"Mijo" = "Mi + Hijo"  = "My Son" and a term of endearment  Hispanic moms and dads use to call their son.  We would even say it extends to a term aunts, godparents, and close friends of family use to call a 'son-like' person near and dear to them. 

Send this card as a care-package add-on to anyone leaving home or missing home - send them a taste, smell, and feeling that reminds them of their roots, of the love that binds, and that you'll always be their home. 

About the artist:

Charles Carreon (@artfelt) is the young artist we commissioned to create this card. Charles born in Mexico and grew up here in the U.S. under DACA. He studied Industrial Design at MSU Denver, but illustration has always been where he feels at home.

"It’s how I process things, where I let memory, emotion, and imagination meet. This piece came from a place of nostalgia. I was thinking about my past, where I come from, what I’ve been through, and how those moments, both the good and the hard, are what built me. The roots in the illustration represent where I started, the people and places that shaped me. And the dahlia, to me, represents the beauty in all of it, even the painful parts.

When I look back, I feel gratitude. Not because it was easy, but because I got to live it. I hope that when people see this work, they feel something from their own story too. Maybe it reminds them of home, or growth, or just that they’ve made it this far. That’s what I’m always trying to tap into."

About our greeting cards:

Every card is art and copy directed by Liddy, our owner.  They are an expression of her life in the Rio Grand Valley, as well as her interpretation of the beauty, color, and life that is her Hispanic culture.

FAQ

What are Mexican Wedding Cookies?

Mexican Wedding Cookies — also known as polvorones, pan de polvo, Russian tea cakes, or snowball cookies — are delicate, melt-in-your-mouth cookies dusted in powdered sugar. Romero Cookies are made from a 40-year family recipe, perfect for weddings, holidays, and everyday celebrations.

Are Romero Cookies the same as biscochitos or bizcochitos?

While they look similar, Romero Mexican Wedding Cookies are not biscochitos. They don’t contain anise and are not made with lard. We often hear regional debates about cookie names — try ours and you might prefer them!

What makes Romero Cookies authentic?

Our recipe has been in the Romero family for over 40 years. Every cookie is handmade in our Denver kitchen with simple, high-quality ingredients that melt in your mouth.

How long do Romero Mexican Wedding Cookies stay fresh?

Our cookies stay fresh for up to 90 days in tins or favor containers and about 30 days if placed in a cookie tray. While freezing won’t harm them, we recommend enjoying them fresh for the best flavor and texture.

Are Mexican Wedding Cookies just for weddings?

Not at all! While they began as a wedding tradition, Mexican Wedding Cookies are now enjoyed at birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, and everyday gatherings. They also make thoughtful gifts for teachers, coworkers, and family.
