  • I went to Paris to visit Mom and thought I would share what I bring back for myself and the family. These are staples in my home, items we all look forward to having around the house, however long they last. I am sharing skincare, chocolates, clothing, shoes and other categories with you to give you ideas on what to bring back from your next French vacation!
    Enjoy!

    OMG! You should do a tour guide trip for people to go and stock up on products. I’d pay to go on a short vacation and stock up on wonderful products. Many of the same products that are available in Europe or other countries sometimes have different ingredients so it might not be the price but also quality due to ingredients.
    Thank you for sharing your video.

    Wow, I enjoyed the video and seeing all the gifts can you adopt me?😜 Thanks for taking the time to show us. I had a neighbor who used to travel to Paris and she was born in Germany and she used to bring back stuff as well that she grew up with. She would say, especially the baking stuff was by far the best.🦋💕

    I searched for Biafine. That sounds good. The toothpaste sounds good too. Paradontax. I pronounce Twinings with a long i as in the way you say I. I’m Australian but my Dad was English. I can’t stand any of the Grey teas. Each to their own. I enjoyed watching you sharing your French treasures. It was a fun video. Thanks Sophia x

    I honestly didn’t think I’d be much interested in seeing things I don’t have access to, but I was so wrong. (I would still watch your video though!) This was a great and interesting video. Also, the things that did interest me were ones I may find online. So very glad I watched.😊

    This was fun to watch. I am originally from Norway and much of what is available there is available here also, but there are some nostalgic items I bring back. I always bring back brown cheese. Yes, I can get it here in the US, but the variety is so much bigger and the Norwegian ones taste better. I also bring back certain candies and some chocolates. Again, it is a nostalgic thing! I don’t make purchases to save money. Norway is expensive, though with a strong dollar, it is not as expensive anymore.
    P.S. I am going to try the toothpaste. I found it on Amazon. Thanks for a fun video!

    How strange. I think Twinings is an English brand but we can’t buy Russian Earl Grey here. I’d never even heard of it. Lady Grey is available but that has orange added,not lemon. I’m going to get some next time I’m in France.

  • @kotokoo
    @kotokoo 6 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    Toothpaste with prescription? That sounds weird. Paradontax is sold in Spain too.
    The only reason I can think for the tea is that said Russian in the name, if they sell all the other types. I love that tea but never knew its name because I bought one time loose and the next time I go to the store they didn't have it, I need to look for that tin. In a quick search, I found a dupe from Carrefour.
    Segrafedo is a good coffee.
    St Michell Galettes are delicious. The one with the face too, they remind me of the Prince (I'm guessing the name in French, in Spain are called Principe) cookies but in square.
    That kind of Suchard it isn't for sale here, maybe for Christmas.
    ¡Paloduz! I love it as a child, then you can found in candy stores, but now it's very difficult to find. I love licorice
