If you are searching for how to send things to Uganda, the answer depends on what the thing is. Household goods, documents and items you can only buy where you live belong in a parcel or cargo shipment. A gift for a date, such as flowers for Mum's birthday, a cake for a sibling, a Christmas hamper or a surprise at someone's office, is easier and safer to have made in Kampala and delivered by hand. MistaGift does exactly that from our shop at Kyato Complex, next to Equatorial Mall, and sends you a photo when it is handed over.
Two different jobs
Send a parcel when: - the item only exists where you live (a particular brand, a book, clothing in a size you have already checked); - there is no deadline, and a few extra days do not matter; - it is a document or something personal that must come from your hands.
Order locally in Uganda when: - the gift is tied to a date: a birthday, an anniversary, a graduation, Christmas, a hospital visit; - it is fresh: flowers, a cake, fruit; - it is a surprise, and the timing at the door matters as much as the gift; - you want proof that it arrived, and a photo of the person receiving it.
Nothing we deliver is shipped from abroad. The gift is prepared in Kampala and taken to the door, office or reception you give us.

How an order from abroad works
- Message us on WhatsApp at +256 759 633 013 with who the gift is for, the town in Uganda and the date.
- Choose from the options we send, or describe what you want and we suggest something.
- Pay by Visa, Mastercard, Wise, PayPal or Mobile Money, the options listed on our site. Many senders also use Remitly or Pegasus. Orders are confirmed only after payment is received.
- We prepare and deliver. A WhatsApp photo at delivery is standard. If you want to see the gift before it leaves the shop, ask and we send a photo first.
Same day in Kampala: order at least two hours before the delivery time you want. Outside Kampala, tell us the town and we confirm the delivery day before you pay. Our WhatsApp is monitored from 8 AM to 8 PM East Africa Time, seven days a week, so a message sent from another time zone is waiting for us when we come online.
Country guides
Each guide covers time differences and payment for that country: the UK, the USA, Canada, Europe (Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and more), the UAE, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, DR Congo, South Sudan and Nigeria. The overview is on send gifts to Uganda.
Questions people ask
What is the easiest way to send a gift to Uganda from abroad? Order it from a team already in Uganda. MistaGift prepares the gift in Kampala, delivers it and sends you a photo, so nothing has to be shipped.
Do I need a courier to send a birthday gift to Kampala? No. For flowers, cake, a hamper or a surprise, order locally and choose the delivery time. A courier makes sense only for items you can buy where you live and nowhere else.
How will I know the gift arrived? You receive a WhatsApp photo at delivery. A photo before it leaves the shop is available on request.
Can you deliver outside Kampala? Yes. Give us the town and we confirm the delivery day before you pay.
Can the card be written in my own language? Yes. Send the message exactly as you want it and we reproduce it on the card.
Tell us who it is for, where they are in Uganda and the date that matters: WhatsApp +256 759 633 013. Orders are confirmed only after payment is received.
