Gifts/Souvenirs

Hello, I was wondering what the best places around Florence might be to purchase gifts and souvenirs that are authentically Italian? I'd hate to travel all that way and get something made in china. Is the ponte vecchio bridge a good spot? Guess I'm interested in things for my sisters. scarves, maybe a couple silver items, gloves. Any hidden gems? Thanks.

Christopher, always check for the "made in Italy" mark. The Ponte Vecchio bridge is like a Tiffany box - you are paying for the iconic value as well as the item itself. The things you name are easily found, be sure you have European sizes for the gloves.
