just an example. Beautifully made in a combination of solid silver (the blades) and inlaid and annealed copper (the handles). They are so well made, very tactile and good looking - and easy to pack (always a consideration when you're travelling) I was more than happy to pay about $12 each for them.

 Wood, beads AND candle by TheWanderingCamel
I liked these little tealight holders, made of wood and with a little bit of beaded trimming, they were African in their appearance as well as being lightweight in my luggage, and the candle itself can be replaced, making for a much more long-lasting souvenir that brings a little touch of South Africa to my home.
From just about $3-4 up ... and up. Leave a Comment Theme: Home Furnishing
