Holiday Gift Guide {from Italy with Love}

November29

buonnatale1_header

Now that Thanksgiving is behind & we’re all stuffed, Christmas will be here before we know it. I thought it would be the perfect time to put together a few Gift Giving Guides, if you will. People are always asking me, what should I get for a foodie, a cooking enthusiast (whatever you like to call your food fanatical friends) What do you recommend?

Well… you asked for it so I think the first one will be, what else, based on some of my FAV Italian things. These are all items I own or are actually on my list this year *wink wink* Suddenly I’m hearing “These are a few of my favorite things…” in my head LOL & now I’m sure you are too!

I’m not a huge fan of schlepping through the stores, I do after all have 3 bimbi (that’s Italian for kiddos) and if I’m faced with the option of taking all of them shopping with me or going to the dentist. Let’s just say I’m off the dentist. So finding a deal online and having it shipped right to my door, well HELLO there’s no contest. Plus the delivery guy ain’t so bad…. just sayin’

And with it being CYBER MONDAY and all, it’s only fitting. So sit back, get your debit/credit cards out (or hello if you’re already the lucky recipient of a gift card even bettah) and click away!

Baci!

So okay the last two are on my super duper dreamer list, but hey a girl can dream, no? But on a more serious note, if you’d like to gift me any of the above items feel free to email me & I’ll be happy to send over my mailing addy ; ) Just sayin! What?
