Who we are

Gifts that do more than impress

At Kristy Creatives, the home of “Bamboo by Kristy”, we believe corporate and personal gifts should do more than impress. They should create lasting impact.

We transform responsibly sourced bamboo into premium, handcrafted products that celebrate Ugandan artistry while empowering local artisans and protecting the environment. Every piece is thoughtfully designed to reflect quality, sustainability, and the beauty of our homeland.

Whether you’re looking for distinctive corporate gifts or timeless lifestyle creations, our bamboo collections help you express your values with elegance and confidence.

“I started Bamboo by Kristy from my love for creativity, Ugandan heritage, and sustainability. Through our bamboo products, we encourage tree planting, the growing of more bamboo, and support companies and communities on their sustainability journey towards a greener future.”

Dorothy Kristy, founder of Bamboo by Kristy

Our story

Handcrafted with heart, purpose, and the true spirit of Uganda

Bamboo by Kristy was born from a master’s class inspired by a passion for tourism, creativity, and Ugandan culture. For many years, traditional African crafts have been the primary souvenirs offered to visitors coming to Uganda. While these crafts remain beautiful and meaningful, the vision behind Bamboo by Kristy was to create an alternative: something unique, modern, and memorable that still celebrates African identity.

The idea was simple: to offer guests and tourists another meaningful option they could take home as a reminder of their experience in Uganda. This led to the creation of handcrafted bamboo products that combine authenticity, elegance, and functionality.

What makes Bamboo by Kristy even more special is the ability to customize each craft with company branding and personal details. This transforms every piece into more than just a souvenir: it becomes a powerful marketing tool and a lasting memory for visitors, organizations, and businesses alike.

“Take a memory home with every bamboo gift we craft.”
