Unique Gifts


By Melissa Rodíguez

Are you looking for unique, exceptional, Spanish artwork? Look no farther. ElCoquiGifts.com is taking advantage of rich Latin America heritage. Their multicultural web site features artesanias (folk art). Named for the singing tree frog of Puerto Rico, ElCoqui offers handmade, one-of-a-kind works of art, each with a story to tell. You can even make requests for specific items and several of the artisans will custom-make an item.

The site is a virtual gallery for folk artisans to show off their works. Take Kenneth A. Melendez, for example. He's a popular mask-maker and musician from Ponce, Puerto Rico. His accomplishments include exhibiting at the Smithsonian Museum and the Festival Mundial de Folklore (World Folklore Festival). Kenneth is famous for his masks and workshops. But, anyone who might have had an interest in his masks may not have been able to find any, until now.

The market is ready for this type of business. There's an increased interest in multiculturalism, an increase in the multicultural population, and a growing desire for 'uniqueness'. ElCoquiGifts.com is dedicated to finding and providing artwork that expresses the rich Latin cultures among us. URL http://www.ElCoquiGifts.com
