Give me ideas on what to get
for my co-workers and friends from Italy 
They asked me "what is characteristic of Italy?"
I reply "cars, food, wine, clothes"
Cars - no for obvious reasons lol
Food - the great stuff that can't be found in the states will rot
Wine - can find here
Clothes - brand names r cheaper to buy here than over there
So.....what to get???
I was thinking murano glass rings but I doubt those will be found outside of Venice
Please help?

psssshhhh...all i'd get is like a postcard or a t-shift with leaning tower on it for everybody. how about those towels and complementary toiletries from the whatever hotel your staying at, those are terific souveniers! lol
maybe you can find some real momo stuff? that might be cheaper over there.
steal hood ornaments and emblems off the lambos and ferraris, fiats and alfa romeos! can't find many of those in the states!

Sap - Even the mini models r way more expensive than the jada toys
Neothin - my boss brought us booze when she came back from Italy. I can't copy her idea. Besides now no liquid stuff on carry ons and I aint putting those in my clothes

My coworker went to italy and got me a beautiful shotglass that was more art than a shot glass. I collect shotglasses so I loved it. Those usually are only like 6 bucks a piece too. Do that and some chocolate or coffee
