Mexican Handicrafts: Where Heritage and Creativity Meet

It is important to mention that handicrafts are part of the history of Mexico that dates back to pre-Hispanic times, and the Mexican Caribbean has a lot of history in this class. The Mayas also contributed with handicrafts, since everything they used to live, eat, hunt, etc., was made with their own hands and they decorated it to their liking with Mayan religious symbols or with some very bright colors, handed down through generations. Although over time this practice ended with the manufacture of new materials, there are still a few who continue to do this work to keep the tradition alive and teach the world what crafts are.

Alebrijes

It is believed that giving an alebrije as a gift helps scare away evil spirits from homes, especially those with a more "monstrous" appearance. You can find them in all sizes.

Mayan calendars

Made of stone, these are replicas of the original that can be of various sizes.

Honey from the Mayan communities

The honey of the Gods. Throughout the Yucatan Peninsula, there is the Maya or Melipone bee, this bee is so old that it dates back to the greatness of the Mayan empire, the meliponas are bees that do not have a sting (they do not sting) and their honey has a different a taste and properties from conventional bee honey. In addition, different products can be made with honey such as moisturizing creams, shampoos, soaps, etc. It is a unique gift idea that also helps the Mayan communities.

Textiles

Throughout the country you can find all kinds of work done on traditional looms by skilled and delicate hands, you can find from the most classic to the most recent and innovative proposals, such as bags, hammocks, hats, etc.

Wood

Traditional games are those games that continue to endure and are passed down from generation, perhaps undergoing some changes, but maintaining their essence.

Tequila or Mezcal

Although they are not originally from the Mexican Caribbean, the origin of both is ancestral, it is one of the most typical gifts in all of Mexico, and in its different varieties—it is a gift to the world.
