Great Christmas gifts for anyone who loves France
We know it's just October and Christmas seems a while away, but we also know that early organisation can help take stress out of seasonal gift-buying
With Christmas approaching faster than you think, you may be starting to wonder what gifts to buy for friends and family … but if you are buying for someone who enjoys France and all things French, then we have the answer!
Simply log on to the Connexion Shop to find a range of France-themed gift ideas - including attractive and useful France-themed quality tea towels and aprons.
And remember, you pay postage only once for delivery no matter how many items you order if you have your chosen gifts sent to a single address.
Chief cooks and bottle washers can add a splash of French style to their big Christmas dinner preparations with one of two quality 100% heavy cotton, Made in France aprons (tablier) (€19.90 + p&p).
One features the emblematic logo of Nicolas Alziari, one of France's best-known and best-loved olive oil makers, who has been making oils and selling them in France and all over the world since 1868; while the second features the French winemaker Moulin des Vrillères.
Keeping the kitchen theme, drying the dishes after the big meal could become a little more Français with our collection of specially selected 100% cotton, 100% Made in France tea towels.
The vineyards of France teatowel (€11.50 + p&p) could take some of the guesswork out of choosing the right wine for each course! Or, you could treat them to not one, but two quality French-made tea-towels featuring French wine houses "Moulin des Vrillères" and "Charmes-Chambertin". Both are available individually (€11.50 + p&p), or you could order the pair for €19 (plus p&p).
Alternatively, there is a value-for-money three-towel bundle (€29.90 + p&p) featuring French bread, cheese and, of course, the wine.
