Get NYE Ready with French Gifts for the Champagne Enthusiast | Holiday Gift Guide

Of the many gifts that the French have bestowed upon humanity, Champagne easily tops the list—right alongside croissants and Chanel perfume. French Champagne is so special, that any bubbly bottled outside of the hallowed vineyards of Champagne, France, cannot be called Champagne and must be referred to as “sparkling wine.” Ask any sommelier!

We all know someone who lives for the bubbles—and I’m proud to say that in my circles, I am that someone. From modern marble champagne chillers to traditional engraved silver ice buckets, Gatsby-esque champagne tower coupe glasses to festive stemless styles, bubble inspired home decor and art prints to lust-worthy gifts infused with the fizz—including intoxicating candles, diffusers, gummy snacks, hair spray, breakfast jams, and even Taittinger filled truffles—Day 7 of The Chic American Holiday Gift Guide might be the most jam-packed yet.

Scroll down to shop, and add a little extra sparkle to someone’s holiday—including your own—with any of these glittery gifts. Most still ship before Christmas, and if not, don’t forget that New Year’s Eve is just around the corner!
