Paris Gift Guide: Delighting the senses
With all this Paris business on my mind, not only have I been missing friends and other familiar faces, I've been missing Paris products.
What I wouldn't give for salted butter from France.
So I've created a Paris Gift Guide for all the Francophiles on your list. You can buy all this on Amazon. Just click on the links or photos. These are items you're bound to see while walking the streets of Paris. Slap these babies in a basket and you've got yourself a gift that will delight the senses.
This wins the prize for pretty soaps to have on display or even use.
Infused with truffles. Dip your baguette in a puddle of it and call that dinner.
Real macarons from Laduree don't travel well from Paris (and not just because you eat them before you board at the gate), but this pretty candle does. Win!
Never before have I had a refreshing shower like those girls on commercials until I tried this soap. Mon Dieu!
Because these days it's nice to be reminded that la vie est actually belle.
Don't be fooled by fancy jars of Herbes de Provence. What you want is volume because once you begin cooking with it, you be adding it all the time and you will cease to be stingy.
It's a delicate salty salt. Just a pinch will do.
Not your regular dijon. This is wholegrain goodness. Adds a nice crunch.
