Souvenirs from Mexico?

Question

My boyfriend is on vacation in Mexico right now...He wants to bring me back something but I've never been there and don't know what there is....What types of things can he bring back for me?

Answer 1

If he is in Cancun or anywhere in Yucatan, ask him to bring you a traditional dress or blouse from Yucatan...they are beautiful.  Also, Oaxaca has beautiful traditional clothing...and other places too.

Answer 2

There is really nice pottery and hand woven blankets. Jewelery, Taxco silver is the best, as far as the silver goes. Tequila is always good.

Answer 3

Don't know if it's very cold where you are right now, here in Mexico City and surroundings it is......... brrrrrrrr...... it might be a good idea to get you some handmade scarves, gloves, or hats........ even a hand knitted "poncho" or a rebozo (shawl) are very nice, the latter won't be too useful for the cold weather but it makes a nice complement for any dress.

The silver jewelry can also be very nice, depends on your tastes but you can find a lot of different stuff and very pretty at that.

Answer 4

It depends on where he is but in Mexico City they sell braceletts made of beads that are really cool. Those are not expensive either. If you want something more expensive, but mid-range, you can get nice little paintings for around 20 dollars or so. Tee-shirts are great too.

Answer 5

I love the Mexican pottery. Very colorful and useful. How about small bowls for salad or a large bowl for fruit.

Also Margarita glasses are nice to have.

Or on the personal level, a local perfume that is made in Mexico. Silver jewelry is always nice.

I always buy vanilla that is made in Mexico.

Enjoy your present whatever you suggest to him.)

Answer 6

Well, what part of Mexico is he in? Every state has it's own specialty from pottery, embroideries, handmade crafts, etc. It just depends exactly where he is.
