Gifts for whole family in Italy

7 replies

My SIL, her husband and 3 small DC live in Italy. I have generally arranged for a hamper of food/drink treats to be shipped over for Xmas, usually from Bettys online, as a gift for them all to enjoy. Due to reasons associated with Brexit, Bettys can't currently ship to the EU, nor can Fortnum & Mason.

Any ideas as to where I could get a lovely hamper from within Italy? Or another EU country?

Thank you!

If you want to send UK food then I'd recommend British Corner Shop (now have a warehouse in the Netherlands so no Brexit-related problems). Alternatively you could order a hamper on Italian Amazon (amazon.it) - search for 'cesto natalizio alimentare' or for something a bit special ww.eataly.net

You could try some Irish sites - in the EU so shipping to Italy won’t be a problem and similarish to UK food. Avoca is lovely though a bit pricey

Irish sites - that's a good idea! Thanks @thelegohooverer

I'm in Italy and my cousin usually sends me F&M, Harrods or Betty's so I feel your pain. I did get a ginormous BCS order but it's not quite the same.
I'll look into Irish sites as well!

Carroll's looks to be pretty good.
