File under "Things I don't need at a price I would not pay", but it's still fun to look at the pictures, right? From Santa Maria Novella, the "Leather Beauty Case Top Box Model", whatever that might mean. "Leather beauty-case naturally dressed and totally hand-made by Florentine artisans. The particular type of waterproof and stain-resistant leather makes this beauty-case aesthetically pleasing and practical for traveling." $348, and surely it would cart around enough decants and samples for your next trip.

Why isn't there a bottle of this in my liquor cabinet already? Santa Maria Novella Elisir di Rose ("The Elixir of roses is a traditional liquor, based gallic rose syrup, which has digestive properties and vitamins through its petals. Ideal for flavour fruit salads, sherbet ice cream, tea, hot or cold. Great Aperitif: served with chilled white wine, preferably dry with sparkling wine or rum.") Yes, folks, vitamins! (Plus, 35% alcohol). And they also make Elisir di China, Elisir di Edimburgo, Cappuchino Liquore, Liquore Mediceo and several others (including a red one called Alkermes that is said to be an ancestor of Campari, and that probably would have cured my Lyme disease). Somebody pick me up a few next time you're in Florence, yes?
