Made by hand in Turkey, so not really a gift from Italy but it's pretty stuff and I bought three small bowls and a ceramic coaster. Very impulsive of me but I liked the stuff and it traveled well.

They have useful stuff to decorate bathrooms (shower curtains, soap dispensers, etc), dining rooms (tablecloths, runners, napkins, dishes, cups), offices (pen holders, desk stuff, clocks, etc), and also a small section for apparel (rain boots, crocs, rain jackets, bags and Superga sneakers mainly). They have many nice plastic tablecloth rolls, heart-shaped pans, funny cups, bath salts, and other stuff you didn't know you needed until you see it.

I got to go into the store in Milan which I had been dreaming about for years! The clerks were laughing after I came in and dropped to my knees in happiness. They were shocked at this behavior, but I explained to them how obsessed I am with Fornasetti. I purchased 4 new "Julia" plates for my collection which I have scattered about in my homes. They shipped them home for me so I didn't have to deal with lugging them around and possibly breaking them on the trip home. It was fabulous that we were the only ones in the store at that time so we got special attention from the salesgirls who spoke excellent English, which is smart, since a lot of tourists must come in.

(that and the high prices of some of their stuff - especially furniture and lamps) It develops in 3 floors, the underground one being the largest with corridors and steps (watch out!) bringing you from room to room. Among the brands they have for home decor: Seletti, Joseph & Joseph, Le Creuset, KitchenAid and many, many more.

I don't have any kids and actually having kids or being around kids is the furthest thing from my mind, But, I also didn't expect my work mates to be so bloody boring. We can't go out and party EVERY night. Sometimes we have to stay put and be on call so to speak. Desperate for some entertainment, (I can't understand Italian, so no point in turning on the television) I went after the one game that just about anyone can enjoy-Rumikub. So I wondered around the Duomo area in search of a toy store and stumbled upon Nano Bleu. My Italian is horrible but the staff was really friendly. They spoke just enough English that we could hack through the conversation about Rumikub. Luck was with me that day! They had it. But more importantly, the store is very lovely. The shelves are made from wood with rounded corners. That detail doesn't seem important until you are experiencing it. Everything is in its place. They have a giant collection of stuffed animals. It actually made me feel like a kid again. The staff is great. The place is lovely. I might go back for a stuffed animal!
