Frida Kahlo Feelings

Frida’s emotions were no secret. Her paintings literally exposed her pain, suffering, and passions. So, turning her feelings into emojis is a no-brainer. 

We all have big emotions and those of us that like to write to express them will love the Frida Feelings notebook. It is a blank-lined journal, but with a special touch. The top of each page is lined with the Frida emojis. 

You can also display these emojis on your wall, especially great for art teachers or Spanish teachers. With this Frida Feelings pennant, Frida’s emotions are on display for all. It makes a great conversation starter in Spanish class, having students tell you which Frida they are feeling like today. 

And just like Frida, you can wear your emotions on your sleeve, literally with the Frida Feelings t-shirt. It is the perfect Frida graphic tee for art lovers, teachers, and Frida fans.

Frida Kahlo Shirts

A Frida Kahlo t-shirt is the perfect gift for Frida Kahlo fans to wear any time of the year. Plus I rounded up some holiday favorites, too!

One of Frida’s iconic phrases is “Viva la vida” from her still life of watermelon and fruit painting. This Viva la vida watermelon shirt is a beautiful representation of her artwork and style. You can also get a shirt with just the phrase “Viva la vida” if you want a simpler look.

One of the best days of the week is Friday. Do a happy dance on Fridays as you wear this TGIF Happy FRIDAy shirt. As a Spanish teacher, this is one of my favorite Dress Down Friday shirts. 

Frida is known as a revolutionary for her strength and creativity. But she’s not the only mujer revolucionaria. On this Latina Mujeres shirt you’ll find the faces of many strong latina women like Celia Cruz, Gabriela Mistral, Selena, and more!

It’s a calabaza (pumpkin); it’s Frida Kahlo… it’s Kahlo-Baza! During Halloween and Día de muertos, any Frida fan would love this Spanish pun. 

For a Frida Kahlo Christmas gift, check out the Fría Kahlo Snowman shirt. This snowman resembles Frida from the unibrow to the paint brush in her hand.

Wall Calendar

12 months of Frida paintings… yes please! With a wall calendar, every month you are gifting a different painting! One year I had one in my classroom. After that calendar year, I saved the painting portion of the calendar to use as gallery walk images since the dates were no longer correct! 

Check out these Frida Kahlo calendars.

Frida Kahlo Earrings

I received Frida Kahlo earrings from a Spanish teacher colleague one year and thought it was the most thoughtful gift. We both co-planned and taught an art unit and shared a love for Hispanic art. Here are some Frida Kahlo earrings you don’t want to miss.

Frida Kahlo Puzzles

Anytime I get a puzzle as a gift, I am happy. I love doing jigsaw puzzles, escape rooms, word puzzles. You name it, I love the challenge. One year, I received this Frida Kahlo puzzle of her Self Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird painting as a gift and had the best time putting it together. Here are some of my other favorite Frida Kahlo puzzles.

Casa Azul Museum Gift Shop

Visiting Frida’s Casa Azul is on my bucket list. But as a mom to two young toddlers, I don’t see myself getting there anytime soon. So I’ll explore her house via the 360 degree virtual tour and visit the online museum shop. You’ll find tons of great items here as well like mugs, books, pins, bags, jewelry, and more!
