Five Star Gift Ideas

Here are some Italian-inspired gift ideas for your mom:

1. A cooking class: If your mom is a foodie, consider giving her a cooking class that focuses on Italian cuisine. She'll get to learn new recipes and techniques while enjoying the culture and flavors of Italy.

2. A travel guidebook: Even if your mom isn't planning a trip to Italy anytime soon, a travel guidebook can still be a great gift. She can learn about the country's history, culture, and landmarks, and vicariously explore the countryside and cities.

3. Italian language lessons: If your mom has expressed interest in learning Italian, consider buying her some language lessons. She can work through them at her own pace and practice speaking with native Italian speakers.

4. Italian music or movies: Your mom might enjoy listening to Italian music or watching films set in Italy. You could put together a gift basket with CDs, DVDs, and some Italian snacks to create a fun Italian-themed movie night.

5. Italian-inspired jewelry: If your mom likes to dress up, consider getting her some Italian-inspired jewelry. Look for pieces that feature Italian design elements like Venetian glass, the fleur-de-lis, or the Colosseum.

Or you can get her a star map with the date when she was born.

“I made a map for my mums birthday and she absolutely loved it. Definitely buying another one soon, probably for another family member or friend”
