Get your morning started right. Proyecto Diaz’s motto is “caffeinate with purpose” because they are focused on importing Mexican coffees that rebuild the coffee farming infrastructure that doesn’t get as much attention as it should from the global coffee marketplace.

They have a bi-weekly subscription service or you can buy individual roasts from the farms that they work with.

And why skimp on the vessel that you’re using to sip that coffee or mezcal?

Mexico By Hand imports amazing Michoacan craft items that are all certified food-safe which will also light up your table when you’re using them and your cupboard when you’re not. All of these pieces are handmade, each is a unique item with its own bit of heft and curve - you can’t get more unique than this.

If you’re thinking far enough ahead make an order from Collectivo 1050 Grados - an Oaxacan collective of ceramicists - which features stunning craftsmanship and delightful motifs.

Update your lucky gift recipient style with our dazzling merchandise. The Flaviar Flask will make any tequila to-go, while they can savor their favorite spirit like a gentleman with a set of Glencairn glasses.

The famous concrete coasters are included, of course. No home bar in their house yet? Well, give them a Flaviar Bar, then. It includes a classy personalizable bar stand, barware, and glassware.

If you want to give the gift of deep consideration then consider two books that will take your breath away.

As profiled in our Mezcal in Pop Culture article, Under the Volcano is an underappreciated literary masterpiece. It’s also mezcal-soaked and a deep dive into the experience of Mexico that will reward literary seekers read after read.

Granville Greene’s Mezcal Rush is like a New Yorker essay about the contemporary world of mezcal in book form. It’s three years old now but just as fresh and resonant. Greene embedded himself with distillers and brings their craft and the surrounding culture to life but he doesn’t stop there, he travels along with the mezcal to look at how it’s sold in the U.S. and how these different cultures are intertwined.

Gift them an experience that they'll never forget. Set up a mezcal or tequila tour for when traveling to Mexico is once again on the agenda.

Mezcalistas has a full line up of regions, tour guides, and the logistics to consider.

Or here is another idea! If you check tequila lover in at the Matices Hotel de Barricas in La Cofradia, they’ll sleep in a tequila barrel in the middle of an agave field.

We’re talking about huge barrels, of course, furnished with amenities such as a minibar and AC. They also offer tasting sessions and guided tours, so we’re talking about a vacation te-qil for.

So, here you go. Happy shopping!
