French Charmed............a new addition to the Gift Guide



I was charmed by my new Gift Guide advertiser for a number of gift-giving reasons. Let me introduce Rochele of French Charmed who has brought together a lovely collection of what she calls "french, vintage, and girly" and I know you will enjoy her website and new blog. She is a girly girl with the most charming gift ideas. Check in often, I think she loves to add new things.


The La French Wrap is simply one of the loveliest fabric hat boxes I've seen and is the latest wrapping introduction from French Charmed. Beautiful enough to be the gift itself or add in a something special. The sophisticated Parisian satin boxes are available in two sizes and the black satin ribbon is attached to the lid so it is easily opened and used in her vanity or bedroom. The large box is 11.5" diam by 5.5" tall , small is 7.5 diam. by 3.5" tall and both come gift-ready with 3 sheets of the signature back and cream stripe tissue and black shred. A small tiara pin (removable) is attached to the ribbon closure. Aren't they lovely?


French Charmed really does sell a Tiara. Remember my Small Comforts post on Warrior Princess? There are lots of reasons to make a woman feel like a princess and all of them are special. Slip the sparkly crown or any other feminine treasure into these elegant boxes and you have one beautiful presentation.



With wedding season just beginning, this Custom French Pillow caught my eye because I think it makes for a fabulous Wedding Gift. French Charmed will personalize the 23" x 13" burlap and grain sack type pillow with the names and date of your choice, just allow 2-3 weeks for delivery of this beautifully-handcrafted item. This would be a thoughtful and personal addition to your cash or gift card gift, slip your envelope in the rear of the cushion (though make sure you tell them in your card). And while we are thinking of gifts, wouldn't this be equally as memorable as a baby gift? A nursery keepsake for the new Mademoiselle or Monsieur? I love this idea.


Black and cream ticking adds style to this Pinot Noir Bourgogne Wine Label on linen fabric. Something to send to the wine loving friend. Maybe the hostess whose wine and hospitality you so recently enjoyed?


The French Piano Recital Pillow Slip is printed on Grain Sack Cotton Fabric and would appeal to anyone with a listening or playing ear for beautiful music.
