{"product_id":"amalfi-sunset-box","title":"Amalfi Sunset: Body Scrub \u0026 Vietri Ceramic Soap Dish Gift Set","description":"\u003ch4\u003eDESCRIPTION\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA gift box from Blu Costiera, the Amalfi Coast brand founded by Antonio and Raffaella, a husband-and-wife team who left law to build something out of the coast they loved. Inside: one Amalfi Sunset body scrub and one soap dish hand-painted by artisans in Vietri sul Mare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmalfi Sunset is freesia and summer fruit — ripe fruit wrapped in white freesia, the sweetest scent in the range and the one that smells most like August on the coast. It is a scrub rather than a plain soap: ultra-fine microparticles lift dead skin while you wash, and shea butter and jojoba oil keep it from drying you out. Made in Italy, vegan, never tested on animals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe box is printed in the sunset colors the scent is named for — orange, red and magenta geometric tilework, the pattern you see underfoot on terraces and stair landings all along the coast. The soap dish inside carries a red starfish with orange coral on white, inside a green and orange rim: hand-painted in Vietri sul Mare, the ceramic town on the Amalfi Coast, where this work has been done by hand for centuries. The scrub runs out; the dish stays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brightest box in the collection, and the easiest one to give to someone whose taste you do not know.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEach soap dish is hand-painted in Vietri sul Mare, so no two are identical and yours will differ slightly from the one photographed.

The box is finished and ready to give as it is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does Amalfi Sunset smell like?\u003c\/strong\u003e Freesia and summer fruit — ripe and floral at once. The sweetest and most summery scent Blu Costiera makes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between the scrub and a plain soap?\u003c\/strong\u003e The scrub is a solid bar like the soap, with ultra-fine microparticles worked through it that lift dead skin as you wash. It cleans and exfoliates in one step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the soap dish real Italian ceramic?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. It is made and hand-painted by artisans in Vietri sul Mare on the Amalfi Coast. Every dish is different — this one is painted with a red starfish and orange coral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this vegan?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — vegan, not tested on animals, and enriched with shea butter and jojoba oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is this different from the other Blu Costiera gift boxes?\u003c\/strong\u003e Same format, different scent and different hand-painted dish. Amalfi Sunset is the sweet, fruity one; Positano Sunray is citrus and orange blossom; Giardini Mediterranei is green and garden-like.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a good Italian wedding gift?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a good gift for a bridal shower, a bridesmaid, or a wedding guest favor. For the wedding itself, Biordi's hand-painted Deruta dinnerware is the traditional choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a good housewarming or hostess gift?\u003c\/strong\u003e One of the best in the store. It is finished, it is under $100, and the dish stays in the house long after the scrub is used up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy buy Italian gifts from Biordi rather than other retailers?\u003c\/strong\u003e Biordi has imported from Italy since 1946 and is a San Francisco Legacy Business. Everything here is chosen in person from the workshops and brands that make it — this one on a trip to the Amalfi Coast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this be customized or personalized?\u003c\/strong\u003e Blu Costiera gift boxes are not customizable — but the ceramic soap dish inside is hand-painted in Vietri sul Mare, so no two are alike and the one you receive will differ slightly from the photograph. For personalized Italian pieces with a name, date or occasion painted on, Biordi works with Eugenio Ricciarelli, FIMA, Pia Formato and Geribi.
