Celebrating local talent and artistry

Woolworths continues its commitment to local artists, bringing their creativity to life in this year’s Christmas collection:

Chuckles keepsakes

The Chuckles Christmas range is made with responsibly sourced cocoa and features packaging with vibrant designs by Studio Muti that capture the essence of SA’s iconic cityscapes and landmarks. Highlights include this tin of Chuckles Malted Biscuits in Milk Chocolate and Coffee Break Tree Decoration, filled with Chuckles and coffee pods.

Fynbos-inspired shortbread biscuit tin

The tin is designed by Blackfan Studio, a Cape Town-based studio specialising in botanically inspired surface design for home decor. The biscuits are locally baked with free-range eggs, real butter and badger-friendly honey, they’re as sustainable as they are scrumptious.

Heritage Celebration Tree Bauble

Designed by Studio Muti, this Heritage Celebration Tree Bauble is filled with locally baked mini almond and cardamom biscuits and citrus, rooibos and buchu infusion tea bags

African Collection decorations

The Andrea’s Topiary range includes handcrafted wreaths and tree ornaments made by the Elgin community using locally sourced foliage.
