Gift Guides

Some of our most cherished memories are shaped around the table—morning coffee, long weekend lunches, and the quiet moments when we share more than just meals. This Mother’s Day, we honor the women who set the table before us, who taught us the beauty of gathering, of handmade traditions, of slowing down.

At Esas Mesas, we believe a gift should be more than just an object—it should tell a story, carry a history, and be made to last. Below, we’ve curated a selection of pieces that do just that.

A Mother’s Day Gift Guide: Thoughtful Tableware to Celebrate the Women Who Made Us

Each piece in this guide is a quiet tribute to the rituals that shape us—the shared meals, the passed-down recipes, and the soft clink of glass that marks a moment. Chosen with care, these gifts are made to become part of new memories, allowing us to set the table with intention and honor the women who set it before us.

For the One Who Loves to Host

A mother’s love is often felt through the way she welcomes—guests, family, friends, and even the occasional unexpected visitor. Elevate her tablescape with our Taupe Dinner Plates, and pair them with the Taupe Soup Bowls for a complete setting that invites conversation and connection.

For a finishing touch, the Crema Pedestal Vase, handmade in Guadalajara, makes a beautiful centerpiece—perfect for displaying fresh citrus or seasonal fruits with effortless elegance.

For the Coffee & Brunch Enthusiast

Some mornings are best started with quiet sips. Our Crema Minimalist Mug Large and Crema Flared Mug Large bring a ritualistic beauty to her daily coffee or tea (preferably in bed). Thoughtfully designed for comfort and aesthetic pleasure, they make every morning feel a little more special.

Pair these with the White Linen Napkins, blending function with artistry for a timeless gift.

For the One Who Believes in Leisurely Lunches

A good glass of wine, a thoughtfully prepared meal, the hum of conversation—some moments are meant to linger. Our Pollo Water Jug is perfect for serving iced tea, lemonade, or a bottle of rosé, adding an artisanal touch to any gathering.

Complement it with the Large Spring Tumblers in Mango, each piece crafted to elevate her table.

For the One Who Collects, Not Just Owns

Some gifts aren’t just given—they’re passed down. A hand-painted serving dish, shaped and glazed in Puebla, carries generations of tradition, artistry, and craftsmanship. Created using centuries-old Talavera techniques, each piece undergoes a meticulous process that can take up to three months to complete. From shaping and drying to multiple firings, glazing, and hand-painting intricate designs, this careful craftsmanship ensures its authenticity and enduring beauty. Whether brought out for special occasions or cherished in daily use, it will only grow more beautiful with time.

For a timeless addition, the Handcrafted Michoacán Floral Vase, with its delicate floral motifs, adds a touch of Mexican heritage to any space. Whether filled with fresh blooms or displayed as a statement piece, it’s a gift that celebrates artistry, culture, and the beauty of handmade tradition.

The Art of Gifting, The Art of Gathering
