AirPods 4 at KES 22,000 are the easiest gift to get right — everyone with a phone uses them. AirPods 5 are KES 24,000. A HomePod mini at KES 18,000 is a great gift for music lovers.

Gifts under KES 50,000

AirPods Pro 3 at KES 33,000 add noise cancellation, perfect for matatu rides and flights. The Apple Watch SE 3 from KES 38,000 tracks fitness, sleep and heart rate, and shows WhatsApp notifications on the wrist (it needs an iPhone).

The best iPad to surprise someone

The iPad (A16) from KES 63,000 is the iPad we recommend as a gift: big enough for films and video calls with family, simple enough for children and parents, and fast enough for students. For a creative person, add an Apple Pencil (USB-C). For someone special who reads a lot, the iPad mini from KES 75,000 is a lovely surprise. Read our best iPad for students guide for more.

For graduations and big milestones: the iPhone 17 from KES 120,000, the Apple Watch Series 11 from KES 50,000, or a MacBook Air from KES 148,000 to start a career. You can spread a big gift with Lipa Mdogo Mdogo.

Gift tips

Check the person uses an iPhone before buying an Apple Watch. Buy sealed new so they can set it up with their own Apple ID. Keep the invoice for warranty. Collect at Norwich Union House, Nairobi CBD, or have it delivered in Nairobi — order on the site and add the recipient's details in the delivery address.
