Gifts for Italian Families and Friends

Italians are often very giving, frequently known for their extreme generosity and hospitality, especially when it comes to food. So what what would be a good gift for an Italian family?

I’ve created a list of gift ideas that involve three things that are important to every Italian. These are thoughtful gifts perfect for a wide range of occasions.

  1. Food
  2. Family
  3. Home

Let’s get started!

Music Gifts for Italian Families

Most Italians that come from an Italian culture live by this formula (in no particular order): Music, Food, Wine and Family = Love.  It’s true. 

So in regards to music as an Italian gift idea, you can still get some of the real Italian authentic artists from back in the day. 

Music is like magic, it takes a person back to time and place where they either were at one point in their lives, or a place where they wish they could go.

I also recommend this as an idea on my Italian gifts for men post.

This product was wholly produced or has undergone its last substantial transformation in Italy. Different styles and designs.

Festive Italian Classics

Classic instrumentals such as “Arrivederci Roma” and “Santa Lucia” blend with great vocal performances of “Mala Femmena,” “Al Di La” and “Volare.”

You can check out more CDs or Vinyls you can get online at places like Amazon.

I hope you enjoy these gift ideas for Italian families. I’d also like to say as the holidays approach, Merry Christmas and no matter what your gift may be that you choose this season, remember the ultimate gift of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ – the best gift of all!
