Not Your Typical Nestle: Organic Mexican Hot Chocolate Stone Ground Sampler Pack

If they’ve never had stone-ground hot chocolate, they’re in for a treat! It’s a uniquely Mexican phenomenon where dark chocolate chunks are melted into milk and then whisked with a molinillo for cafe-style frothiness.

The chocolate can be cut with many different flavors, including chili, cinnamon, nuts, vanilla and coffee, so the texture is gritty and the flavors are rich and earthy. This sampler pack has eight different varieties for your gift recipient to try, all of them in the form of pure, unsnapped dark chocolate discs, so they’ll get the taste and the experience of preparing authentic stone-ground hot chocolate for themselves!

Home on the Range: Handwoven Serape Blanket

The serape is probably one of the first things that comes to mind when thinking about Mexico. It’s a long, blanket-like cloak that’s woven in many bright colors and worn widely throughout the country, so much so that it’s become just as synonymous with “south of the border” as the sombrero.

The serape can be used for picnics, beach days, fashion statements, couch cuddles, yoga sessions and more; it’s a very versatile linen. This particular blanket is made with a combination of acrylic and cotton for extra softness, and it’s available in a dozen different patterns to match your particular sense of style.

To Get a Little Nostalgic on Game Night: Authentic Don Clemente Loteria Card Game

Everyone in Latin America is familiar with Loteria; it’s a card game that once traveled the world from Italy to Spain to Mexico. This particular version was drawn by the famous artist Don Clemente in the 1880s, and his sketches of suns, roosters, roses and drums have become popular images of Mexican culture worldwide.

The rules of the game are simple, and you don’t need anything but the cards and some kind of small markers for each bingo-like turn. You can use beads, coins, corks and even things like pinto beans if you’re feeling traditional.

Have fun!
