In Italy gifts are a way of strengthening relationships and are carefully considered.
In Italy the giving of gifts is a labor of love. Italians put a lot of thought in the selection of a gift. Generally they are never expensive but of good quality.Italians give gifts for many occasions and always bring a small hostess gift to show their appreciation.
Although the verb “to give” in Italian is “dare”, when giving a gift, it is more common to use the verb “regalare”, or “to gift." To give something as a gift requires the verb “to make” rather than “to give”...so in Italian, you make a gift not give a gift (fare un regalo). It is a very personalized experience. The most common Italian word for a gift is “un regalo” (or “regalino” small gift). However you will also see the word “pensiero” or “pensierino” meaning a small gift or “token”. Pensare is the Italian verb meaning "to think" so the use of this word in gifting is a significant insight into the way Italians view this gesture, a gift is a thought sent to you.
