The festive season is here, and if you’re stuck wondering what to get your loved ones, why not take a cue from the unforgettable personalities who light up our screens on Zambezi Magic? Our characters have lived through drama, romance, betrayal, redemption, and everything in between, so trust us, they know a good gift when they see one. Here’s a fun and entertaining gift guide inspired by your favourite stars and storylines.

Let’s start with the always-bold Mazoka from Inkondo. If there’s anyone who defines presence, it’s him. This Christmas, gift your stylish uncle or brother a sharp hat or a gentleman’s walking cane: the kind Mazoka would tilt to the side as he makes an entrance no one forgets.

And who can forget Lillian’s sparkling love story? For the romantic at heart, nothing says “I adore you” like a diamond ring inspired by Devon’s unforgettable proposal. Whether it’s real or symbolic, the shine will remind them of that iconic moment.

For the music lovers (or the ones who say they’re working on an album), take inspiration from Haanta and gift them a brand-new album or even studio time. Who knows? You might just help them finish the project they’ve been “working on” all year.

If you’re shopping for someone who simply wants peace in their love life, go the Nampindi route: give them a promise of true, loyal love (just without Dimuna’s complications). Maybe a couples’ spa voucher or a heartfelt handwritten letter can seal the deal.

For those who need a break, think big like Nguzu, who once gifted Tombi a luxurious trip. A weekend getaway or a trip to a nearby country might be exactly what someone in your circle deserves this Christmas.

Then we have the families who remind us of the power of unity: Alexander, Lindiwe, Penjani and Wongani. For them, the ultimate festive gift is simple: togetherness. A family lunch, matching PJs, or a framed photo could be the sweetest present.

Finally, for anyone hoping for a better year ahead, take notes from Albert, who offered Nuru a fresh start. A new job, skill course, or professional tool could be the perfect life-changing gift.

And for everyone, no matter the personality? A DStv subscription: the gift that keeps on giving, episode after episode.

This Christmas, make it magical with Zambezi Magic!
