Gifting Secret
“In France, we never just give an ‘object.’ We give an experience. If you buy Mom the French tea, include a beautiful linen napkin. If you buy her the cookbook, tuck a sprig of fresh lavender inside the box. Use a Market straw basket as the gift box. It is the attention to detail that makes a gift French.”
