OK kids (and I mean that in the nicest way possible) -- I'll be in Paris for 3 days and would like to pick up some gifts for my 20 year old daughter and 15 year old son. Suggestions?

Daughter likes perfume/cosmetics/girly things: what do young French/European women that age wear these days? (Please don't say 'body shop' - we have that here in the US.) Also - any fun trendy bags/sweaters/scarves etc. you can suggest?

Son likes European sports cars and interested in european football (soccer to us yanks) : can you think of anything related to that? Even if I could afford a Lamborghini it'd be hard to check it on the plane...

Thanks in advance

Posters or pseudo lithograph, to fit your backpack or siutcase.
eek! He said the S word!
Put them between pieces of cardboard, cut to fit.
Cheap (maybe a "set" your pick), and they travel well.

I am 20 and I brought back a pashmina/scarf from London, I absolutely love it and I know you can get them in Paris as well. A friend of mine bought a great painting from an artist outside the Musee D'Orsay while we were there. The artist put it in a tube and it looks great framed.

As for the son, I don't know. They have "soccer" jerseys all over.

Good luck!
