Win a $50 Amani Ya Juu gift card!
Remember Amani Ya Juu? (It's a non-profit that helps marginalized African women earn a living for their families.)
We had a giveaway from them just a few weeks back, with the beaded star and the tea towels.
Well, Amani wanted to do one more giveaway for you guys before the holidays are over, and they also wanted me to review a few more items.
Soo, they sent me an apron, which is very exciting because my apron is super old and falling apart. I've been wanting a new one for a while, but so many I saw were frilly and ruffly and that is just not my style.
But this apron is full of practicality, and there's not a ruffle in sight. Yay!
(Amani Ya Juu DOES offer a ruffly apron, for those of you who like fancier aprons than I do. 😉 )
My Amani apron is made of durable fabric, the top comes up nice and high to keep my whole shirt clean, and the bottom part covers a good bit of my pant legs too.
On me, the apron is wide enough to reach around my sides, so it will fit a variety of waist sizes while still keeping your whole front covered.
Ooh, and it has pockets!
Mahhhhvelous.
My apron was made by a woman named Melanie from Rwanda, and she was recently featured in an Amani email, where they asked her what she was thankful for.
Here's what she said:
"I am thankful to God for:
-My Amani family.
-My children, because they are good at school and they also help me with work at home. They make me happy when I am sad.
-A loving and caring husband.
-Beans and potatoes, because they make me healthy and strong...I thank God that I am able to afford them.
-My many friends from different countries."
I love that Amani is helping women like Melanie create a better life for themselves and their families. So great.
Amani also sent me a red beaded bracelet, which was created by a man named Stephen, who Amani has worked with for years. He sells most of his products (including beautiful pottery) in the Maasai Market of Nairobi, Kenya.
This is one long bracelet, which looks like multiple stacked bracelets and I think it'll be especially fun to wear in warmer weather.
Did you know it's pretty difficult to take a picture of yourself with a bracelet? I finally resorted to using the mirror.
The bracelet comes in green too, by the way, in case red's not your thing.
The Giveaway
Amani is giving away a $50 gift certificate this time, so you can shop for whatever you'd like at their store!
To enter, take a peek at the things Amani Ya Juu offers and then come back and leave a comment telling me what you'd buy with your $50.
(I know last time we had some confusion about how to enter the Amani giveaway, but this time I promise my instructions are correct!)
By the way, Amani Ya Juu's order deadline for Christmas is December 18th, so you've still got almost a week to get your orders in.
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. Void where prohibited. One entry per person. Odds of winning depends upon the number of entrants. This post is not sponsored and it does not contain affiliate links. Amani sent two complimentary review items.

The banana leaf nativity set. It's so pretty.
Much as I love everything they have to offer, I don't need a thing, but I have a friend who has not been able to treat herself, probably ever. I would offer it to her. She rarely accepts my help, especially not now that she is finally getting on her feet, but in this situation, she might accept. I think that the pocket dress would look adorable on her and the 50$ would get us most of the way there!
Oops. I think I originally posted as a reply to someone else by mistake. I would love the Banana Leaf Nativity Set. It's beautiful.
This would be a lovely place to get teacher gifts! I love the bowls and napkins for them. I'd also love to get one of the adorable kid aprons for my one-year-old who always likes to wear her big sister's apron!

I would love an apron like yours, but there are others things I would like too!

I love the African napkin rings- I always like individual rings for each person, so they know which napkin is theirs!
My daughter and I both love fair trade shopping. The bucket bag is calling my name, and my daughter would love the green coil bracelet. There are a few more things I like, so I would way overspend the gift certificate, but I'd be OK with that!
Kikoy triangle scarf!
I would probably get one of the Keyhole scarves and some earrings or spend it all on the Bucket tote.
Wow! There is so much to choose from! I like several of the bags, but I like the cloth napkins too. Merry Christmas!

I learned about their store from your blog. I love the idea, and the US base is in Chattanooga, which is my hometown. If I was going to buy something, it would probably be for the kitchen. I have a bunch of stuff to give people right now (I was in Congo), but I am keeping their store in mind for future purchases.
I am always happy to see a place that is empowering women to earn a living. Life in Africa can be so hard, especially for women. Thanks for pointing people to the store. 🙂
I love the banana leaf nativity set, but I also love the Uganda toiletry bag and some of the necklaces. 🙂

She keeps in touch with her kids and other family through snail mail. And they return her letters! She's due for some new stuff 🙂
So many beautiful things! I would love an apron just like your's?
Oh, I'm torn! Either one of the bags, or a bunch of kitchen stuff (the heart hotpad looks adorable + practical, and I've liked the dishtowels ever since you mentioned them earlier.) Were I an apron-wearer, I'd love their cute half-apron, though.
I love the banana leaf nativity set.
It would be hard to choose jewelry is lovely the nativity sets from banana leaves

Gosh those quilts are so beautiful, but I also love the ceramic mug!
I would love a new apron!
I need new oven gloves, and I love an infinity scarf that I found, so those would probably be my choices though there are several other items I like too. 🙂
I'm South African born and very very homesick, even after living here in California for the past 30 odd years. If you were born in Africa, you will know it stays with you forever! Anything 'African' warms my heart and soul, and the story behind all the beautiful pieces they sell, is heartwarming. There are many items I would love to have! So much to choose from.

I really like the peacock travel tote.
I love the aprons (I wear aprons every day) and the story of the lady who makes them. How many are thankful for beans and potatoes? Very humbling. Thank you for showing these to us.
That was my thought too. Beans and potatoes are pretty basic foods that I don't often think to be thankful for.

I would choose a wooden spoon set and bracelet.
I love the bucket bag or totes! But the skirts are beautiful too! What a neat company!

I'd get the peacock travel tote!!

That owl backpack though!!! Too much. I love, love the batik potholders, but know I would instantly destroy them. The clay mug would be a great start to my day.....probably a rugged tote too!
Oh . . . my . . . goodness. I don't know where to begin! I LOVE the cloth dinner napkins, so those would probably be at the top of the list. (Followed by some of the wooden utensils and/or some bracelets, or maybe an apron. So many choices, so little time!)
