I will be going to Italy this spring, what would be a nice gift for 2 very
trendy sofisticated women intheir late 40's? Also a 21 yr old young man
also trendy.
I appreciate any advice you can give me.
Thanks

I have been friends with a few Italian women, and here are some tips which you could possibly use:D!
If you are not sure of the sizes of the women in their 40's,scarves are usually a good idea. Try something sleek, rich and not too shiny in colors like black, steel grey and cream: sure to be a hit! Scarves are a great fashion accessory, and easy to shop. Ethnic self-colored (black-on-black or cream on cream and so on, if you know what I mean) scarves are really in, and should make them happy. Bags make great gifts too, but remember the Italians create the best bags, so it is hard to find something non-Italian that would appeal to the refined tastes of an Italian donna;)
For a trendy 21-year old, the gift to win her over would be jewelry to die for, because when you are young, you usually cant afford custom-made jewelry. (Unless one is like Paris Hilton, of course!) Pick something that is one-of-a-kind, or exclusive, because mass-produced jewelry is so not on this season. Circle shapes are really hip, so go for circular pendants, solid circle earrings, and maybe try some gold. Gold is really in and if you choose a warm but non-shiny tone that complements European skin, you have got yourself a winner!
I hope you have a great trip, and please post whether the ladies liked their gifts:)

What about some sportwear for the 21 year old. I do not suggest anything electric since the voltage is different.
