Stunning Christmas gifts under R250

So, ready or not, Christmas is around the corner!

And if you want to help your budget and absorb the inevitable expenses sooner rather than later, now might be the time to check out Meekel's suggestions on gifts under R250.

The list is put together by Meekel creators Kerry and Bobby Hugill, and is full of unique options for festive gifting. Incidentally, Meekel is an online store that showcases furniture, homeware, artwork, clothing, accessories and lifestyle products. Brands range form the well-established to the future stars, and often explore the very best in South African design.

But, without further ado, Meekel's top ten gift suggestions under R250:

1. Heart Money Purse (R112) – Jesse Breytenbach
Hand-printed coin purse with coordinating zip. Outer fabric is a thick cotton-linen blend while the inside fabric is unbleached cotton. Each purse is printed using carved linoleum blocks and water-based silkscreen ink.

4. Loogaroo the Lion (R200) – Mie Arts & Crafts
Loogaroo the Lion is part of the BOO!beloobie range of animals. The range is named after the artist's two-year-old son, one of his many whacky nicknames! Made from a combination of suede, felt and buttons in cream, yellow, chocolate brown and orange with white accents.

5. Recipe Cards (R185) - Essie Letterpress

8. Charcoal Pincushion Flower Napkins (R135) – Skinny LaMinx

9. Acacia Twig Sugar and Spice Spoons (R170 for a set of 2) - Aboda
Forms, textures and shapes of Africa are subtly captured and intricately
reflected in these individual, handcrafted spoons. Ideal as salt, pepper or
