What are some (cheap) gift ideas that i can bring back to my friends from FRANCE?

Question

I'm going on a trip to France and I need ideas on what to bring back for my friends. I'd like to bring back something symbolic/cool.

Like when you go to NY, an "I LOVE NY" shirt is always a good gift.

..help pleaseeee? :)

Answer 1

Eiffel tower keychains are always a bit hit!

Answer 2

Food is a good gift because we've got the best food in the world. ;-) Like Un bon munster (very good smelly cheese from Alsace). There are 365 kind of cheese in France. We can eat a cheese a day. Une saussice fumée, une choucroute, une tartiflete, une potée lorraine...

An eiffel tower ! No, it's "ringard" (has been).

A shirt 'I LOVE FRANCE" !

Answer 3

I remember having bought "Paris" T-Shirts not far from Eiffel tower.

On the french riviera (Cote d'Azur) there are a lot of souvenirs shops where you can buy shirts, beach towels or other stuff. I regretted not having bought a "Cote d'Azur" towel with a naked woman on it when I saw one.

Answer 4

You've answered your vown question - how about "I love F"?

Answer 5

I brought my friends key chains and pillow cases (the decorative, beaded kind).  They were both really cheap (Versailles has the best key chains, department stores the best pillow cases), and they fit in my luggage - one carry-on!
