New Latino family gift guide arrives in time for the holidays

A new on-line Latino Family Holiday Gift Guide has been launched featuring affordable and creative products that promote Hispanic heritage by innovative artists and entrepreneurs from across the country. The web site at www.latinofamilygiftguide.com carries items that range from the traditional and cultural to the hot and hip for those who might prefer to do their shopping on-line this holiday season.

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) November 19, 2008 — The first on-line Latino Family Holiday Gift Guide has launched at www.latinofamilygiftguide.com and features an affordable and creative variety of products that promote Spanish and Hispanic heritage.

The guide includes everything from books to ornaments to t-shirts by innovative artists and entrepreneurs from all over the country. The web site will run through the beginning of the new year in order to celebrate the Day of the Magi on January 6 – the traditional day for exchanging gifts in many Spanish-speaking countries.

Sponsored by Texas-based Latin Baby, which specializes in baby products with a Hispanic theme, the new gift guide comes with innovative gift items for American families and friends. Items range from the traditional and cultural to the hot and hip, all affordably priced for today’s on-line shoppers:
• “Feliz Navidad” infant creepers by Latin Baby
• Frida Kahlo bracelets by KumKuLove
• Día de los Muertos holiday tree ornaments by Casa Q Ornaments
• “Body butter” lotion by BienElla

Whether it’s a Spanish saying expressed on T-shirts in a lively design and texture by Hecho Latino or in a hardback book form by Dichos de mi Madre, these products capture the holiday spirit. Los Pollitos Dicen (The Little Chicks Say) offers unique and colorful onesies, Baby Chaleco has baby holiday bibs, and ethnic dolls by Dolls Like Me or Mexican Masterpieces would be the perfect gift for any child.
Whimsical Walney has infant and toddler shirts that expand their vocabularies in Spanish, English or French. And Proud Tots carries a distinctive line of shabby-chic/vintage-style blankets.

Because demand for Spanish and bilingual books continues to accelerate, the guide includes several kid-friendly items by companies such as Frijolitos Inc., which offers an enchanting story of family and friendship in Picadillo the Armadillo. Boca Beth offers children’s songs and dances on CDs and DVDs.

How about giving a gift that lasts all year long? A subscription to Iguana Magazine offers Spanish-language children’s stories and articles, while the Latin Baby Book Club carries a large number of bilingual books and maintains a blog with weekly posts, author interviews, and monthly giveaways.

And if you’re concerned about your pocketbook this year, the guide also has a section for those looking for gifts under $20. New product listings may be added through January, so be sure to check back often.
