Ever since starting our r&d for the upcoming Salt & Wind Spain trips, we’ve been taking major cues from this country on everything from our fashion to our cooking and, now, our gift giving.
Spain’s lively culture and culinary prestige brings us a wealth of gift-giving inspo and we’re psyched about giving our loved ones a piece of this vividly colorful country. Take a peek inside our gift guide and see how you can bring the Spanish vibes to your friends and fam!
Call us biased since we’re Barcelona bound in a few months, but, in our view, no one quite does drinking chocolate like the Spaniards. From a late night post-partying snack with a few churros to cozying up with a cup at a cafe, we’re always game for chocolate a la taza. And If we can’t be in Barcelona this holiday season, at least we’re there in spirit with a mug of dark drinking chocolate by our side.
In true Spanish tradition, this chocolate is rich as can be so don’t say we didn’t warn you! This stuff is so addictive that you’ll be booking a flight to Spain with us faster than you can say !un més si us plau!
Win the hostess-gift-giving game with this classic Spanish spirit that we can’t get enough of when we’re in Barcelona. You may think of vermouth as merely a mixer for classic cocktails (like the Man O' War) but on the rocks it's a best friend to Spanish flavors.
As it's finally starting to become more popular stateside, we're seeing more and more Spanish brands at our favorite wine stores. To order some for yourself, turn to Lustau Red Vermut, which is just as good on its own as it is mixed with quality spiced whiskey and citrus. We’ll be stocking up on bottles of this classic Spanish drink to prep our palettes for all the vermouth we’ll be tasting on our next trip to Spain.
Back alley explorations in Barcelona and seaside walks in Costa Brava demand some sandals that can go the distance. These Avarca sandals are an artisanal classic that seemingly every Spaniard of every age, from little tots to grandmothers, sport.

The mod decor that we are crushing on as of late? This artisanally woven Macrame Wall Hanging by RanRan Design. We love that it adds the perfect beachy-cool accent to any room that it’s in, and that each art piece is handwoven in Spain just for you and yours.
