Our Story: A Taste of Italy, Delivered Worldwide
Italy has an extraordinary tradition of craftsmanship: hand-painted ceramics, leather bags, fine jewellery, Murano glass, ancient olive wood and silk. Yet many of the most beautiful pieces are created in small studios, far from the main shopping streets, and are almost impossible to discover unless you are here in person.
Italy Gifts Direct exists to bridge that gap. We visit workshops, talk with artisans and select pieces that truly represent the best of Italian craft. Our role is part curator, part storyteller and part logistics partner: we bring together unique, handmade products and ship them with care to customers around the world.

In our shop you’ll find a carefully chosen range of Italian gifts and products that showcase traditional craftsmanship and contemporary Italian design:

If you are looking for handmade products from Italy, you are in the right place. You don’t have to walk through markets in Florence, Venice or Palermo – you can browse our collections online and order something special, direct from Italy.
Why Choose Us?
We are committed to offering only the highest quality Italian products. Every piece in our collection is chosen because it reflects real craftsmanship, not mass production. We work directly with artisans across Italy, from Lombardy in the north to Sicily in the south, building long-term relationships that allow us to commission special pieces, small batches and custom work.
This direct collaboration guarantees authenticity and traceability. It also means your purchases actively support independent workshops, keep traditional skills alive and give artisans a global audience for their work.
Authenticity Guaranteed
When you shop with us, you can be confident that you’re buying genuine Italian artisanal products. Each piece comes directly from makers who have spent years – often generations – mastering their craft. You won’t find generic imports or imitation “Italian-style” items in our collections.
From hand-thrown ceramics and blown Murano glass to finely worked leather and olive wood, our products are chosen because they carry the character of the person who made them. They are beautiful to give, use and keep – and they hold real cultural and emotional value.
Exceptional Customer Service
We believe that thoughtful gifts deserve thoughtful service. Whether you’re choosing a birthday present, a wedding gift, something for yourself or planning corporate gifts, we’re here to help. We answer questions personally, make suggestions when you need them and keep you updated as your order is prepared and shipped.
Many of our customers come back to us again and again, recommending Italy Gifts Direct to friends, family and colleagues. That level of trust is something we work hard to earn on every single order.
Shop with Confidence
Our secure online store protects your personal information and uses trusted payment providers. We ship from Italy with tracked courier services, carefully packaging every item so it arrives safely, wherever you are in the world.
Gifts can be sent directly to recipients, with optional gift wrapping and a personal message. Prices are not shown in gift parcels, so your order arrives looking considered, elegant and ready to give. Our returns policy is clear and straightforward, and if anything isn’t as expected, we will always work with you to put it right.
Corporate, Event & Wedding Gifting
As well as individual gifts, we curate Italian corporate gifts and wedding gifts for companies, agencies and private clients. Many of our pieces can be personalised or branded – on leather, ceramics, olive wood or metal details – to create memorable, high-perceived-value gifts that still feel elegant and understated.
If you’re planning a conference, incentive trip, executive gifting or wedding favours, we can suggest options, prepare presentation boxes and coordinate delivery to one location or directly to recipients in different countries.
Discover Authentic Italian Gifts
Whether you’re looking for a single special piece or a complete selection of gifts, we invite you to explore our collections and enjoy a true taste of Italy at home. Each order is prepared with care, so that opening the box feels as special as the gift itself.
What Our Customers Say
“I have just received the goods I ordered from Italy Gifts Direct. I am absolutely delighted with the olive wood cheese boards made specially after I put in my order and with the beautiful olive wood beads too. The ceramics are so pretty as well. Everything came wrapped up very carefully and the delivery service was perfect with the goods arriving much quicker than I expected. Customer care was second to none and I was kept very well informed about each step. I would certainly recommend Italy Gifts Direct to others and hope to use their services again before too long.”

“Finding Italy Gifts Direct was the happiest of accidents! I come from a very large, and very proud, Italian-American family and I was in need of a last minute Christmas gift for a family member. After a quick search, I found Italy Gifts Direct and all the wonderful Italian artisan-crafted goods on their website. I ordered a gorgeous cheeseboard for my uncle’s birthday. Italy Gifts Direct should be on everyone’s short list of gift options – the only downside is the envy their gifts cause, because now I need to order something for my mother, my sisters, my aunt…”
