Zanzibar gifts
Luxury Gifts From Zanzibar
ZAWADI is a Zanzibar gifting house. We prepare handcrafted wooden gift boxes on the island, fill them with premium Zanzibar spices, add your personalisation and ship them to your recipient anywhere in the world.
Nothing is mass produced and nothing sits in a warehouse. Your gift begins when your order does.

Buying while you are here
If you are on the island, you can order online and have your gift prepared and delivered to an address in Zanzibar, or shipped directly home so you do not have to carry spices in your luggage.
Gifts from Zanzibar
Sending from abroad
Most of our orders come from people who are not in Zanzibar at all — sending a gift to family, clients or friends. Your box is made on the island regardless of where the order is placed.
Gifts for occasions
Marking the moment
Weddings, anniversaries, Ramadan and Eid, Christmas, corporate milestones and thank-you gifts. Engraving turns a good gift into a specific one.

- What is the best gift from Zanzibar?
- For most recipients, a spice gift box. It is consumable, usable and immediately recognisable as Zanzibari. Add engraving if it marks a specific trip or occasion.
- How much do Zanzibar gifts cost?
- Our spice gift boxes run from $89 for the Classic Collection to $249 for the Collector's Edition, with luxury hampers at $299 and $499. Personalisation is charged separately.
