Our Story | Proudly South African, Built With Heart
Local is Lekker ZA started in 2020 during the hard lockdown, founded by Charlene, Melanie, and Mandy from the small town of Kwambonambi. What began as a way to support local makers during uncertain times quickly grew into a trusted South African lifestyle and gifting brand.
Our passion has always been simple.
- Support South African artisans
- Preserve local skills
- Make local gifting easy and trustworthy
Over the years, we grew from a garage business to a well-loved space at the Prison Break Market. Today, we operate as a specialist fully online South African gifting store, allowing us to serve customers more efficiently while keeping quality, service, and delivery firmly in our hands.
Local is Lekker is not just our name. It is how we live and work.

Gifting Made Simple and Fast
One of the most common questions we hear is, “When will my gift arrive?” That is why we have built a specialized and reliable gifting system focused on speed, consistency, and peace of mind for our lifestyle and gift collections.
- We prioritize speed by holding physical stock for most of our collections. Unless an item is specifically marked as Pre-Order or Made-to-Order, your order is packed and dispatched directly by our dedicated team to ensure a quick turnaround.
- Standard South African gift boxes are always available.
- Branding and finishing are done in-house for premium quality control.
- Faster turnaround times for local, corporate, and tourism gifting.
This makes us ideal for last-minute local gifts, bespoke business orders, and tourism gifting where timing matters. If you need local gifting done properly and without delays, you are in the right place.
Gifting for Hotels, Lodges and Tourism
Local is Lekker ZA proudly supplies South African gifts to hotels, lodges, guest houses, tourism operators, and travel companies. We specialize in curated “Arrival Gifts” and “South African Survival Kits” that showcase our local lifestyle.
Our specialist gifting solutions are well-suited to:
- Hotel welcome gifts
- Lodge guest gifts
- Tourism and travel packages
- Corporate and conference gifting
- Overseas guests wanting authentic South African keepsakes
We help tourism businesses offer guests something truly local, meaningful, and beautifully presented, without the uncertainty of third party fulfilment.
Supporting South African Artisans and Local Businesses
We work directly with South African artisans and makers, sourcing their products and handling all packing and delivery ourselves. This allows us to maintain consistent quality and dependable gift fulfillment.
Alongside our online store, Local is Lekker ZA is also developing a separate directory for South African businesses and tourist attractions.
