Gifts Under $50

Nothing on this page is filler. A straw market basket with hand-stitched leather handles. Sheepskin slippers cut and sewn in the medina. Tufted evil-eye cushion covers in cotton. An esparto grass pendant light, woven from grass that grows wild across the Middle Atlas.

They come out of the same workshops as everything else we sell — the same hands, the same five to seven days on the bench. They are simply smaller. That is the only real difference between a $45 basket and a $450 rug here.

What to choose

If you are buying for someone who cooks or shops markets, the straw totes are the safe answer, and they last for years rather than seasons. For a housewarming, the evil-eye cushion covers travel well and suit almost any room. The personalised straw baskets take a name in embroidered thread, which turns a $20 basket into the kind of thing nobody throws away.

Everything here is made to order in Marrakech and shipped to 19 countries in 5 to 14 days. European prices include duties, so the figure on the tag is the figure you pay.
