The best gifts from Latino-owned shops on Etsy

For those of us who think in Spanglish sometimes the only way we can truly communicate what we mean is in Spanglish. Yes, we know it's not "correct," but to us it just feels so right.

This set of three pens is perfect for your friend who loves to journal. They each have a motivational phrase on them that will make the person that uses them smile every time they reach one.

This mug is a cute way to let someone know that you know they can handle whatever comes their way. Pair it with some good coffee beans and you are sure to make someone very happy.

It's a fun and funny gift to give to the papi chulo in your life. It will for sure make him chuckle when he gets it. And every time he wears it, he'll remember that you think he's a papi chulo.

This would be a cute gift to give to an older child or someone who is going to college. You can add some chamomile tea and explain to them that this gift will soothe them when they are sick and you can't be there to take care of them.

Even people who don't actually like the taste of coffee love the smell of it. And even those of us who love coffee admit that coffee always smells better than it tastes. This candle is a great gift for anyone who loves the smell of cafecito.

You can choose from towels that say "apaga los frijoles," "hay comida en casa," or "esta casa no es hotel." Or you could get all three. If you were raised by a mother who used these sayings, they are just the right amount of nostalgic and funny. You can gift them to your mother, siblings, or friends who are in on the joke.

These double petal sunflower earrings are handmade, which makes them extra special. They are a perfect stocking stuffer or gift for anyone who likes handmade boho vibe one-of-a-kind pieces.

If the cuteness of these molcajete con aguacate earrings isn't enough to convince you to buy from this Latina-owned Esty shop, here's a glowing review: "This is like my 5th purchase from this shop and I love everything. Everything is always shipped out quickly and individually package so it arrives safe! This latest purchase [includes] 8 pairs of earring for Christmas gifts and I am so excited to gift them all to my closest friends!!"

Here's how this Etsy seller describes their prints:

manos morenas tribu line is our tribute to our indigenous roots.

From living room, kitchen, dining room, bedroom, play or office, these bold symbols alone or collection, bring life to any space!

Tell me that these concha bath bombs aren't cute as heck and I'll tell you that you need to get your eyes checked because they are undeniably cute. This seller offers bath bombs in other designs as well, so be sure to look at everything the store has available.

This Etsy seller offers rare handmade pieces. That means that there might only be one of each available. So, if you see something you like, don't wait. Whoever is lucky enough to get one of these designs as a gift should feel very special.

If you know, you know. But in case you don't here's a review that explains it well:

These magnets are so cute I almost can’t handle it! Reminds me of the contents of my ma’s fridge when I was growing up (who am I kidding? Reminds me of the contents of MY fridge now! ) Magnets are super high quality – clearly printed w/ surprisingly excellent magnet strength. These were shipped quickly, securely, and were packaged beautifully. The bonus stickers were such a treat – thank you so much! My little girl has had a ton of fun with them – and that’s extra special for us during boring Covid lockdown. Excellent in EVERY sense – highly recommended!

There are many things about growing up Latina that are wonderful, but being told that "calladita te ves más bonita" isn't one of them. This print is a great reminder that a woman who speaks up and speaks out is a beautiful thing.

Of course, you do! These spotted cow print earrings are a great addition to any hoop lover’s collection. The colors are neutral and look great with just about anything. You might want to grab a pair for yourself.

A necklace with a word on it that describes what you think of someone can be a very touching gift. Like this one that says "fuerte." The person who you gift it to can use it as a reminder of how strong they are even when they aren't feeling all that strong.

Do you know someone who believes in the power of crystals? Buenas Vibras Crystals has a lovely array of gifts to choose from like this pendant made from unakite, which is believed to ward off any harmful or negative energy.

Need a last-minute gift that doesn't seem like a last-minute gift? Hello Sarita on Etsy offers instant digital downloads that you can print and frame yourself. Each download comes in various sizes to suit your needs.

And "educated Latina" pin is great for all the educated Latinas in your life. Think college students, recent graduates, anyone who has worked hard to learn and grow. These pins look great on denim jackets or canvas bags.

Friendship bracelets are always fun to get, but we're really loving the idea of gifting friendship ankle bracelets. This is a fun gift to give to your bestie, but remember to get one for yourself as well so that you can both have one.
