Ed’s note: This is the first in a series of posts that Sarah of Babazeka fame, will be publishing on SA Rocks. This series is surely going to help many people decide on how to get their holiday shopping done this year!
I (the owner of Babazeka.com) have been asked to host a series of posts about online shopping in South Africa. You’ll be hearing about our own shop, no doubt, but first I want to chat about some of the others who are doing wonders in the South African e-commerce world. I’m not going to talk about the big guys like Kalahari, Woolworths and Netflorist, as it’s the little guys who are slogging away that I feel deserve the mention.
The first business I’d like to tell you about is Faithful to Nature. They’re an online shop which sells organic and natural cosmetics, detergents, baby products and more recently, food. The owners, Robyn and Chris, are extremely passionate about increasing South African consumers’ awareness of our effect on the earth, and so they not only sell green products, but offer huge amounts of advice on all things related to living a more eco-friendly life. They’ve also recently launched an online Eco Directory.
Their products are not only good for the environment and our bodies, but many of their suppliers have a social conscience too (which, of course, we at Babazeka are very pleased about). Businesses such as Eco Products and Esse do a lot to uplift their surrounding communities by providing jobs and following fair trade principles.
So, why not consider all-round guilt free shopping this Christmas by buying your gifts from Faithful to Nature. There are some fabulous options for both him and her. Take a look at their massage oils, bath salts, organic make-up, jams, relishes, teas and coffees. Then, there are foot scrubs, moisturizers and aftershaves. Plus a whole heap of gift hampers too.
Consider going green this Christmas by supporting Faithful to Nature. The fact that they recently won Best Health and Beauty Store 2008 is true testament to their excellent service and their fabulous product range. Enjoy!

I love these guys – wouldn’t buy my natural products from anywhere else! You place the order, and it arrives, promptly, within 24 hours, every time. And all the goodies… mmmm… who knew natural stuff could be so much fun?
