Sanaa Gifts

In 2020, I was looking for wrapping paper with a Black Father Christmas. Nothing like this could be found in the UK and the products that I could source were either from the US or looked aesthetically dated. As a professional graphic designer, I knew that I could create a more inclusive shopping experience through products that celebrate Black culture and ethnic minority communities.

I intentionally chose the name ‘Sanaa’ – a Swahili word meaning ‘work of art’ – as an apt description of how I see myself and Black people.

Utilising the positive imagery that can be seen throughout Sanaa’s premium quality products, I aim to provide better representation of Black and ethnic minority communities in the mainstream art, gifts and stationary market and remind us that we are all created as masterpieces.
