Hard to believe, right?

If you’re like a lot of people, sometimes it can seem difficult to shop for your dad. That’s because, well, you love your dad, and each year you strive to find that one special gift that you just know he’ll love… instead of the same old hair pomade, tie or gift card.

But if you feel like you always come up short in the gift-giving arena (even though your dad always says he loves what you get him no matter what it is), take a look through these awesome gift ideas we’ve curated for you.

21 Best Cinco de Mayo Gifts for Friends, Coworkers, & Fun

December 29, 2022April 12, 2022 by Melyssa

Today we’re going to look at the best Cinco de Mayo gifts. Come May 5th, it’s time to celebrate the incredible heritage of Mexico and Mexican-American culture!

Cinco de Mayo pays tribute to the Mexican army’s 1862 victory over France, but no, it’s not Mexico’s Independence Day (that’s September 16th. Yay! Another celebration!).

In the beginning of Cinco de Mayo’s history, the party goers would dress in Civil War uniforms and re-enact the Battle of Puebla. Later, in the 1970s, the holiday evolved into more of a civil unrest protest, police brutality against Hispanics, and had a more political lean.

Today, it’s a simpler holiday that reminds us more of St. Patrick’s Day, and the Fourth of July. It’s a time to honor the wonderful Hispanic culture and cuisine.

So… think lots of food, music, friends, and family! We’re here for it. And we’re here for the gifts, too. Whatever your Cinco de Mayo gift needs may be, you’ll find the perfect present on our list.
