So get ready to knock her socks off with these romantic and thoughtful gifts that bring a little special je ne sais quoi and a touch of Parisian culture to her every day.

1. Chanel Valentine’s Day gift ideas: The Classic Red Lip

Nothing says effortless French elegance like a bold red lip, and Chanel’s iconic red lipstick just serves that timeless Parisian look. It’s a small but classic gift that she can carry everywhere, adding a touch of chic to any outfit.

Important tip: There are several Chanel red shades. You can start with the Chanel 99 Pirate and grab the gift receipt to include it when you give it to her! While the Chanel red lip is iconic, every person has their own shade of red that suits them best. This way, if she is looking for a slightly different shade, you’ve got it in the bag.

2. Take a Croissant-Making Class Together

What could be more romantic than baking buttery, flaky croissants together? A croissant-making class isn’t just an activity—it’s an experience. You’ll laugh, you’ll learn, and best of all, you’ll end up with delicious croissants to enjoy. Plus, it’s a new skill you can both bring into a Saturday or weekend morning if you want it to be a bit more special.

3. Spoil her with a Hermès Scarf Valentine’s Day gift

If you’re looking to really surprise her, an Hermès scarf is a gift that screams Parisian luxury. There may be some sticker shock since these scarves run about $400+ each. However, these scarves are timeless and versatile! She can wear it around her neck, tie it to her bag, or even use it as a headscarf. It’s definitely an investment piece that she will treasure forever.

4. Gift her a Coucou French Class course (online or in-person)

If she’s dreaming of Paris but doesn’t quite have the language down yet, surprise her with a French class from Coucou French Classes. It’s a fun and interactive way for her to practice her bonjour and merci, and it’ll get her even more excited for her next trip to France. You could even join her as a fun couples activity to do together.

4. Make a Romantic Dinner Reservation at a French Restaurant

Treat her to an evening of romance and fine dining at a French restaurant. Whether it’s a cozy bistro or a Michelin-starred spot, nothing sets the mood like candlelight, wine, and authentic French cuisine. Just a tip: go for a table by the window or a quiet corner to make it extra cozy and private.

5. Valentine’s Day Gifts for the Girlfriend who Loves Paris Fashion

Think of something effortlessly chic: a Breton striped top, a trench coat, or a sleek black dress with black Chelsea boots. Gifting her a classic piece from a French brand not only upgrades her wardrobe but also lets her embody that Parisian je ne sais quoi every day.

Some of my favorite iconic looks I’ve gotten are from French brands, such as Maje, Sézane and Sandro! I have purchased pieces from these shops years ago that I still use lovingly to this day. Investment pieces are the way to go.

7. Classy French Wine Tasting Date at a Wine Bar

For the girlfriend who loves wine, a tasting session is the perfect way to spend Valentine’s Day. You’ll explore incredible French wines together while enjoying a cozy and sophisticated atmosphere. Pair it with some French cheeses for the ultimate tasting experience.

8. A Gift for the Bookworm Girlfriend – A Bite-Sized History of France by Hénaut and Mitchell

For a thoughtful and intellectual gift for your bookworm, A Bite-Sized History of France: Gastronomic Tales of Revolution, War, and Enlightenment by Stéphane Hénaut and Jeni Mitchell is perfect because it dives into French culture. This book is a delightful and digestible (no pun intended) journey through French history, told through the lens of its iconic food and drink. This read is lightweight yet entertainingly educational for the Francophile who loves a good story.

9. Staycation at a French-inspired Hotel

You can escape to Paris without leaving your own airport. Book a night at a French-inspired boutique hotel for a dreamy staycation. Think breakfast in bed with fresh croissants, chic décor, and plenty of quality time together.

Here are a few ideas if you are in or will be in the NYC area:

• The Bowery Hotel in Bowery
• The Hotel Chelsea in Chelsea
• The Plaza Hotel in Central Park
• The Beekman Hotel in Financial District

10. Parisian Statement Mirror

A large Parisian-style mirror is show-stopping statement pieces that bring a touch of French charm to any space. I wanted the highly sought-after Anthropologie Primrose Mirror, though I ended up getting something similar. Nonetheless, I certainly love mine. I get compliments on it every time I have guests over!

If it were in the budget at the time, I would have undoubtedly taken the Anthropologie Primrose mirror any day and I certainly admired it each time at the store. It’s sturdy and of good quality that will elevate any room. I just know she’ll love adding a little Parisian flair to her (or your shared) home.

The Primrose Mirror comes in four different sizes and range from $350-$1,200.

I’ll also link the one I got (pictured) from Perigold, which was $385. However, it’s currently on sale!

11. Anthropologie Sets for Parisian Dinner Parties

Upgrade her table setting with Anthropologie’s French-inspired flatware. It’s the kind of gift that feels practical yet luxurious, making every meal at home feel like dining in a Parisian bistro or French countryside farmhouse.

12. French Songs Playlist

Okay, this may sound a little corny and a little 2001 when cute playlists as gifts were a thing. But it is undeniable that it scores high when it comes to thoughtfulness and heartfelt effort.

Put together a playlist of classic French songs, from Édith Piaf to modern hits like Emma Peters, Clio, Lomepal, Videoclub and Carla Bruni. It’s such a personal and creative gift. It’ll transport her straight to the streets and shops of Paris. You know what would be a great icing on the cake? Include a cute note about how certain songs reminds you of her.

13. A Simple 3-Course Home-Cooked French Dinner

And sometimes the most romantic gifts are the simplest ones. Cook her a three-course French dinner at home: maybe a starter of French onion soup, a main of coq au vin, and a classic crème brûlée for dessert. Light some candles, pour some wine, and you’ve got the perfect Parisian evening, all without leaving your kitchen.

Conclusion

If you can’t take her to Paris this season, bring Paris to her! I know this list was a bit exhaustive, but I tried to hit all five love languages: quality time, gifts, acts of service, words of affirmation, and physical touch. You know your honey best. So I hope one (or two) of these gifts helped you out and will put a big smile on her face. 🙂
