Ideas for Mexican themed hamper please

sethsgran

My daughter married a few weeks ago so they are just setting up their 1st home. They both love Mexican food so I plan to do them a hamper for christmas, not the food just dishes bowls plates recipe books etc. Any suggestions of what I could get and also what would look good to put it all in please. Maybe even an apron or 2!

A few bottles of Sol? Can you find a huge sombero to put it all in? A disc with some Mariachi music? Once Upon a Time in Mexico £2.99 from HMV!

:Twhat a fantastic present
arent mexican dishes like tapas in style?
i just had a look on ebay and discounting the "normal" brown glazed tapas bowls they have some very funky red ones and yellow ones
more mexican stylie

not suggesting you buy from any of these, just that they seem to have the same inspiration, as both do lots of little dishes of stuff

These are all great ideas thank you so much. They are certainly ideas to feed off.

A cactus?

If it doesn't have to be kitchen only things then Lush are doing mexican day of the dead things this year instead of traditional halloween. Maybe a nice soak after a long cooking session or hand soap for the kitchen?

What about some hot sauces, some tequila? Love the cactus idea.

A chip and dip set? There are lots of websites selling traditional mexican pottery too.

What about a grow your own chillies kit - there are lots online?

Even cheaper, just pop in a few packets of chilli seeds.

I think Nandos is Portugese.

Are mojitos Mexican? You can get the pre-mix sachets in supermarkets for about a £.
