CBD Showroom
Khoja Round About, Nairobi
Curated with intention,
gifted with love.
Yala Gifts was born out of a simple, profound belief: every gift should feel personal, considered, and worthy of the moment it marks. We are a boutique gifting house based in the heart of Nairobi CBD — dedicated to creating unforgettable concierge experiences for individuals and corporate partners alike.
From hand-selected hampers to bespoke corporate gifting programs, everything we do is underpinned by taste, warmth, and an obsessive attention to detail. We collaborate with passionate local artisans across Kenya and East Africa, sourcing premium products to package every item as if it were for our own family.

Founder Spotlight Lucy Manyara
Founder & Chief Executive Officer
"Gifting is our way of sharing warmth and connection. When you send a gift through us, you trust us with your relationships, and that is a honor we carry with pride in every ribbon we tie."
Lucy founded Yala Gifts after noticing a gap in Kenya’s gifting market for personal, high-end experiences. Rooted in our culture of warmth and generosity, she combined her background in creative design and leadership to build a brand centered on meaningful connection—growing Yala Gifts into a thriving boutique house at Nairobi CBD's iconic Khoja Round About.
Her journey is a story of passion, resilience, and local pride. Lucy’s relentless eye for detail and commitment to uplifting East African artisans remain the heart of Yala Gifts, inspiring us to celebrate our heritage, craftsmanship, and love in every curated piece.

Our Core Values
Curation over Quantity
We would rather carry fifty extraordinary items than five hundred ordinary ones. Every product in our showroom has earned its place.
Personal Touch
We treat every order — whether for a single loved one or a thousand employees — with the same craftsmanship and devotion.
Locally Rooted
We actively empower Kenyan artisans and East African producers, nurturing sustainable economic impact through luxury gifting.
Guaranteed Quality
We stand behind every piece. If an item isn't exquisite, useful, and meticulously built — it does not leave our showroom.
Inclusive Gifting
Meaningful gifts shouldn't require extravagant budgets. We craft memorable, high-impact options across all price spectrums.
Trust & Transparency
Honest delivery timelines, clear pricing, and no hidden surprises. Our clients return because we always deliver on our promises.
