Holiday Gifts 2007: For Italian Cinema Buffs

By Charlyne Varkonyi Schaub November 28, 2007 10:04 AM

Ah, that sophisticated friend who is so hard to buy for. What to do? What to do?

When this idea came to me in a email, I flipped. The "Italian Movie Night Gift Basket" gave the Italian part of my heritage goose bumps.

The gift box includes a decoupage window in a Portofino pattern, the two DVD collector's edition of La Dolce Vita, the two DVD deluxe edition of Cinema Paradiso, a Life Is Beautiful DVD and a packet of microwave popcorn.

It sells for $129 at www.dreamofitaly.com.

The site also has a variety of other gift baskets on Romantic Italy Travel Basket, Rome Travel Basket and Venice Travel Basket.

Ciao -- C.V.S.
