The room where the Kwanzaa feast will be held ought to be dominated by a large Kwanzaa setting. It is recommended that a large Mkeka be positioned in the floor's center. The food should be arranged artistically and made available to everyone so they can serve themselves.

The gifts are traditionally given out on January 1st, which is the seventh and final day of Kwanzaa. These gifts are typically exchanged between the parents and the children. Because gift-giving has a significant bearing on Kuumba, the presents that are given ought to be instructional or artistic in character.
