The Queen Behind Gifts Galore Zw and the priceless money bouquets

Rutendo Mazhindu – Zim Now Reporter

When Sarah Magwere folds a dollar bill, it’s not just craft — it’s a statement. A declaration of independence. Resilience. Love, wrapped in ribbons, snackboxes, and handwritten notes. Her hands don’t just make things. They tell stories.

Sarah is the founder and heartbeat of Gifts Galore Zw, a thriving gift business that has won the hearts of TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook users with her handcrafted creations. But this brand wasn’t born out of privilege — it started with one simple desire: to be her own woman.

“I was inspired by the drive to be an independent young lady,” she said. That fire pushed her to move from a regular job to investing every spare dollar into flower boxes and snack combos crafted in her spare time. Today, that passion has become a full-time business that feeds both her creativity and her livelihood.

And she’s done it all on her own.

“I’m the owner and founder of Gifts Galore Zw. I’ve been running the business alone for about two years,” she told Zim Now, tucking in a ribbon as she prepared another order.

No sponsors. No partners. Just one woman, a dream, and a relentless belief in the beauty of what she could create.

To get it off the ground, Sarah dipped into her own pocket. “I used to work at a different job to sponsor my business capital,” she said. These days, she fuels the business through consistency and smart social media marketing. “I grow my business through advertising on platforms like TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram.”

But it’s not just viral-worthy content keeping Gifts Galore Zw afloat — it’s the heart behind every piece. Whether it’s a snackbox for a school lunch or a money bouquet for bae, each product carries a personal touch.

“All our gifts and products are made with love and passion,” said Sarah. “We always include notecards to ensure the person receiving it feels special.”

And it’s working. Her snackboxes have become cult favourites.

“Snackboxes are the most popular product for my business,” she said. “They’re an easy way to pack kids’ lunchboxes or for someone to enjoy snacks at home or work.”

Simple in concept, powerful in delivery — each box is a reminder of what thoughtful, beautiful, and convenient gifting can look like.

Then there’s her signature creation: the money bouquet — a true flex for birthdays and celebrations.

“The first step is sourcing clean dollars,” Sarah explained. “Then we use bond sticks to fold the money. We attach those to floral oasis, then wrap it all beautifully with paper.”

The result? A jaw-dropping arrangement of crisp bills, folded like roses and wrapped with care — stunning enough to impress a mother-in-law or a Valentine’s date.

To ensure smooth operations, Sarah requires a fixed deposit from clients to confirm bookings and avoid last-minute cancellations. Despite the costs of sourcing clean notes, she covers that herself — because presentation matters.

Her clients? Creative, daring, and deeply involved.

“I have so many amazing clients — I couldn’t pick just one,” she said. “They come with fascinating ideas for me to bring to life.”

Sarah isn’t just selling gifts. She’s crafting moments. Apologies. Celebrations. Love stories. Her work is the quiet background to loud joy — the behind-the-scenes magic that turns an ordinary day into something unforgettable.

In a society that often underestimates young, self-made women, Sarah Magwere is standing tall — armed with wrapping paper, glue guns, crisp dollars, and a whole lot of heart.
