I bought three of the tiny creatures baby toys to send to a friend in America. They are extremely cute and a perfect size for a young baby. I have had a good pull at the eyes and they are secure. Curiosity African Boutique were very proactive in informing me that they had had difficulties with a certain courier company and that there would be a slight delay in delivery. The package came within days and I was delighted with the contents . I would highly recommend this company. Excellent service!
I bought a beautiful throw with exceptional colors. The service was exceptional. I received my order two days, traveling from the bush to Durban area after purchasing. Highly recommend.
