gift ideas for best friend leaving image
Kristina
Two of my friends are going on a 2 month french exchange. What is a good gift idea to give them before they leave?Please Help! Thanks :)
Answer
If your friends are going to Paris for the exchange, consider getting this book - The Patisseries of Paris (http://www.amazon.com/Patisseries-Paris-Chocolatiers-Salons-Parlors/dp/1892145529 ) - it is essentially an address book for the best bakeries, patissiers, chocolatiers, ice cream parlors and tea salons in Paris. This way they can do some food exploration in the city ;)
Still in keeping with Paris as destination, you can also get Moleskine of Paris (http://www.moleskines.com/klcn001-pa.html ) which not only works great as a note book (it's small so it's easy to carry), it has a map of the city center area, the metro/RER network map, spaces to write down addresses to go for good food, to shop, to see small gigs etc.
Another gift alternative for someone in Paris would be a Paris Museum Pass (http://www.parismuseumpass.com/en/home.php ). As they can be used only on consecutive days and your friends on exchange will probably be attending classes etc, they would have only free time at weekends? If so, you can get 2-days PMP and they can plan how to utilise it to the fullest, visiting some of the biggest sites of attractions in Paris.
If your friends like to read and wouldn't mind some light hearted anecdotes, check out the books by Stephen Clarke such as "A Year in the Merde" (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Year-Merde-Stephen-Clarke/dp/0552772968/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1234035329&sr=1-4 ) which is very entertaining with quite a grain of truth in them. He also has a few other books which kinda continue on with the theme etc, but I wouldn't advise reading them back to back. It's all done quite tongue-in-cheek that even my French friends who read it laughed over it.
If books are not quite the thing, how about getting an event ticket in France that you think they would like? There are lots of concerts, opera, outdoor performances, sports, dance shows etc and you can look for tickets on FNAC (http://www.fnacspectacles.com/ )
I hope some of the ideas above helped but if you have anything more specific, e.g. where they will be when they go for the exchange, when will they be in France, if you have specific gift budget amount or even where you are from etc, that may help in trying to come up with (hopefully) even better ideas.

I don't want to get her a mug, or a picture frame.. I thought about creating a gift basket, but I am not sure what all to put in it.. She is taking a job at a college, as a placement coordinator so I don't know if I should incorporate that somehow into the gift... What do you guys think?
She already got a plaque from the company, and a bottle of wine and cheese and crackers from the owners.. We already have each others numbers and things as well!
Answer
You should get her an edible arrangement.. everyone loves em' especially when you add chocolate ;)
