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?)

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

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...

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.

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.

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

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

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