I was both inspired and jealofied by my sisters travels to Paris with her husband, and two daughters ages 5 and 6 this Spring. So, I did a little “please shop on my behalf” research into children’s shopping so that she might pick up some trinkets for my daughter. I was so excited by my findings that I decided to do a little post for any of you fashmoms traveling to Paris with the wee ones or perhaps just those of you traveling who may be in search of gifts. There are so many great shops and links to assist you with your travels but I’m here to add a few suggestions.

My personal fantasy is to go on a shopping spree at Bonpoint for my daughter. Granted I could do this on Madison Ave in NYC but so much more je ne sai quoi to do it in Paris. These clothes are so gorgeous, like I would wear them fab. Simple, elegant, whimsical and beautifully tailored but sooo ridiculously expensive that buying them actually is a fantasy (think $100 for a pack of 7 cotton onsies with the days of the week embroidered in french). It also seems wrong on a certain level to spend so much money on clothing that will last a year at most. But hey no judgments I would do it if I could. The good news is that they have an outlet shop in Paris in the left bank where you will probably end up at some point on your trip anyway so please, check it out for me!!
Du Pareil Au Meme carries super cute children’s clothing at reasonable prices.
Bonton is another great place for clothes and gadgets and gifts.
This mushroom is a lamp!
Tumbleweed has whimsical handmade toys and curiosities. A truly unique shop.
WoWo has super cute stuff for boys and girls.
