Art Camp, short for Artesanas Campesinas or rural women artisans, is a women-owned cooperative that continues this tradition.  The group continues to introduces new methods, materials, and machinery to compete in the highly competitive jewelry market, surviving a collapse in the 1990’s in the marketability of their pieces with the influx of jewelry from other countries to the US market. The women have become business women, understanding the importance of customer service, quality, and design. The jewelry product range includes semi-precious stones, shells, or tiny flowers captured in resin accentuated by silver alloys or precious metals. The tradition of fine Mexican jewelry is present in each piece.  Every time she puts it on she’ll think of you.

But if you want to get more creative,  you’ve done the jewelry thing… and you want to REALLY make her day?

Look no further than the gift of a “DATE NIGHT (with a  twist)”.  The twist being that it’s a Romantic Dinner that’s been prepared by you!

Don’t stress – all you have to do is click and boil water.

If you can do that, you can do this!

Coppola’s Mammarella pasta sauces feature organic tomatoes, herbs, vegetables and olive oil for a flavorful, fresh-from-the-garden taste. Complete the meal with Mammarella pasta, bread sticks and a rich, creamy organic chocolate bar to share afterwords. Mama mía, it’s the perfect, romantic gift and she will love you for it!
