Gourmet Italian Gifts

If you have someone on your gift list that loves Italian food, you have some great gift choices. Ethnic grocer makes some excellent products, including their Italian gift basket, which includes pasta, pasta sauce, cheese and olive oil. Through in some bread and wine, and they've got everything they need for a great Italian dinner!

You can't love Italian food without loving bread, and a bread maker is a great gift. Breadman makes several models for less than $100, and they all make a wonderful gift. Breadman also makes a panini maker - a fun Italian food gift!

A pasta maker is also a great gift. Homemade pasta is wonderful, and surprisingly easy to make. Cooking.com and Amazon have several different models to choose from, but our favorite is the 5-piece pasta maker from Villaware. It's easy to use and easy to clean.

Other gift choices to think about include bread bakers, flavored olive oils, garlic bakers and cookbooks. Just make sure that they invite you over to dinner!
