Looking for goodies for people who love eating and drinking in the great outdoors? Need something special for those who love entertaining? 

Whether you need a gift for that outdoor cook, or you are simply looking to make changes in your own life by switching to more environmentally friendly options, you are in the right place. 

Our guide provides some fun shopping ideas, nature-inspired products, and more. 

Take a look at our summer guide for a few items that we found from a variety of sources.

Bag your braai

The craft braai bag™ or craft braai sakkie™ is changing the way you braai. This little bag makes smoke-infused foods easier and adds convenience to your braai by keeping your food together. Nothing will fall through the braai grid anymore. Add anything from boerewors to braaibroodjies and even popcorn to the bag. The craft braai bag™ is made from industrial food-grade material so can withstand temperatures of up to 260 °C. Even chuck it in the dishwasher after your braai for easy cleaning.

Get yours from www.craftbraai.org, priced from R199.

Clean fruit and veg, zero waste

There is nothing like washing fruit and vegetables and seeing litres of fresh water go to waste, whether at home or in the bush. Saving water has never been this easy! SoPure has a range of eco-friendly products, which includes Fruit & Veg Sterilising spray. This 100% natural spray is not only safe to consume but eliminates pesticide contaminants, viruses, bacteria and yeasts. There is no need to rinse it from your products before consumption.
