Views of Venice and Other Inspired Gifts

Great holiday gifts fall into one of three categories: 1. The fun & the frivolous: Toys, games… Plane tickets to Venice.  2. The cherished: Art, Jewelry… Murano glass. 3. The useful: Bags, home goods… Wellies to keep your feet dry in aqua alta.  But, whatever category the gift, the intention is always to bring pleasure to our family and friends.  With that in mind, here's our first installment of ideas for gifts guaranteed to please the Venice-lover in your life:

What about Your Venetian Venetophile?!

Though the crowds thin out and the tides rise up, life in Venice does not actually stop for the winter.  And, while Venetians see Venice out their windows every day, can always get their hands on sweet treats and are the very people who create the treasures the rest of us covet, there is one thing that every Venetian in your life can use:
We'll be sharing more great Venice-inspired and Venetian gift ideas over the next few weeks.  Meanwhile, OG Venice Travel Guide is adding more content, improving our website and opening our own little store… Keep in touch!
