Florentine Gift Shops
39 rosso
@elenavaleriote
If you’re looking for special souvenirs to bring home — for yourself or as gifts — this is the place to find them! 39 rosso is a tiny shop (blink and you might miss it!) in front of Palazzo Pitti, which is owned by a Tuscan mother and daughter team. They carefully source everything item in their store from Florentine artists only. From home decor to teacups to bracelets, 39 rosso offers all kinds of unique, carry-on sized trinkets that you won’t find anywhere else in the world.

Florence Factory - Craftsmanship Curating
@elenavaleriote
This is one of my favorite places to find gifts for loved ones or special treats for myself. Everything in the shop is made by local artisans. From chic clothes, to one-of-a-kind jewelry, to artworks inspired by the cities’ famous monuments, everything in here conveys the elegant essence of Florence in a modern, yet timeless way.

MudMoiselle ceramica
@elenavaleriote
Everything in this small shop is handmade by a young local artist named Sara. Her ceramics are delicate and feminine, with floral prints and charming designs that are uniquely her own. The shop features a mix of teacups and other implements for the kitchen, as well as home decor and ornaments.

Riccardo Luci Marbled Paper
@elenavaleriote
This is the ideal spot for those seeking stationary, notebooks, and other paper goods. For a little something extra special, you can also reserve a class to try the historic art of marbling paper! This family has stewarded the tradition for over a century.

Enoteca Alessi
@elenavaleriote
This is my go-to store for all things alcohol. They have an amazing wine selection — plus a bar where you can enjoy a tasting — but what I find most exciting is their diverse array of spirits, including countless extraordinary Italian amari (bitter liqueurs). You can buy a bottle to enjoy during your stay or take home with you, along with all kinds of specialty items, like chocolates, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar.

Bojola Firenze
@elenavaleriote
This is one of my favorite places in town to buy Florentine leather products, such as purses or belts. Their products have been made by hand here for over a century!
