2014 Peru Inspired Gift Guide

If youre looking for Peru inspired gifts, youve come to the right place! Here are a few ideas to get you started.

Food and Drinks
Paneton and hot chocolate is a staple during the Christmas season. While some might snub their nose at fruitcake (paneton), Peruvians love it. Drinking hot chocolate during summer might seem odd, but hey, its Christmas, so why not? While Colombia might be famous for coffee, any coffee connoisseur will know to check out Peruvian coffee. Check out Peruvian coffee beans and unroasted beans as well. Dont forget a Peruvian mug.

For the cook in your life, Peruvian cookbooks are the way to go. Theyll find great recipes like ceviche, lomo saltado, aji de gallina, papa rellena, and much more.

Alpaca
Wool socks are a game changer. Once you try them out you wont go back to cotton socks. They can last for years, are much better for your feet than cotton since theyre anti-fungal, and many of them can be tossed in the dryer. Alpaca is superior to wool since it is softer, warmer, and has no lanolin which means its hypoallergenic. Alpaca socks are amazing. Considering how much use youll get out of them, they are a relatively inexpensive gift, so buy a pair or two for yourself as well.

Alpaca sweaters are warm and have gorgeous designs. Theyre super soft and people love wearing them. Traditional Peruvian hats, such as the chullo, will keep your loved ones warm through the cold winter months. Dont forget a warm shawl or even a poncho that they can wrap around themselves to protect them from windy days.

Alpaca can be used for more than clothing. It also makes great blankets and throws. Its nice for cozying up on the couch and drinking hot cocoa, from a Peruvian mug, of course.

Decor
Machu Picchu is absolutely breath taking. Theres some gorgeous wall art featuring this famous landmark that will be sure to get everyones attention. If you know someone who wants to add some unique Peruvian decor to their home, consider a map of Peru. Ranging from old fashioned maps to watercolors, theres something for everyone.

Jewelry
Peruvian jewelry ranges from fine jewelry to woven handicrafts. Bracelets featuring the Nazca Lines and a Tumi pendant make pretty, unique gifts.
