2016 Peru Inspired Gift Guide
2016 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 DrinkPeruvian grains are becoming famous around the world. A great healthy gift is maca. Theres a reason this super food is getting tons of attention. Its much better than rice and packed with nutrition.
If you want to buy a unique non-alcoholic drink for someone, try Inca Kola. Its what Coca Cola is to the USA and what Irn Bru is to Scotland. Chicha morada is a drink made from purple corn. Although it sounds weird, its really good and unique to Peru.
Know someone who loves cooking? Peruvian cookbooks have tons of great recipes like ceviche, lomo saltado, aji de gallina, papa rellena, and much more.
AlpacaWool socks are a game changer. Once you try them out you wont go back to cotton socks. Wool socks can last for years, theyre much better for your feet than cotton since theyre anti-fungal, and many of them can be tossed in the dryer. Alpaca is superior than wool since it is softer, warmer, and has no lanolin which means its hypoallergenic. If you havent tried alpaca socks, you definitely need to!
Traditional Peruvian hats, such as the chullo, will keep you warm through the cold winter months. Dont forget a warm shawl or even a poncho that you can wrap around you to protect you from windy days. Alpaca can be used for more than clothing. It also makes great blankets and throws. You can cozy up on your couch and drink hot cocoa from a Peruvian mug.
