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.

This is the place I come to when I need to buy gifts for house-warmings, dinner parties, kitchen…read morelovers, etc. It also has some furniture and design pieces but prices are high for these things so I stick to the decor & kitchen accessories. 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.

Anyhow, there I could find cups, notebooks, candle holders, snacks, napkins and all kinds of cute stuff. So it was a great surprise to find it here in Milan a few years later! There are 3 or 4 other Tiger shops in Milan, but I think this one in Via Meravigli is the one I prefer, although is not big, they have lots of stuff for 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10... euro: from candles to napkins, cute dishes, cups, tea bags, spices, some drinks, cookies, notebooks, cookware, coloring books for children, bike accessories, jewelry holders, wrapping paper, you name it! If you're throwing a dinner party, kids party, garden tea or whatever the occasion, you can drop by and find at least one thing to buy for you event. The only thing I don't like is how crowded it can be on lunch hour and the long queue to pay, but apart from that it's great!

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.
