Someone who grew up in New Mexico and someone who moved there twenty years ago tend to want the same thing from a New Mexico gift: something that looks like the state and gets used, not a knickknack. Here's what we make that fits both.
Everything below is in our New Mexico gifts collection.
The Land of Enchantment design
New Mexico is known as the Land of Enchantment. Our Land of Enchantment design pairs the state outline with a roadrunner, cactus and pines, plus "The Land of Enchantment" and EST. 1912, the year New Mexico became a state.
The Land of Enchantment slate coaster set comes as a single coaster or a set of 4, 6 or 8, in natural slate, round or square, 4 inches across and a quarter inch thick. The edges are hand chiseled, so no two coasters are alike, and four foam pads on the back protect the table. There's a lighter cork version, 3/16 inch thick, that grips without pads and takes a hot mug.
State designs for the kitchen
The New Mexico slate coaster set comes in 17 New Mexico designs. A few that suit someone who lives there:
- Classic Outline, the state shape and nothing else
- NM Initials, the letters with the state outline
- Est. 1912, the state outline with the statehood year
- Brush Lettering, NEW MEXICO in hand-drawn letters
Every coaster in a set carries the same design, so if you want a mix, order a second set in another design. The same designs come on the New Mexico cork coaster set.
For Albuquerque and Santa Fe
For some locals, the city matters as much as the state. We make two New Mexico skylines, on slate and wood ornaments, bamboo boards and wall signs:
- Albuquerque, a high desert skyline under the Sandia Mountains with a hot air balloon over it: board, wall sign
- Santa Fe, adobe churches with the Sangre de Cristo Mountains behind them: board, wall sign
The boards are solid bamboo, 17 by 5.25 inches, cut in the shape of a wine bottle. The wall signs are 10 by 10 inch leatherette in blue or brown, with a sawtooth hanger.
For the car or the trail
The Land of Enchantment water bottle is 32 oz insulated stainless steel in black or white, with a flip top and a built-in straw. Hand wash only.
Timing
These aren't made in New Mexico. We keep plain blanks in stock in our workshop in Hilton Head, South Carolina, and engrave each piece after you order. Orders ship within 1 to 5 business days, coasters in a white gift box and boards and wall art in a plain box, so plan on wrapping a board or sign meant as a gift.
