Artisans and Adventurers’ Tanzanian hand woven throw
Best: Overall
This kind of gift is highly versatile, and sure to be reached for time and again. Loomed from 100 per cent Tanzanian cotton, the throw is beautifully soft and luxurious. We love the grey diamond pattern – enough of a statement to jazz up plain bedding if thrown over the end of a bed, but subtle enough to go with a variety of colour schemes. Perfectly cosy, it can be used as a blanket too.
So Just Shop, a sustainable lifestyle brand to know, was launched with the aim of lifting 250,000 women and families out of poverty and has sourced items like this throw – crafted by female artisans in Tanzania – to achieve that goal. Each of the throws are dyed by hand and woven on traditional wooden looms, making each piece unique. As well as being a gorgeous housewarming gift, which we’re sure will be treasured for years to come, you can also be happy in the knowledge that by purchasing it you're helping support some of the most vulnerable communities in the world.
