What to include in a gift basket to surprise wife with a trip to Paris, France?
Rachel P asked:
i need items that i can include in a gift basket that i can surprise a client’s wife with a trip to Paris, France this Christmas, for example the commercial where a woman unwraps a hot dog in a box and automatically thinks Chicago. I need a bunch of items for a gift basket that i can buy. just want some good ideas.

In addition to some flowers and candy I would include Art Museum and Eiffel Tower tickets.
Also a map of Paris with some landmarks highlighted.
Cheers.
What a great gift!!!!!
I think should look for things that scream France…
), wine, banquettes, take a walk around the imports section in your grocery store I’m sure you’ll find something…
like maybe a black beret, eiffle tower key chain, French fries (if you wanted to be funny), croissants, a pictures of France, a mini French flag, a picture of Napoleon (again would be funny), a map of France (check traveling agency’s), a French maid costume (something you both can enjoy
Have fun in France… Au’ Revoir!!
If you want to go the kitschy route, fill up the basket with replicas of the Eiffel Tower, Napoleon and Les Invalides. But personally, I’d take a classier approach, and one that’s consistent with your ‘hot dog/Chicago’ approach:
Fill your basket with baguettes, wonderful French cheeses, some pates and rillettes (with accompanying cornichons and moutardes, of course!); and most important, French wine. To add a whimsical touch, perch a black beret on top.
She’ll know right away where she’s going, and she’ll have a lovely lunch to enjoy while she plans her activities in Paris.
Good luck!
