‘Ooh La La’ Box #4 Revealed
Creating beautiful boxes full of my favourite French brands is a joy that I love sharing with you all each season and today I reveal our ‘Ooh La La’ edition. Box #4 was created with joy, colour and the quintessential French sweet, the macaron, as a featured theme.
Wanting to bring you something a little different this time, our box has the essentials for creating a special ‘me’ time with the luxurious brand VOLUSPA macaron shaped candle, sweet macaron teatowel, hand drawn notecards, candies by Boissier of Paris, cosmetic bag by Château de la Motte Husson, antique Limoges porcelain plate and a fun flea market find.
VOLUSPA MACARON CANDLE
A stellar creation from master candlemaker VOLUSPA, this Milk Rose scented candle is sublime. Luxury is the hallmark of VOLUSPA with a 100% cotton wick and natural coconut wax blend holds a high percentage of fragrance and burns clean – up to 90% cleaner than a soy wax candle.
Shaped as a macaron in intricate cut, clear, heavy glass, this candle can be reused as a jewellery holder or trinket dish.
FRENCH MACARON TEATOWEL
Bringing a pop of colour into your day, this fun teatowel will make kitchen duties a little easier. Thick, absorbent and brightly coloured we knew you’d love this.
Part of French home styling is to make the everyday pretty, and to surround yourself with what you love.
CHATEAU DE LA MOTTE HUSSON VANITY BAG
Angel Strawbridge from Escape to the Château TV fame and author of A Year At The Château designed fabric based on the antique wallpapers found in their château attic, and this quality vanity case is made with these beautiful linens.
Large enough to hold all cosmetic items or intimate lingerie smalls, this vanity bag can surely be described with an ‘Ooh, la la’ !!
LIMOGES ANTIQUE PLATE
Limoges is a city in southwest-central France known for its decorated porcelain. It’s been producing earthenware since the 1730s and is still the premier manufacturing city of porcelain in France.
Each unique antique plate included in our gift box is perfect to display sweets or macarons or to hang on your wall.
SHELL SHERREE NOTECARD PACK
Inspired by Paris and its buildings and lifestyle, Shell draws from the heart bringing Paris to life with her whimsical and lighthearted artwork.
This delightful three pack of blank notecards gives you options to write a long message, or jot a quick note to family or friends.
BOISSIER CANDIES
Since 1827 Boissier of Paris has been making candies (bonbons). Flavoured blackcurrant and looking exactly like tiny, plumb blackcurrants and with a chewy, slightly gritty sensation, these candies are so French.
A great tasty inclusion in our ‘Ooh la la’ box.
MARKET FIND
Flea markets are a way of life in France, so including a small genuine market find is always the biggest surprise you’ll get in each box.
Found at Les Puces, Paris, the largest antique market in the world, each little playful cartoon card included in our box brings a little of Marché aux Puces de Saint-Ouen to you.
