Tradicional gifts

I was born in Romania, but now live in Spain and I like to traveling very much. I thought for traditional gifts in three countries:

•        Russia
•      Italy
•     Africa

RUSSIA
Russian Matryoshka

Nesting dolls or Matryoskas are the most popular gift in Russia. The Matryoshka are traditional Russian dolls, hollow inside, which contain within them smaller MatryoshkaThe form is cylindrical, and haven´t got hands. It´s painted by hand. The first Russian nesting dolls was born in Moscow in 1890, his creative was Sava Mamontov an industrialist of the art.The Matrioskas are a traditional gift for the Christmas day´s. When traveling to Russia, buy this wonderful gift for my grandmother.

     ITALY

Glass of Murano

The Glass of Murano was born in an Italy island called Venice, YHR artisan makes the glass blowing, this technique is very antique since century X. The glass can find in all types of products as lamps, vases or jewelers. The glass of Murano is the most popular souvenir in Venice, people when travels to Italy normally buy some piece of Murano. I think that is very beautiful.

                                                          

                                          AFRICA                                       

                                          African masks

  In Africa there are a variety of African traditional gifts that represent the skill and craftsmanship of the people in the country. Authentic products made ​​by people in Africa are beautiful memories of culture and history. I have chosen as a gift African mask.There are special meanings behind every African mask, depicting history and culture of the country. The masks are a symbol of wealth and are highly revered.
