En un coup d'œil

1. For the family’s fashion victim

So she wants to stay stylish even in winter? An essential: the sailor sweater. Hit the mark with one of them from Dalmard Marine, Le Minor or Vent d’Ouest Collection. The same goes for Itoha and its super-soft polar clothing in Saint-Malo and Dinan. A pretty Amour Breton scarf round her neck… and she’s all wrapped up! For your ray of sunshine, a pair of sunglasses is no bad idea either. The Friendly Frenchy seashell range will really wow her. And staying with accessories, a big thumbs up for Atelier Sac’h’s velvet banana bags. So it’s got to shine, has it? Then go for Armeria: their jewellery, hand-set on the Crozon peninsula, is inspired by the sea.

2. For cosmetics nutcases

Gourmet fragrances, 100% natural, vegan and pleasure: we’ve fallen for Trew Cosmetic lip balms – as well as for the makeup at Eclo, just what you need to doll yourself up while thinking of the planet. Pretty packaging, magic formulas, here goes, into Santa’s sack with products by Savonnerie Cancalaise and Capitaine Cosmétiques. And for surfing on Blue Beauty, dive straight in at 1919 Bains de Mer, with their cosmetics enriched with active marine ingredients.

Ideas

The inratables of the summer, the place to be to treat yourself to a seafood platter, the best views on the GR®34, the best spots to start surfing… in short, all the good...

3. For artists and dreamers

Go for the Bol & Cie kit. A genius idea? A box containing everything you need to personalise your bowl yourself. A truly unique present! For scribblers, a fancy notebook from Bleu Coquille or Monsieur Papier should hit the bull’s eye. That’s an idea that makes even us want to write sweet nothings! Or get out your very best crayons for the Amour Breton colouring book. Inspiration always, for street art lovers: WAR! ou la ville sauvage is THE coffee-table book on a generous, committed form of urban art. Each of the Breton Bansky’s “walls” is an event. A blast!

4. For homeware addicts

A little design under the Christmas tree? No need to break the bank in order to bring in a touch of beauty. Upcycled seashells from Malàkio embellish any table. Platters, candle holders… and that presentation tray for oysters. A marvel. Another idea: for a lively little decorative item, a hand-printed linocut from Petites Quimpéroises or Morgane Chouin. And above all, you won’t want to miss out on Caroline Bizien’s coloured posters. As regards mists and candles, cocooning effect guaranteed at Granit and Wabi-Sabi: scented creations true to the tradition of fine craftsmanship, in Pays Bigouden and Saint-Pierre-Quiberon. To light up the festivities, a touch that’s all good!

5. For foodies

If there’s a sort of gift that seldom disappoints, this is certainly it. Hurray for gourmet gifts! For starters, the mixes at Zalg: hyper-original blends made with Breton seaweeds. We really go for them, including the almond and cashew mixture for aperitifs. Roellinger spices are indispensible, with their Celtic condiments, a real tribute to the region… 2 perfect ideas for sea-breezy gourmet baskets. As regards beverages, the flavours you’ll find at Inzaï Tea are to die for! And you’ll keep your strength up too with the barista infusions and blends from Gualala (oh, that little buckwheat-raspberry infusion…). And finally, for a super-great gift, handmade by real pros, there are those lovely knives and cutting boards from Planc’h… so beautiful we could’ve included them in our decorative homeware ideas!
