Gift Guide

There is a specific kind of intimacy found only at the table. It’s in the lean-in during a deep conversation and the way candlelight softens the edges of a room. At Esas Mesas, we believe love isn't just a feeling—it’s a ritual we practice every time we make space for someone. This Valentine’s Day, we’re moving away from the fleeting and toward the felt. Whether you are honoring a partner, a circle of friends, or the vital practice of self-care, we’ve curated pieces that turn a simple moment into a ceremony of affection.

For the Lover: The Art of the Evening

For the one who knows that the best date night doesn’t require a reservation. These gifts are about setting a mood that lingers long after the meal is over.

  • Casa Viviana Floral Band Candle:  Nothing says romance like a candlelit dinner, and these hand-molded beeswax candles add just the right touch. With their delicate floral details and sculptural glow, they turn a simple meal into an intimate sanctuary.
  • Condesa Collection Crystal Wine Glasses: Handblown and ethereal. There is a quiet sensuality in the weightlessness of these glasses—perfect for a slow pour of your favorite vintage.
  • Hand-Embroidered Otomí Tablecloth: Gift them a piece of heritage. This isn't just a tablecloth; it’s an heirloom that anchors your shared meals in artistry and intention.

For the Galentine: The "Mesa de Amigas"

Love is found in the laughter of a long brunch and the "sobremesa" that lasts for hours. Celebrate the friends who show up and fill your cup.

  • Mezcal Glass Set: Because no girls' night is complete without a toast. These glasses are whimsical, full of personality, and designed for sipping something strong while catching up on everything.
  • Casa Viviana Hand-Dipped Candles in Pink - In a soft, celebratory pink, these candles offer a sculptural glow that turns a casual hangout into a curated event. They are the ultimate "I saw these and thought of you" gift.
  • Servilleta Escalera Felipa Red Napkins: A set of these barro hue linens is the ultimate "thank you" for the friend who always hosts. They are tactile, durable, and effortlessly chic.
  • Moon Coasters in Pink Marble: Small, charming, and heavy with intention. Each coaster is cut from solid pink marble, revealing a unique veining that makes every piece a tiny, natural work of art.

For the Self: The Luxury of Solitude

The most important table you set is the one you set for yourself. Honor your own space with objects that turn daily habits into moments of indulgence.

  • Candelero El Sol y Luna Barro Rojo Candleholder: A sculptural ode to balance. Shaped by hand in Oaxaca, its serene face is crowned with the intertwined forms of the sun and moon. It is both a candleholder and a story—about duality, cycles, and finding harmony within oneself.
  • Spring Tumblers in Fuchsia: these bold yet refined glasses are designed to catch the light. Whether it's your morning water or an evening tonic, they turn a simple sip into an artful presentation.
  • Dalia Tray in Onyx: Carved from a single piece of white onyx, the Dalia Tray features delicate scalloped edges and a smooth, hand-finished surface. It is the perfect home for your most personal items—ideal as a catch-all for jewelry on a nightstand or as a quiet, decorative anchor on your coffee table.

The Beauty of Connection

Valentine’s Day is often framed by what we buy, but at Esas Mesas, we believe it’s about what we build. When you gift a handmade piece, you are sharing a story—one of an artisan’s hands, a long-held tradition, and your own desire to make life a little more beautiful.
