Hello, Latino. Question: Do you like things, and also stuff? Good, because we have prepared a list of things and stuff that perhaps you might like. And it’s all Latino-themed! From luchalibre wrestlers to La Virgen de Guadalupe to adorable, vintage Corona trays, this is all stuff that is entirely Mexican in its cultural references, but meant to totally suffice for all Hispanics everywhere. Suddenly, we feel so placated and catered to. Anyway, here’s a list of some Cute Stuff You Might Like: ¡Arriba!:


Lucha Libre Piggy Bank - $16

Like money? And putting it places? Do you also enjoy lucha libre, a fun thing that Latinos are crazy for? Then buy this Lucha Libre piggy bank! They’re pretty cute, actually, and come in a variety of different colors and designs (or at least two, judging from the site).

Lucha Wrestlers Wooden Jumping Toy - $14

Bored? Tired or unable to gather one or more willing participants to indulge in mostly unboring pastimes such as eating, having sex or eating while having sex? Then play with this little wooden man jumping up and down on a stick.

Virgen de la Guadalupe Bag - $16

These bags were ubiquitous on our trip to New Mexico. We think they’re kind of cute and very useful for carrying things like cell phones, makeup, knitting supplies, nipple clamps or used underwear purchased off the internet.

Glow-in-the-Dark Rosary - $6

Just in time to jump onto another heinous trend revival! Woohoo! Says the site:

these rosary beads from tesoros are so fun…they glow in the dark. we’re obsessed with all these religious things, in case you haven’t noticed!

The fact that it glows in the dark just adds that extra little bit of coolness when you’re wearing it while engaging in premarital sex in some darkened den.

Tin Heart - $25

A saint in a heart, made of tin. The perfect gift for your mom, who does not have enough knick-knacks to dust. Although, seriously, we have a dream of lining our bathroom wall with an assortment of tin ornaments. Until we remember how much we love not to clean.

    I own a vintage corona tray!!
    I used to dance ballet folklorico.. we used them for a Yucatan dance.. we would balance the trays on our head along with a bottle of negra modelo and 4 glasses.

    I was thinking “It looks like a mass raid of Tesoros down on South Congress here in Austin.” And what do you know? It is!
