It’s time to celebrate everything that makes South Africa home! From your ‘chinas’ to your ‘chommies’, bunny chow to biltong, don’t say you’ll do it ‘now now’ because Heritage Day 2023 is here. On 24 September we get to commemorate all the great things our country has to offer, like its one-of-a-kind cultures, beautiful landscapes and ‘lekker’ food. Whether you’re celebrating diversity in the office or bringing the ‘boets’ together for a braai, don’t be shy to spread that South African spirit with a Heritage Day gift!
Bring Heritage Day Celebrations Home
The great thing about South African pride is that we don’t hide it. We love our country and it shows! So why not spoil someone (or yourself!) with a Heritage Day gift that brings pride home, like a piece of home décor for Heritage Day? Because nothing says I love that SA is my home quite like these gifts do!
But we are so much more than just a pretty landscape, South Africa is filled with natural treasures like rooibos. This indigenous plant has more uses than being a tasty drink, it is also beneficial to your skin! Treat someone special to this South African beauty secret by spoiling them with a rooibos bath and body hamper! Because if you are going to pamper them, make sure you do it the SA way.
Other than rooibos, we all know the unbeatable gift is a bouquet of indigenous flowers for Heritage Day! There are so many beautiful blooms to choose from but our top pick will always be the proud protea. A protea flower arrangement is the perfect centrepiece for all Heritage Day celebrations you attend or host. Be the ‘king’ of the castle and make these beautiful blooms last with these flower care tips.
Heritage Day Gifts For The Office
While the 24th might be a public holiday, you can still get your clients, staff and co-workers in the mood to ‘sokkie’ with these Heritage Day gift ideas for the office. For the wonderful workers in the office who help our economy grow, reward their efforts with an indigenous plant gift for Heritage Day, like an African violet.
After you’ve made the office say, ‘Yebo yes’, share some of that South African cheer with your clients! Encourage them to celebrate Heritage Day 2023 the right way: outside, enjoying the warm SA weather and mingling all those beautiful languages together. For the occasion, we think the perfect gift for clients is a picnic basket filled with local treats.
If you need a gift that will impress everyone, from clients to the boss, go all out and show your support with some useful stationery. But don’t go for the everyday pens because this is the perfect opportunity to gift some Heritage Day stationery!
Braai Day Festivities
There’s a reason we also refer to 24 September as National Braai Day because the occasion simply wouldn’t be complete without the sizzle! Bring the festivities to your next get-together with a personalised braai apron for the braai master. It’s a ‘lekker’ way for your loved ones to show off their pride while still protecting their clothes from the vicious spit of a cooking boerewors.
We can start to get a little parched while spending the day under the warm African sun. Good thing South Africa has its own supply of local liquors to make any party say, ‘Sip, sip, hooray!’. At NetFlorist you can order local beers online for delivery and even get South African wine hampers sent straight to the party because in this country, the ‘dop’ comes to you! No matter where you find yourself on the public holiday, find a drink for all occasions right here!
Make sure the munching is up to the South African standard because there is no better Heritage Day food than some biltong. If you feel like your braai is missing something then biltong will be the ‘cure’. But it’s a day for being together so don’t let the snack table be lonely. Fill up someone’s heart and tummy with some baked goods, like Château Gâteaux cake, and a dried fruit and nut tray too!
However you choose to spend this public holiday, make sure you’re sharing all the ways it’s great to be a South African. Whether you are indulging in our unique food dishes, celebrating in a cultural attire or just taking the time to enjoy the sunshine, spread the cheer to those around you with a gift from NetFlorist.
