Something beautiful per le donne? How about one of these fine leather products.  I’d love all of them!  I’ve actually got my eye on something on the bottom shelf. Che bella and also practical. How can something that checks both of those boxes be wrong?  Right?

Need something per il uomo in la tua vita?  I am certain you can find something here.

Or, something from the south of Italy?  Marzipan candies made to look like frutta?  Perche no?

Do you still have some baking and then some decorating to do?  How about of these little confections?  Marron glace? Sugared roses, violets, or mint leaves? Very pretty!

Allora, that was a kiss and a promise of shopping.  You’ll have to wrap your gifts yourself.  Io ho stanco (I’m tired).  Buona fortuna!
