Paris Letter Gift Bundles

It's that time of year.

Everyone is out shopping, browsing for gifts. Paris is always a knockout even if skies are grey and temps dropping. Hello Red Ridding hood!

Every Christmas since I moved to Paris I've wanted to show you the Fab gift bundles you can give yourself or others.

The box designs and ribbons are sensational.

This one caught my eye in Monoprix...they have a Big selection. You say you want that 'je n'ai sait quoi?" Well get scrubbing. I see French women scrubbing away in the pool showers. Why is this essential? They just soaked in a chlorine pool for an hour. Evidently it is.

Anything with the word 'cottage' is considered adorable & trés charmante I guess.

This gift bundle (also at Monoprix 19.95€) is a delightful steal. Everything you need for New Year's Eve including pink Himalayan salt and onion marmelade to put on your foie gras atop your pain d'epice toast. Yum Yum

You will need Champagne with that. Veuve Cliquot will cost you, but oh so worth it. Veuve's gift city metal 'sign' box is a keeper.

I dropped into La Poste office to mail out your perfume letters and noticed their wall display of my Paris letters had diminished.  They admitted some now adorned their walls at home 🥳

I decided to deck my own walls with letters. I'm not done yet but I noticed quite a few images of the beloved Eiffel Tower. Ah ha

Why not create a gift bundle of 6 Paris letter Eiffel Towers! 

Plus an Eiffel Tower giftcard to go with! What's not to love?

I wish I could include a mini-Eiffel Tower brandy bottle in the bundle.

Here's a gift Suzanne Y of California dreamed up from November's perfume map, clever girl

Suzanne says:
“I had a fun, relaxing time coloring! and it didn't take long.  though I think it looks better in real life than the picture I attached here. The paper I used is 80# Strathmore cold press 132 - it was part of a watercolor paper sampler pad and goes through my printer very easily though I had to cut it to 8.5x11 to fit the paper tray. Like I mentioned before, I've copied on 140lb arches but it doesn't always go through the printer. I used Sennelier paint in honor of painting French places but it seems less pigmenty than other brands... I like more pigment look. Smaller paint brush was easier to use than a bigger one. Now that I've had fun painting and there were only 2 sheets of paper you can send, I would prefer the outline... it's free coloring sheet!”

I tried painting one myself this morning. So much fun and just as relaxing as colored pencils

Holiday gift bundles are up on Etsy. Hooray!
