Every year, I find it a bit tricky to choose the perfect gift for the men in my life—whether it’s a husband, brother, dad, uncle, grandpa, or even a son. They always seem to have everything! So, consider yourself lucky: I’ve done the legwork for you, combing through hundreds of sites and selecting favorites from my go-to French brands to bring you 30 truly thoughtful gift ideas. From timeless leather accessories to classic French grooming essentials, each pick brings a touch of Parisian charm—and has my partner’s personal seal of approval ;)! I hope this guide makes your holiday shopping a little easier and a lot more enjoyable.

Bonjour, I’m Léonce—though my real name is Mathilde Pittet. I’m a French writer and creator offering a curated perspective on fashion, beauty, and lifestyle—an ode to le chic à la française. Inspired by my heritage and a passion for authenticity, my collections, intimate letters, and artful stories invite aesthetes into a world of beauty and everyday poetry. Named after my grandmother, Léonce Chenal is my personal ode to living beautifully. I'm delighted to have you join me on this journey.
