Amazing people pots carved from one piece of wood.  These charming carvings are found all over East Africa- but usually only as a sculpture, not something functional.  Being a NY'er in a typically small NY apartment, I like things into which I can put (hide) other things.  So here we are.   You should buy this before I change my mind about selling it - I wish I had bought more!

And if you really want a cool gift- get the People Pens too.  They are adorable.
