To find truly unique gifts from Florence and between visits to the museums, churches and restaurants put some adventure in your shopping. While jewelry shops line the Ponte Vecchio and Via Torabuoni hosts the big names in Italian fashion, the side streets offer small unique shops selling chocolates, olive oil, handmade paper products and more. Leather shops abound in the outdoor markets but quality can be uneven. Scuola del Cuoio and Madova gloves sell impeccably made leather goods.
