- Social Gift Giving in Italy – "At an early age, Italian children are taught to put a lot of thought into the selection of a gift, considering their recipient's interests and tastes. As a visitor, you should do the same" – "Gifts are expected for social events and to express thanks for an invitation. If you are invited to someone's home, a gift of wine, chocolates, pastries or flowers is appropriate. If you prefer to send flowers, have them delivered earlier in the day. You may consider a gift for the host's wife in appreciation for preparing the meal. And, if you visit a family, consider small gifts for the children as well."
- Christmas Gift Giving in Italy – "In Italy, most of the Christmas gift giving occurs on the Epiphany. The 12th day of Christmas, Epiphany is the day the three wise men arrived at the manger bearing gifts for the Baby Jesus. As the story goes, the three wise men stopped by the abode of La Befana. Although invited to join them, she refused but later changed her mind and set out to find the Christ child. According to legend, she is still searching. Everywhere she visits, she leaves gifts for the children in hopes of finding the Baby Jesus. Children hang their stockings on the evening of January 5, awaiting gifts from La Befana."
