Exploring foreign lands and learning about different cultures is genuinely exciting to me; I also love to shop occasionally so I figured I'd get a head start on holiday gift shopping and start looking for gifts now. Whenever I shop for gifts for friends and family or even just for keepsakes for myself, I always prefer unique, handmade gifts with a story behind them rather than a meaningless mass produced product. I'm currently on a quest to find unique, handmade products from all over the world that I can purchase online, these are a few of my favorite choices so far...
1) From the green mountains of Longquan, in the Asian country of China; Swords of Northshire offers custom-made, hand forged Samurai swords and many other similar warrior type products. Longquan has over 2,600 years of sword-making history; Swords of Northshire offers several different options for customizing your katana (sword), and has an easy to use customization interface unlike anything else in the sword industry. Swords of Northshire puts a major focus on customer service, and want to unsure that every single customer is happy with their order. My guy is really into collecting knives and those sorts of things, he has a set of batman boomerang type throwing knives we got from a comic book convention here in Texas a few years ago and a set of really cool all blue throwing knives I picked up for him last year at the Texas Renaissance Festival. If you know someone who loves the Chinese culture or collects swords and/and or knives, they're going to really appreciate and cherish getting a customized uniquely handmade gift from Swords of Northshire.

3) South Africa, Kenya, Egypt, Ethiopia, Morocco and Nigeria are some of the most traveled lands on the continent of Africa. They are all full of unique culture; if you're looking for something from Moroccan check out Badia Design online and if you're looking for something from Egypt check out Bazaarin Egypt online.
4) If you're looking to indulge in the Aussie culture, check out Biome for gifts from Australia.

6) Some years ago at my old place of employment I had a very interesting conversation with a older man who was from the island of Jamaica. He was genuinely kind and gave me a lot of travel advice which is why Ocho Rios, Jamaica is now on my travel goals list. If you're looking for gifts from Jamaica, check out JamaicanGiftShop online. 7) If you're looking for unique gifts from South America, Peru & Arts has something you'll like.
