Suggestions
Blades : Gillette Bleues Extra easily found in any supermarket for between 1.5 and 2 euros.
Soap : Martin de Candre, I think other good French soap (L'Occitane, Institut Karité can be found in the US).
Weston, Aubercy shoes
and many other things, what do you like ?"Elle est où la poulette ?"

The Eiffel Tower? But I don't think you'll make it past French customs if you try to bring it back to the States with you.

Truffle season started a few days ago. How about a nice fat truffle for the holidays? About 1000 euros per kilo.
