Chic Italy Inspired Gift Guide: 2022
01. Brigaldara Amarone della Valpolicella Red Wine. I’m kicking off this gift guide with an Italian wine, of course! This red wine with cherry and berry aroma is from the northern region of Veneto.
02. La Posta Vecchia Silk Scarf. The Italians sure seem to love their silk scarves! They’re a simple way to spice up an otherwise simple outfit. This silk and cotton blend scarf is beautiful! It would be perfect as a stocking stuffer.
03. La Perla Silk Robe. Another Italian luxury: a silk robe. It’s an easy way to make time at home (and time away!) a bit more luxurious. This robe is from La Perla—an Italy-based atelier by women for women.
04. Bialetti Moka Pot. This moka pot is a staple in every Italian kitchen. It makes delicious coffee, and it makes a daily coffee ritual a little more Italian. A perfect gift for any coffee-lover!
05. Hand Painted Olive Oil Bottle. This gorgeous bottle is hand-blown from the finest Venetian glass and hand-painted with a delicate floral design. It would make a beautiful little vase as well!
06. Diptyque Murano Candle Holder. Another hand-blown masterpiece. This candle holder was created by a Milanese designer and is made of Murano glass. It’s beautiful!
07. Santa Maria Novella Fresia Perfume. The Santa Maria Novella Perfumery’s history dates back to 1221. Gift a bottle of the legendary perfume house with this Fresia eau de cologne.
08. Mosto Oro Extra Virgin Olive Oil. For those who appreciate Italian cooking, a good bottle of olive oil is a treat! This extra virgin olive oil is made from the finest quality “Taggiasca” olives, considered one of the noblest varieties of olives.
09. “Adonis” Print by Luke Edward Hall. If you remember from last year’s gift guides, I’m a big fan of Luke Edward Hall. This gorgeous print combines the style of a classic Italian portrait with clean, modern lines.
10. Bugatti Oxford Gold Cutlery Set. Bugatti cutlery has continually been celebrated since its founding in 1932. This classic set features ivory handles and antique-gold accents. Makes a perfect host or hostess gift!
11. Leonardi Il Patriarca Balsamic. Balsamic is another essential ingredient in Italian cuisine. This bottle produced by Leonardi was aged for 30-years to create a beautifully-refined quality.
12. “Gondola” Fine Art Print Download. Gift the beauty of Italy for a loved one with wanderlust to enjoy in their own home. From my own collection of fine art prints, this digital download print features the Bridge of Sighs in Venice, Italy.
13. “Italian Chic” by Andrea Ferolla & Daria Reina. This coffee table book uses exquisite illustrations and photography to celebrate the rich, ever-chic country of Italy. This one is on the top of my wishlist!
14. Nocciolini di Chivasso Hazelnut Biscuits. Gift these delicious hazelnut biscuits to anyone who loves a sweet treat—especially a classic Italian one!
15. Fornasetti Re Sole Tray. This lovely little tray is technically an ashtray, but it’s the perfect size for keys in the entryway or matches on a coffee table. It’s designed by Milan-based atelier Fornasetti.
16. Handmade Artist Paintbrush Set. This set of brushes make a beautiful gift for an aspiring-Michelangelo. The set includes three brushes and is handcrafted in England.
17. Ines Hoop Earrings by Aceline. A gorgeous pair of chic, classic gold hoops to elevate any outfit. These are handcrafted in Italy by Aceline.
18. Le Monde Béryl Velvet Venetian Mule in Pink. Last but not least, these velvet Venetian mules are a chic alternative to traditional slippers. I got a similar pair for Christmas last year, and I absolutely love them.
Happy shopping and have a lovely holiday season!
