Souvenirs from Namibia

While some of my readers will not find this kind of post interesting, I always appreciate posts like this when I can find them. I try to buy souvenirs that are made in country and if possible by non-profits, cooperatives, or specifically by women or disadvantaged populations.

Since we were quite rushed in Windhoek and not much was open on Sunday, I had very little time to actually get souvenirs.  I only went to the Windhoek Craft Market.  I highly recommend this place!  They have lots of souvenirs that are unique and are not just your cookie cutter souvenirs from Africa.  Here were my purchases (minus the ones I have already given away as gifts).
