Obviously France is a pretty cool place, so t-shirts with French words, mugs with the Eiffel Tower and even French-themed jewelry are all hugely popular.

French gifts & Paris gift ideas
Picking out the perfect French gift for that special someone on your list isn’t easy, so let me give you some French inspiration if you’re shopping for a Francophile.
For the accessory lover
No Francophile’s Christmas is complete without something from Ladurée. Start with a box of macarons and then give her something to remember them by with this signature key chain that looks great decorating a bag. It comes in a bunch of color options and looks fabulous in person, too. I saw it last week in the store and this tops my French gift list for a reason!
This Francophile Scene tote bag in the Oui In France shop is now eco-friendly! Pick up the above design to tote a few things around town in style. The same design also comes on t-shirts, mugs, and more. FYI, I designed everything in my shop and this colorful Paris-inspired design is my favorite.
Something shiny
Instead of weighing down Paris’s Pont des Arts bridge with your love lock, get this gorgeous Lock & Love necklace to show your devotion to Paris instead. You can never go wrong with jewelry.
When it rains
Think of France every time it pours with this France umbrella complete with scenes from Paris and beyond. Sure beats a regular old black umbrella an is a French gift that will transport you to Paris when it rains.
