Forget the generic postcards and mass produced curios. If you’re looking for the best unique souvenir in Cape Town, the most meaningful item you can take home in 2026 isn't something you bought off a shelf—it’s something you created with your own hands.
At 2handsy Experience, located in the historic Montebello Design Centre in Newlands, we’ve reimagined what it means to bring a piece of the Mother City home with you.
Why a Hand-Casting is the Ultimate Cape Town Keepsake
While most tourist activities in Cape Town end with a photo on your phone, a 2handsy session leaves you with a high-definition, custom-finished statue OF YOUR OWN HANDS!
Whether you are traveling as a couple on an anniversary trip, exploring with your best friend, or visiting as a family, this is a 1-of-1 creative experience that captures your physical connection at this exact moment in time.
A Saturday Highlight for Your 2026 Itinerary
If you are planning things to do in Cape Town on a Saturday, 2handsy is a top-tier choice. Our sessions kick off at 2:00 PM, making it the perfect follow-up to a morning at the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens or a stroll through the Newlands forests.
Unlike standard workshops, we lean into the "experience" side of things. Expect:
Interactive Games: To break the ice, get the energy flowing and have fun while you wait for the end result.
The Big Reveal: The viral-worthy moment you peel back the mould to see your creation.
Aesthetic Setting: Based at the leafy Montebello craft hub, it’s one of the most
Instagrammable spots in Cape Town.
"Will it fit in my luggage?"
This is the #1 question from our international guests. The answer is a resounding YES. Our hand-cast statues are durable, compact, and perfectly travel-friendly. They fit easily into a carry-on or checked bag, and will not be a problem when checking in or out, ensuring your Cape Town souvenir makes it safely across the globe to your mantelpiece.
