Five Ideas for Holiday Gift Giving the Spanish Way

December 20, 2017 Melanie Glover
Spanish Christmas Gifts 12-20-2017.jpg

The holidays are just around the corner!  I love putting together themed gifts for family, friends, co-workers, nannies -- you name it!  Here is a quick list of last-minute gift ideas for your loved ones -- Spanish style.

--Turron (Spanish candy with a texture similar to fudge)

--Spanish wine (a popular choice is wine from the Rioja region in Spain)

--Spanish cheese (a popular choice is manchego)

--Saffron (great for cooking, especially in paella)

--Marcona almonds

--BONUS:  Olives

Search your local gourmet grocery stores, or I recommend visiting latienda.com for these goodies.  Throw them together in a small- or medium-sized basket, and you've got a polished, yummy gift that will surely impress!

Happy holidays and felices fiestas from Balanza and Beyond!

A friend once told me, life sometimes doesn't make sense; it has its ups and downs.  But the cast has been amazing.  Feeling #grateful today for all the actors that ended up in my story.
