Outdoor Pizza Oven

As true Italian pizza lovers, we adore this wood pellet-powered outdoor pizza oven. It’s ideal for Neapolitan-style pies, as well as for roasting Fiorentina steaks, fish, lamb chops, burgers, salmon, vegetable dishes and so much more.

  • Planet-friendly because: Pellet wood is a more eco-friendly alternative to non-renewable fossil fuel such as oil, coal and propane gas.

Cutting Board Set

This set of 3 cutting boards is not only durable, but also very beautiful. They can double as cheese platters for your holiday get-togethers. Plus bamboo is antimicrobial and a stronger, natural alternative to wood. It’s easy on knife blades, too!

  • Planet-friendly because: Bamboo is one of the most renewable resources in the world.

Gelato Maker

Italians have gelato year round. With this compact gelato maker you too can make delicious Italian-style gelato and fill holiday cones with homemade nocciola, cioccolata and fragola flavors. Forget the industrial-style gelato you’ve tasted until now.

  • Planet-friendly because: Making homemade gelato reduces the consumption of water in the process of preparation.

Insulated Oven Dish Carrier

Pie-bakers and generous potluck participants will swoon for this brilliant heatproof lasagna lugger. It’s expandable and insulated to keep foods warm and fits 11” x 15” baking vessel, straight from the oven.

  • Planet-friendly because: It reduces the use of single-use aluminum trays.

Espresso On The Go

The perfect gift for the coffee lover in your life. Having the option of drinking espresso anywhere you go sounds somewhat magical, doesn’t it? This portable espresso machine makes those dreams a reality. Just add boiling water, pump a few strokes to pressurize and extract perfect espresso with generous crema!

Flip-Top Glass Bottles

Glass bottles with stoppers can be used to store a vast array of liquids: juices, vinegar, beverages and water, olive oil, beer, wine, limoncello, milk and much more. The 1-liter size gives plenty to serve at the next holiday party. By gifting these reusable glass bottles you’re helping cut down the use of single-use plastic.
