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!

I think should look for things that scream France... 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 :) ), wine, banquettes, take a walk around the imports section in your grocery store I'm sure you'll find something... Have fun in France... Au' Revoir!! What a great gift!!!!!

Also a map of Paris with some landmarks highlighted. Cheers. In addition to some flowers and candy I would include Art Museum and Eiffel Tower tickets.
