3D Pop-out Ofrenda in the Cemetery
Cemetery celebrations vary by region throughout Mexico - in the Oaxacan village of Xoxocotlan, thousands of people crowd the dark, old, stone walled cemetery as night falls. They anxiously await the return of their loved one's spirits at midnight, just as they are released from heaven for their 24 hour visit. Millions of candles illuminate the "pantion", as musicians sing serenades to the departed. People enjoy feeling the closeness with their "spirits" until dawn. This pop-out ofrenda reminds me of those chilly nights that warmed my heart. 14 1/2" wide x 15" high x 6" deep. Made in Mexico.

Calavera Cutouts
If you don't want to invite real people to your Day of the Dead party, just get a pack of these wild skeletons to keep you company! They don't eat much either! Large 15" tall skeletons do things like playing the guitar, dancing, holding hot chocolate and pan de muerto, drinking in cowboy boots or visiting spirits on the grave. These one-sided cardboard skeletons will help you feel like you're in Mexico for DoD.

The manufacturer of these sends strange odd numbers when I order them, like there's 6 designs, but we'll get lots of some and few of others. So, to solve the problem, we are selling you a set of 5 of the 6 designs. The surprise will be which one will you NOT get! Made in Mexico.

Sugar Skull Paper Masks
Many indigenous villages throughout southern Mexico have small marches in the streets during DoD. Sometimes, it is a group of friends who are marching to the cemetery, or other times, groups gather with a tuba player and a big 14 foot tall papier mache woman with floppy arms with a dancer looking out from the belly button as it dances down the middle of the street. These are called "muneca de calendas", or parade dolls. People really don't wear masks or face painting much in Mexico for DoD but the Halloween influence is changing a bit of the traditions. These masks should be used for decorations only, but their eyes do punch out. Measuring 8" wide by 6 1/2" high, they have little strings that don't work really well. Made in Mexico.

Day of the Dead Cello Treat Bags
Eureka! I finally found them. I've hunted for DoD images for years in party shops, dollar stores, big box seasonal aisles, cake decorating shops... We DoD folks need these to package up our decorated sugar skulls and chocolates made from our molds. We need them to hold our hand made gifts. These bags aren't cheap, but they are truly Day of the Dead images - sugar skulls, catrina and a crazy skeleton dancing in the cemetery. The good thing is that the bags are big - 6" x 11", no gusset. An order comes with all four images, printed in purple, orange and white. Made in Mexico.
