Our cosmopolitan chum Dave recently embarked on a whirlwind trip to Puerto Rico and brought back these foodie treats dressed in vintage packaging. Let's deconstruct the look and feel. Dulzura Borincana is a well-known PR sweets purveyor boasting the milk and coconut confections above and the gofio snacks below (toasted corn). I love how the palm tree smartly serves as the letter "i" in Borincana; likewise, the "i" in "gofio" comes in the form of an ear stalk. There's something pleasingly arts and crafts about how the gofio is snugly wrapped as cones in purple and pink construction paper. Unravel these trim shapes and the once taut gofio spills over like sand. The buxom goodie in this tropical gift set is Yaucono coffee, bundled in a lovely color scheme of red, black and yellow. These pieces are like a work of art that deserve a shelf life of infinite years.
