CELEBRATE GIFTS · ESTABLISHED IN KIGALI · RWANDA
The House
What began as one creative designer's vision in Kigali has grown into a house devoted to the art of giving. This is the story of Celebrate Gifts — and the people who make every gift feel personal.
OUR STORY
It began with a single box
Aston Guevara SEKA is a creative designer who believed that every gift should carry the weight of the thought behind it. Working from Kigali, he set out to create something different — gifts that speak before they are opened.
What started as a personal passion quickly became a calling. Word spread through Kigali and beyond, and Celebrate Gifts grew from a one-person studio into a team of dedicated craftspeople. What never changed was the conviction that a gift is a sentence spoken in objects — and that it deserves to be composed with care.
Today a small team of curators, makers and designers carries that belief forward from our studio on KK 1 Ave in Kimihurura. Every gift still passes through human hands before it reaches yours.

WHAT WE BELIEVE
Four principles, kept closely
Craft
Made and finished by hand. The marks of a person are a feature, never a flaw.
Restraint
We remove before we add. Elegance is what remains when nothing is excessive.
Permanence
Boxes meant to be kept, pieces meant to outlast the occasion they marked.
Care
The recipient is always the point. We design for their moment, not our portfolio.
