How much are Zanzibar wedding favours?

From $130 per box for larger orders, before personalisation and shipping. Final pricing depends on the collection, engraving and quantity.

How far in advance should we order wedding favours?

Several weeks. Larger orders need more bench time in Zanzibar, and if boxes must reach guests who are not travelling, transit time is additional.

Can every box be engraved with our names and date?

Yes. Two first names and a date is the most common request and reproduces consistently across a large order.

Will the favours survive our guests' flights home?

Spices are sealed inside a rigid wooden box, which travels well in checked baggage. Guests should check their own country's rules on importing food and plant products.
