With Valentine’s Day just around the corner and love in bloom all year long, and I’ve put together a list of gift ideas directly from Paris. Perfect even to treat yourself (#selflove). I’m hoping these romantic gift ideas will bring you a little closer to the city of light and love until you can visit again in person. If you’re lucky enough to be in Paris, head over to flower shop L’Arrosoir to pick up a bouquet, bag, and book!
Chocolate is always a good idea, especially if it’s produced by a local chocolatier, in Paris. Having discovered Edwart Chocolatier when they first open their Marais boutique in 2014, I’ve been a fan of their unique concoctions ever since. Edwart also offers chocolate making classes which I had the sweet pleasure of joining.
