Mother's Day Gift Ideas for the Women we Love

Looking for Mother’s Day gift ideas? I know, it can be a tough one. Does she like chunky necklaces, beaded necklaces? Maybe Murano glass jewelry? The truth of the matter is, the lucky recipient adores you. And she’ll no doubt love whatever you get her because you are an important person in her life.

Just the fact that you’ve put thought and care into getting your mother or sister or loved one that perfect gift is enough for a woman to get all choked up. Take it from one who knows. I’m the type that gets all teary eyed just spending more than 30 seconds in the Hallmark aisle at CVS.

Please visit us at Serena Italian Imports!

For a few creative gifts, here’s a collection of Italian jewelry and other Italian ideas that might help.

The Excitement of Seeing the UPS Man!

Even though I don’t have the pleasure of meeting all of my clients in person, they have become very important people in my life; I do feel like I know them. And there are so many more that I’d like to get to know. Italian jewelry and Italian handbags have connected me to people all over the world.

So when we choose Italian merchandise to import, we are thinking of our clients and what we think they might like for the season. They are always with us!

I’m thrilled when I see the UPS man at our door with our boxes. I can’t wait to present the new merchandise to my dear clients. And all the better that the arrival is from Italy- kind of like when we were little and stood at the window waiting for the long distance relatives to arrive!

Our newest line of Italian jewelry is carried in the US only by Serena Italian Imports. It’s light, delicate and perfect for spring and summer. The colorful stretchy bracelets have Swarovski beads - and no worries about wrist size. Included in this line are also simple Swarovski beaded necklaces and stud earrings.

Let us bring Italy to you- and we hope you feel the same sense of excitement when YOUR package arrives from Serena.

Some New Year's Thoughts From Serena Italian Imports

Tanti auguri!

Those of us who are small business people, whether we sell Italian handbags, Italian jewelry or anything else, are seeing signs that the worst is over and that 2011 will be a prosperous and fulfilling year for all of us.

Looking back at the past few years, wiser now, albeit a bit greyer, we must realize that whatever our circumstances may be, we’ve all been through some unbearable times- as individuals, as families and as communities.

As I’ve gotten older, I realize more and more that nothing lasts forever. And this is true for both extremes- the fabulous highs and the “in the pits” lows. This realization and acceptance is very liberating to me. I can enjoy and appreciate the highs while they exist, be they personal or professional - and accept them just for what they are. I’m able to stop striving for perfection in every area of my life, because it’s an unattainable goal. And I can give up thinking that true happiness only occurs when every area of my life is in harmony. Why did it take me so long to figure this out?!

What remains is a substantially calmer place, warts and all. So businesses carry on, and we make space figuratively and literally for 2011.We plan with realistic hopes and dreams that this coming year be successful. In the spirit of making space for the New Year, we have sale priced a large selection of Angela Caputi jewelry. So have a look and give yourselves what you really wanted for the holidays!
Our best wishes to you for a year of good health and happiness.

Un bacione a tutti.

Angela Caputi Chain Link Bracelets Connect the World Link By Link

One of the aspects of my career which I like the most is that it affords me the possibility to interact with people worldwide. We get requests for our Italian jewelry, Italian handbags, and Italian accessories not only from the US, but also from several countries in Europe, Australia, Canada, and other parts of the world.
Recently, a woman from British Columbia found our website and was looking for a specific Angela Caputi bracelet. She had seen it, worn by Viviana Volpicella, in a stunning photo taken in Milan, seen here. And by the way, if you don’t already follow The Sartorialist Blog, do yourself a favor and start looking at it. The daily photos of people give us a glimpse at individual styles worldwide. Who knows, you may even start incorporating new flair into your own style, and get some fashion tips.
The following day, we received a message from a woman in Virginia, once again sending us a link to that same photo. And today, Minnesota and Australia! A picture says a thousand words!
Fortunately we carry this Angela Caputi bracelet, and offer it in several colors.
There are some classic designs by Signora Angela Caputi that endure year after year, that are simple and well-priced. They also are easy to wear, and go with just about anything. Three easy pieces that come to mind are her Circle Bangle, Click Bracelet and Chain Link Bracelet.
Serena Italian Imports carries all of these. They make great holiday gifts and are loved by everyone.

Make sure to rub this nose to ensure a quick return to Florence!
