In our holiday gift guide, I mentioned that I’ve enjoyed my subscription to Carol Gillott’s Paris Breakfast on Etsy and thought you’d like a peek to see what kinds of beautiful art and fun items that you receive.

Carol Gillott is a watercolorist and expat living in Paris. She sends her subscribers illustrated letters with maps, business cards, or other fun paper souvenirs from the City of Light. It’s like getting a little bit of Paris in your mailbox!

It always brightened my day when I checked the mail and saw the large whimsical envelope from Paris addressed to me in Carol’s handwriting.

And I’m not the only one who enjoys these surprises in the mail…she has 596 reviews on Etsy and all give her 5 stars!

I recommend her Etsy shop if you’d like to get the Francophile in your life a unique and thoughtful gift.
