DREAM BIG: Our Staff Picks Their Ultimate Misto Lino Gifts

The final Christmas shopping weekend is upon us, and for those of you in pursuit of a seriously fabulous, ultra-special gift, you're in luck! To help make it as easy as possible, we asked a group of highly-trained, stealth, exceptionally adept shopping professionals--our staff--what they would love to find under their own tree on Christmas morning.

Judy: Vintage Scalloped Bowl by Arte Italica, $375. What a looker! The perfect marriage of centuries-old form and modern convenience. Italian pewter, hand made in Italy. Stunning in every possible way.

Lisa: "A mani basse!" (Hands down!)...a set of handpainted Italian dinnerware from Ubaldo Grazia, in Foglie Frutta or Arabesco Luigi pattern...either will suffice nicely. :-)
