¡Hola a todos! As we approach the holiday season, I thought it would be a great idea to create a gift guide. Whether you are looking for inspiration or are stuck on what to get your loved ones, below is a diverse list full of fun ideas.
For those friends and family members with a sweet tooth, check out the ideas below.
Puerto Rican Coquito:
A fun spin-off of holiday eggnog, Puerto Rican coquito is a delicious blend of coconut crème, coconut milk, condensed milk, evaporated milk, cinnamon, and white rum (for those who can partake). The sweet holiday treat can be packaged in cute holiday-decorated bottles and make for an amazing gift.
Tres Leches:
Coming in next we have a fan favorite of tres leches. This creamy delicious cake is always a good idea when it comes to gift-giving. A classic, this vanilla cake soaked in sweet condensed and evaporated milk, topped off with a layer of heavy cream frosting is guaranteed to leave the whole family begging for a slice. Whether you are picking it up from your local repostería or making it yourself, tres leches is the way to go.
Lip-to-Lid Balmies:
These adorable makeup sticks are created by the Latinx-owned brand Axiology Beauty. The day-to-night sticks make for a fabulous gift whether it is for your Abuela who loves a bold lip or any loved ones who would rock these colors. The cruelty-free makeup sticks not only make you feel good on the outside but also on the inside knowing you are supporting a Latinx brand that does not test on animals.
Palo Santo Holder:
This trendy Palo Santo holder is perfect for any and all spiritual tías. Whether you love the smell or want to purify your space for the next year, this Palo Santo holder by Luna Sundara is perfect for you.
Latinx-Owned Brands on Etsy:
Whether you’re looking for a small stocking stuffer or a one-of-a-kind piece for your loved one, Etsy’s Latinx Owned shops are where you need to be! You will find something for everyone on your list, and maybe a piece or two for you too!
I hope you all found some inspiration with this holiday list. If you try any of these out, please send us a picture or DM us on Instagram as we would love to see them. Have a safe and healthy break and we hope to see you all soon!
