(cheerful music)
- Hello I'm Alexis Tirado.
- And I'm Stephanie Lorenzo.
- We're the behind-the-scenes girls of Pero Like.
I run the team.
- And I edit the team.
- We're doing this really exciting
collaboration with Spiritu.
Spiritu is this amazing, inspiring community
of LatinX folks and it's all about artisans,
vendors in the community who are selling really cool,
beautiful, useful products for the community,
by the community and we are announcing
that Pero Like is doing a special limited edition
holiday gift box with Spiritu.
- We've been working with the Spiritu team
for a couple months now and we each had to choose
a product that would fit our personalities
but also kind of make this box a complete package.
- Yes, they're little gifts that we really believe in
and we love and we wanted to share with people
who watch us, who partake in supporting the community.
- It was a process because it was so particular
to each of our personalities.
- And we're going to be unboxing our Spiritu and Pero Like
collaboration for the holidays.
- It's a special edition holiday box and we are so excited
to share it with you guys.
- Let's do the unboxing!
- Yes look at this beautiful design.
- Look at this design.
- [Ivan] Did you know that Charlotte Gomez,
who actually illustrates and designs all of our
Pero Like brand designed this box?
- [Eli] Did she really?
- [Ivan] Yeah.
- [Eli] Oh I didn't even know that.
- Okay let's see what's in here.
- Wow.
- Would you look at all these beautiful products.
- Oh my gosh everything looks so beautiful.
- It smells so good.
- Oh my goodness.
- Wow.
- This is very Curly, it is a sage stick.
- Wow this is so amazing.
- This is beautiful though.
- Oh my god it smells so good.
- Look how beautiful this is, it's amazing.
- So the sage bundle was created by my friend,
The Pink Crow, who is a Latina,
who just by being around her you just feel
this energy and she really does heal you
and she does pick up all these different vibes.
She invited her family to actually help build these bundles.
- [Alexis] Curly was saying that they were actually created
by a group of women during the full moon.
- I wanted to make these as a true gift
to both y'all from me and somebody who I really love
and someone I really believe in.
- Looking at the tattoos here.
- Oh my pick.
- We've got these beautiful Tattly temporary tattoos.
- Each box gets different tattoos.
- This is an amazing tattoo
because it reminds me of home.
- I love this watch one it says 'love'.
- I want to put this on my lower back.
- You should put that one on
so you can be on time for things now.
(gasps)
- Grinch.
- So you chose the tattoos?
- I hand picked each of these four tattoos.
They are a female owned company from Brooklyn.
They source illustrators to create these tattoos
and they pay them by commission.
And they are so high quality,
like I actually have them right now.
- I got an avocado.
- I got a little anchor.
- It says love, on time for love.
I'm always on time for love.
- Are these Maya's?
This is the most Maya thing I've ever seen.
- Yeah this is definitely Maya.
- These are Maya's mi vida earrings.
- These earrings are really cool.
- Mi vida is a really cool shop in L.A.
And I believe they sell online as well.
- Shop mi vida, Noelle is a dear friend of mine.
She is so talented, she actually custom made these
serape heart earrings.
- [Alexis] They look very Mexican inspired,
they're very colorful.
They remind me so much of Maya
so I feel like this is the perfect product
for her to curate for our box.
- [Ivan] These look like hand-painted.
The hearts actually have a serape design.
Everything in it, it's just so detailed
and hand-crafted, I love it.
- And when we were doing this collaboration
I like, she was the first one I thought of
because she is like such a staple.
- She does a really good job of like
inviting artists to like showcase their artwork
and put their stuff up on the walls.
- Oh my god, I already see the pin I chose.
I'm freaking out.
- This is Steph's.
- This is so Steph.

the green sauce in particular,
is something that I could douse on anything.

- [Curly] I don't know that I could handle this.
- Can we talk about the size of this bottle?
It's like a good size.
- [Eli] It's a damn good quality size.
- This will last a while.
- And finally a fan favorite
from the Spiritu box collection this year was the shawl.
- This is amazing.
- From Agave Salt.
- This was actually Spiritu's pick
and it was in their fall box.
- Oh I live for this.
- I actually have this in my desk
and use it everyday when I get cold.
- [Curly] These are Baha shawls, they were sourced in Mexico
but they're actually made in Los Angeles
by a Latina entreprenuer.

but you can use it as decoration.
- I love it.
- It's the holidays, it's cold,
you know you gotta stay warm.

I think it brought us closer together
as a team and we are so happy to collaborate with Spiritu.
We love them so much.
- We're really honored to get to work with Spiritu
and help you help them.
- The most exciting thing about this box
is that proceeds of this box

but you are also helping support a charity
that does amazing work at the border.

for undocumented people who are detained at the border.
So shout out to Freedom for Immigrants, we love them.
