Taste of Chile Gift Basket
This specially curated gift basket begins with a fair-trade straw basket hand-woven by an artisan from Liucura, Chile. The basket contains a small wooden bowl, plate and spoon crafted from Chile native wood by Maderarte Monsalve; the classic Chilean “chanchito” (little pig), bringing health, money and love to its recipient, made by artisans from Pomaire, Chile; and a jar of merken—the most iconic Chilean spice. The basket comes wrapped in clear cellophane tied with raffia ribbon and has an optional add-on—a rainbow squares handkerchief that is the pan-indigenous flag of Andean peoples.

Iconic Chile
We are Edith and Jorge and we’re wood artisans working in El Monte, a small rural town located in the central valley of Chile. We specialize in making bowls, trays, and other kitchenwares using wood that is “noble” and native to Chile such as rauli, manio, tepa, and lenga. We believe that half of the goodness of a piece of carved wood art is in the expression of the wood itself, its grain and its colors.
