Christmas Gifts in French

December has come up and hit us out of nowhere and thus the scramble for non-dull gift ideas begins. This Christmas, why not spread the Franco-cinephile cheer and get a gift membership to one of these cinema providers, a tell all book, or a goody that celebrates their favorite French character!
 
Leave the detective work to us and scroll down for a choice that will be the envy of everyone at that Christmas social, office holiday party, and all those at Grandma's house this year...
