I am fed up with paying UK prices + postage for presents for DB, SIL and DN (and soon DN2 who is on the way) so I am looking for some good French sites. Amazon.fr is very limited, and I think I have done to death flowers from aquarelle.com

What are your favourire sites for stuff (pressies) for you, your DP and your DC? I need to find birthday presents for all three and a baby present when DN2 arrives...

TIA.

The school holidays here are from Friday 19 October after school to Thursday 8 November in the morning. Were you planning to come to Paris during that time?

Franca - if you want to stay overnight I can book a hotel - there's a very nice one just around the corner from my flat - big advantage is that the bus routes are great so it is easy to get around.

I've started a dedicated thread to the Paris meetup in "Living Overseas".

Stop tempting me. what about my "green" credentials?

Anna8888 · 10/09/2007 14:20

Surely it's greener to stay here a bit longer once you have actually committed the terrible eco-deed of flying in the first place?

Anna8888 · 10/09/2007 14:24

Anyway, I'm going to stop by the hotel later and find out about rates/availability
