Giadzy Holiday Gift Guide 2023
When we put together our annual gift guides, we start by asking everyone on the Giadzy team (including Giada!) what gifts they’d be happiest to receive this year. You won’t be surprised to learn that while we all come from different backgrounds, there are a few kinds of gift we can all agree on. (We all work around delicious Italian food every day, after all!) These are the most delightful, desirable gifts we’d be thrilled to receive this year, for the culinary connoisseur, jet-setter, self-care guru, and social butterfly.
