Christmas List Ideas: Know someone who is obsessed with Paris or all things French? Here are a few of my favorite things for the Francophile’s on your Christmas. There is something for every budget and I have included the descriptions directly from their websites. Simply click on the image to go directly to their site for more information on where to order these delights:
Milk Soap
Mistral’s Petit French Soap
Like fresh sprinkled baby powder, this delicate and gentile scent for dry and sensitive skin…made in Provence. $3.50 per bar.
Crème Brûlèe
Dessert in a Jar: Petaluma, California–based Rob Waddell sells the silky dessert in three flavors. You’ll need to blowtorch the top to get a restaurant-style crackly crust.($40 for six 4-oz jars; sweetcremebrulee.foodzie.com)
Chocolate
At La Maison du Chocolat every creation is a delight! From chocolate ganache to dark chocolate bars: a La Maison du Chocolat boutique is the perfect place for those who want to buy luxury French chocolate. Hat box gift assortment $100.
Handbags
Kasia Dietz’s Canvas Totes are inspired by prints designed by Kasia’s mom in the 70’s, more recently evolving into her own individual style. Each canvas bag is hand-painted, resulting in a unique piece of wearable art, reversing to reveal another one-of-a-kind creation. List price 75 €.
Watch
Mont Blanc’s Princess Grace watch has a silhouette and classical beauty reminiscent of similar traits embodied by Gracia Patricia. The symbol of the rose petal in the form of a pink sapphire teardrop adorns the dial and also serves as a marker for the 6 o’clock position. The brand’s symbol appears as a mother-of-pearl inlay on the crown. List price $3,215.
All of the photos and descriptions were taken directly from the vendors’ websites. The Weekend In Paris did not receive any compensation for providing you with this list. Happy shopping!

A talented friend of mine does beautiful photography prints of Paris–I hope you don’t mind the additional suggestion. You can browse at http://www.foundviewgallery.com.

Dear Anne,
I totally agree with you! La Maison du Chocolat is heaven and ships to the US which is even better. I can get my fix in between times in Paris.
Cheers,
Priscilla
I’ll take that Mont Blanc watch–so very pretty.
See, I offered the $3.50 soap, but the gals always want the watch…LOL, thanks so much for taking the time to comment and I hope Santa is good to you and thinks Mont Blanc!
Cheers,
Priscilla
