What would you like to receive from Italy?

Question

I'm italian and I've been hosted for a month by an Irish family last summer. Now I'm doing my exams, but I would like to come and see them, probably next year, however, I would like to take them some gifts from Italy...If you were a nice, friendly, very kind couple of sixty year olders, what would you like to receive? (I was thinking about a couple of bottles of italian red wine...but what else?)

Answer 1

I like the little shops in Venice and I know when I visited Italy everyone loved my presents from those kind of shops so I would perhaps get them a couple of glass ornaments along with the wine.

Answer 2

A framed picture of yourself in your Hometown. A nice reminder of you!

Answer 3

Wine and amaretti biscuits.

Answer 4

An Italian Stallion

Answer 5

Chances are they are Catholic, so maybe some nice souvenirs from the Vatican or a book on the Pope or Rosary beads blessed by the Pope

Answer 6

A man with dark curls;-)

Answer 7

this may sound silly

but my mam is italian and she goes to visit her family like once a year or when we get parcels sent over im always excited over the food so maybe some nice food lol

Answer 8

An Italian Hunk

Answer 9

I'm pretty sure you can't take foodstuffs in.The wine would be good.Something handmade from your locality too.Enjoy your stay.

Answer 10

Wine and chocolates/treats usually do the trick....maybe some pottery of some kind that is particularly italian but not too precious.

Answer 11

Some lovely Italian coffee given by the hand of a handsome Italian would be most appreciated.....and maybe some wonderful Italian biscuits to go with that coffee YUM!

Answer 12

you can take foodstuffs contrary to 'misty blue',my family have taken food all over europe with us on holidays

as long as it has been produced in the EU it's fine,no problems.

italian wine would be good

amaretti biscuits are lovely

as someone said a mask from venice would be great

and something unique from the region where you're from

Answer 13

hi you

the wind would hit the spot just right or you could forget about the wind all together and bring out for a meal as a thank you i think this will go down a treat with them

Answer 14

I visited Italy a little while back (honeymoon in Gubbio - lovely people, by the way) - if I could get them to send me a box of something, it would be the dried porcini mushrooms. They're lovely.

Buying them here would cost an arm and a leg - but I remember them being fairly cheap over there...

Answer 15

Some merino glass, a mask from Venice, some preserves, natural olive oil, wine from your region, some Italian music or a small painting from your home town. An invite back to your own home might be nice too.
