Blooming Baskets, Glowing Hearts: A Mother's Day Tribute with Handmade African Baskets
At Zaarefolks, we believe a gift should be more than beautiful. It should mean something. This Mother’s Day, we’re honoring not only mothers but women as individuals — strong, creative, and full of light. To celebrate, we’ve created a blooming flower made entirely of wave baskets, woven by hand in Northern Ghana.
Each handmade basket in this piece tells a story. A story of heritage, of skill passed through generations, and of the power of women creating with purpose.
Our wave basket design is inspired by movement, softness, and strength. When shaped into a flower, these baskets become a symbol of growth, beauty, and care — just like the women they represent.
Why gift a basket on Mother’s Day?
A basket is not just an object. It is something that holds, carries, supports. Much like a mother’s love. Whether used as a decor basket, a flower basket, or even a basket for planter arrangements, each one brings warmth into any space.
Here are a few meaningful options from our collection:
Wave basket – simple yet sculptural, this basket is one of our signature pieces
Art basket – unique color and shape combinations that make a statement in any room
Basket for planter – perfect for giving a natural look to indoor plants
Flower basket – ideal for presenting fresh blooms, dried flowers, or even self-care gifts
Decor basket – for shelves, tables, or entryways, adding texture and handmade elegance
What makes Zaarefolks baskets special?
Our baskets are crafted by women in Bolgatanga, Ghana, using natural elephant grass. Every handmade basket is created with time, patience, and purpose. Your purchase supports women’s livelihoods, community development, and the continuation of traditional African basket weaving techniques.
Each wave decor basket is a piece of usable art. It can hold books, toys, yarn, or simply stand alone as a design element. Many of our customers love using their African baskets in ways that reflect their own lifestyles — as organizing tools, wall hangings, or even planters.
