For over a century, March 8th has been International Women's Day or, even better, the International day for women’s rights. Yes, because the meaning of this celebration goes deeper than first appears: March 8th commemorates the social, economic and political conquests of women as well as the discrimination and violence that have too often characterize - and still characterize - the world of women.
This is the 100th time it will be celebrated in Italy - the first Women’s Day in our country dates back to 1922, while it was first celebrated in 1909 in the US. Over the years - what with consumerism and communications not always in line with the celebration - the real reflection behind the occasion emerged rather than the celebration itself.
As we became aware of the deep meaning of this date, it has become a tradition to give a small gift to the women in our lives - whether they are mothers, daughters, wives, girlfriends, colleagues, relatives and friends - on March 8th, to remember the strength and value of the female world!
At Dolceitaliano.it, we have come up with special gifts for this event: let’s ban banality and say yes to excellent Italian products! Do not worry if you are far away: we will deliver your gift for you!
What choice is there? Let’s discover what’s available!
Who does not like chocolate? It is impossible to resist in all its forms, especially when it is high-quality and made according to precise methods that preserve and exalt its aroma.
In order to celebrate March 8th, why not choose the “Happy Pills” by Luca Porretto - no, they are not medicines, but they do calm the senses as they are lovely pralines that represent a true experience of the senses. The name also conveys the idea of the thoughtful gift: the most precious feeling - happiness - in this case, to a woman who you consider to be truly special.
If chocolate is the right gift, we also have La Perla di Torino truffles, Dolcezza Firenze Giaduiotti and the exquisite Tortellini by Majani - top quality flavoursome Italian gems which make the perfect present!
A gift that lasts all week? Choose Unalgiorno, a packet containing 7 jars (six jams plus one honey) by Agrimontana: one for every day of the week. Jams? We are talking about flavours including bitter orange, peach, cherry, strawberry...
The Baci di Venere from Germoglio dei Sapori are ideally dedicated to women: a pink reinterpretation of baci di dama, with a sweet and delicate outer biscuit thanks to a combination of Sicilian almonds and Venere whole rice with a heart boasting an intense, fruity and tangy flavour typical of Ruby chocolate. These characteristics merge to convey a new, light and natural product!
Finally, from the great confectionery tradition, we have Violette Agrimontana - home-made, delicate, good and precious!
Whether it is a wine such as Sorriso di Cielo by La Tosa, or an aromatic tea such as the Eclats selection box by Damman Frères which comes with a lovely infuser, we are certain our drink selection will give you the perfect idea for a unique top-of-the-range gift.
Fancy some champagne? Then we have Taittinger in the Domori version “dressed” in pink - great taste and lovely to look at!
If you are planning on celebrating March 8th with a special drink, then we suggest a Bellini Tropical, Invero Tropical juice by Denis Dianin and Bastia Valdobbiadene Spumante dry (5 cl). Just pour into a flûte, mix lightly with a bar spoon, et voilà! Alternatively, you can use a cocktail glass: the result will be retro and super chic.
