French-Inspired Gift Ideas!
Welcome to the all-new Rêve Bistro blog!
For Valentine's Day, we wish you, our chers clients, moments filled with all things delicious and French.
Here are a few ideas for Valentine's Day gifts we think any Francophile would love:
If you haven't secured a Rêve Bistro reservation for Valentine's Day dinner yet, we regret to inform you that we are completely booked (or "complet" as they say in France!)
But it's not too late to arrange for the next best thing: a gift certificate for dinner at Rêve on a later date. As you present this tasty treat on 14 février to your chère amour, you'll be humming that old song by famed French chanteuse, Edith Piaf: "Je ne regrette rien..."
“Je ne regrette rien...”
Just head to the gift certificate tab on our website Home page. Complete the necessary fields and VOILÁ, the gift certificate will be emailed to you très vite!
Rêve is devoted to creating French community in the East Bay. That's why we want to share one of our favorite stores with you, a place where you'll find more than a few lovely, French-inspired Valentine treasures. Through the Caldecott tunnel, across from Market Hall in Rockridge on College Avenue, you'll find Maison d'Etre (clever name, no?), a housewares and gift store par excellence.
If you're searching for that perfect Valentine's Day gift for your favorite Francophile, you'll find it here. For special occasions, we adore the Marriage Frères teas in the elegant black tins. For self-care, nothing beats the aromatherapy La Lavande soaps or the Plantes et Parfums scented room diffusers from Grasse, France.
Maison d'etre will give you these (and many more ) raisons for living well this Valentine's Day!
Aromatic La Lavande soaps are always a favorite gift for Valentine’s Day. Pick some up at Maison d’Etre in Rockridge.
