A unique gift for Cinco De Mayo is one that shows pride in a very strong and intelligent Mexican Army. Although greatly outnumbered and with arms inferior to the opposing French military, Mexico prevailed in the battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862.
Cinco De Mayo is not a Mexican Independence Day (this is celebrated September 16), but is a great mark in history, as the 4,000 Mexicans beat the 8,000 French and for many is a great battle that conjurs pride.
Great unique gifts for Cinco De Mayo include:
- Mexican Beer
- Religious item with Virgen de Guadalupe pictured
- Book or remembrance of the Battle of Puebla
