For the hostess with the most-ess

An unforgettable holiday celebration is often thanks to the thoughtful work by the host or hostess. Appreciating small details and little touches, any party planner would be overjoyed with an elegant hosting gift from France.

Itโ€™s always interesting to spice up the tableware setโ€ฆ

or serve drinks with stunning glasses and drink accessoriesโ€ฆ

or even make simple things โ€“ like salt and pepper shakers โ€“ย a conversation piece!

For the book worm

Thereโ€™s nothing an avid reader loves more than another book! In every issue of the MFCH Magazine, we have a section called โ€œBook Clubโ€ which highlights new books released that feature topics about or in France. We highly recommend giving that section a skim for the latest good reads.

You can also spruce up their library with a beautiful notebook and charming pencilsโ€ฆ

And include a beautiful coffee table book to adorn their collection with a striking cover.

For the one-of-a-kind antique lover

Some people are so unique that itโ€™s difficult to know what to get them. Perhaps this year, you can surprise them with something just as one-of-a-kind as them: a French antique!

Whether they are more interested in artโ€ฆ

or in detailed tableware with historyโ€ฆ

or a quirky vase that can be filled with blooming flowersโ€ฆ

There is no way you can go wrong with such a thoughtful choice.
