Lately our kitchen has been filled with the scents of holiday cooking.   We’re making cookies, preparing party treats, and this year, we’ve even whipped up a few homemade gifts for our neighbors.  With all this great stuff simmering, we don’t want some over the top home product taking away from the delicious aromas.

Which is exactly why we love all of the products from Cucina!

We’ ve got more great gifts for the top chef in your life, so be sure to pop in and see what else we’re cooking up!

Over the hill and through the woods, or maybe just down the highway a little, to grandmother’s house we go! This holiday, don’t show up with the same lame fruit cake. You think Gram is the coolest and we have just the gifts to show it.

If your grandmother is far away and you won’t be there to see her in person this year, wrap her neck in style with our cashmere scarves in gorgeous colors!  They ship easily and she’ll feel fabulous when she wears it, like a warm hug around her neck just from you.

Not that her cooking has any competition as far as you are concerned.cucinaduo

If your grandmother is an original dame, she might just love our vintage inspired necklaces from jewelry designer Lenora Dame.  Each piece is a modern approach to an antique design, with gorgeous bits of fabric and intricate beading. The necklaces are striking and unique, just like she is.
