 Brigitte Eau de Parfum by Tocca
I highly suggest giving this gift to the woman in your life whether she is a Francophile or
not. It smells so good that it literally uplifts your mood. Actually it has a “sexy” scent
which is why it’s named after and inspired by Brigitte Bardot at the height of her
sexiness and the imagery of her riding her bicycle in Farm Markets in the South of
France. The notes in the scent are delightfully sweet Morrocan rose, papaya, ginger,
rhubarb, sandalwood and musk. http://tocca.com


Ooh La La Soap by Lush
Help her calm her frazzled nerves with a pretty bar of Ooh La La Soap by Lush. This
lovely lavender scented soap lathers up into a pretty shade of fucshia pink. She’ll feel
like she’s bathing in a French garden. The smell of lavender is known to have a
soothing and calming effect. http://lush.com

Rosetta Stone: Learn to speak French in a matter of months!
Le meilleur cadeau que vous pouvez donner est le cadeau de langue! What better way
to tell the Francophile in your life how much you love them than to give them the gift of
learning a new language -French! Rosetta Stone allows the user to learn at their own
pace as quickly or slowly as they want. It’s used by the US State Department and Military
and you know they mean business. So if your Francophile regrets not paying attention in
high school French class, they can make up for it by dedicating a few months to Rosetta
Stone. http://rosettastone.com

Macarons by Paulette Beverly Hills
Yummy yummy doo! Not to be confused with “Macaroons” (double o), Macarons are a
traditional and delicious French pastry made of egg whites, almond powder, icing and
sugar and shaped into little round mini burger-like domes. They are also stylish, coming
in all sorts of colors from pastel yellows to bold reds & purples. Although this gift could
be eaten up in one sitting, it’s still an eventful goodie. Macarons can’t be easily found
anywhere in the US as they can be found at any random bakery in Paris but luckily there
are a few bakeries that sell them. $18 per box of 18 Macarons.
