Picture this scene – you are shopping in Italy alone, or with your girlfriends, and suddenly it occurs to you that you would love to buy the man in your life a luxurious Italian gift that he will treasure, but you’re not quite sure of what to buy or where to start looking for a thoughtful gift. Well, look no further than this gift guide for sourcing that perfect Italian Luxury item from the land of romance and culture.

 

 

Gucci, Gucci, Gucci

What man wouldn’t love some Gucci in his life? There are lots of great options of Gucci men’s gift ideas (many ideas are also online, like at Luisaviaroma.com, from belts and jackets to aftershaves. Small suitcase-sized gifts could also include watches, wallets or jewellery, or you could splurge on some Italian-made iconic loafers!

 

 

Aftershave

There’s an amazing array of Italian brands that make the most amazing colognes for men, and many of the world’s top perfumes originate from Italy, so there are plenty to choose from! There are also many brands that may be artisanal and not so famous outside of Italy (which would appeal to both men and women) with notes of Sicilian citrus, Amalfi lemon, or northern Italian forests.

 

 

Food and Wine

Nothing speaks of Italy like the delicious cuisine and wine! Why not bring a little taste of Italy back home for your man by having deluxe items shipped over? This could include treats such as liqueurs, a few bottles of delicious Chianti wine and Grappa, and maybe some luxury Italian chocolates. But let’s be honest, these things are for us too!

 

 

Moka Coffeepot and Coffee

No trip to Italy is complete without the smooth taste of Italian coffee, so why not try out an Italian Moka coffeepot as a gift, and of course some delectable Italian coffee! You can fit it in your suitcase and bring some coffee with you to savour for months!

 

 

An Italian Cookbook

You and your man could have hours of fun learning how to make fresh pasta so that you can conjure up a taste of Italy whenever you feel like it! A good quality cookbook is a great gift idea.

 

 

Silk Ties

Italian silk ties are exquisite and don’t take up much room in your luggage – you will be indecisive to choose with the variety of designs and colours available!

 

 

Italian Leather Gloves

There is nothing like the feel and smell of new leather, and some genuine Italian leather gloves are a sophisticated and stylish gift at any time of year. Try to get the ones with cashmere inside so they’ll keep his hands extra warm!
