The breaking news is that Santa is in Town! At least that’s what your kids believe. 
Santa comes bearing gifts. And when your little ones wake up on Christmas day, they better find some goodies that Santa brought while they slept…
And if you are visiting with your family back in the village, over the holidays, your cousins, nieces and nephews can’t wait to see what you will have brought them from the big city. In short you will be required to play Santa because the reality on the ground is that Santa does not exist.
It’s that season of the year when we celebrate the fact that we made it to the end of the year, and for Christians, the birth of Christ. All the same it is a time for everyone to share love, and happiness and exchange gifts with loved ones.
So what do you get for your mum, your husband or your child? Here are some suggestions that might help:
Mum :
Something comfy, yet stylish. Think wedges, or flats. Mum is a nurturer. You will not go wrong with anything that will pamper her feet.
Dad :
A pair of Safari boots or Safari sandals will impress dad. Throw in a matching belt and dad will be talking about it for weeks.
Golf shoes are also ideal if dad is golfer. Try these :
Sister / Daughter :
Depending on what she likes, get her something fun and yet comfortable. Let sis her show off her pretty toes in these :
If she’s little, then you will not go wrong with anything from our girls’ dress collection.
Brother / Son :
Try the Gideon boot, any of our Northstars , or the Weinbrenner range. If your brother is younger, a pair of kids Safari boots or sandals will capture well, the adventurous spirit of the holidays.
These boys casuals whose sole provides a good grip, will appeal to the tree climber in him.
Wife /Girlfriend :
Nothing says “I love you” like a thoughtful gift. You know her taste. Get her a pair from our Marie Claire or Comfit collection – something she’d wear to church or for a get-together with the girls. A handbag is a great idea too.
What do you mean you don’t know her shoe size? !
Don’t worry. We’ve got you covered on that one. Get her a Bata Gift voucher. She will be pleased that you let her choose her own present.
Don’t forget to enclose a hand written note, to go with the voucher. 
Husband/Boyfriend :
We all know men do not like shopping. He will really appreciate that you went into the trouble of buying him a shoe. Suggestions? Weinbrenner boots, Safari boots , or sandals would be appropriate, so his hard working feet can take a break this Christmas holiday.
Have a very merry Christmas and happy shopping!

I love Safari, hush puppies & weinbrenner brands. Am yet to find anything close to the quality offered at Bata. We are a Bata family. Proudly Kenyan. Excellent rebranding at Kenyatta avenue branch
Thanks Nick for the vote of confidence. We’ll strive to maintain those high standards.
Thank you Bata! I have managed, over the years, to maintain my feet, those of my wife, 3 year-old daughter and my late mum who passed on at 81 this year comfortably soothed by Bata leather and canvas shoes. And with the Bata Executives I stand out with any of the 4 pairs I bought! When i am working out of the country, i am, of course, in my safari boots! I will check these out when I am back to Kenya!
Keep up the great work, I am proud to be Kenyan and to be building Kenya!
