Powder puffs and dusting powders can be bought individually or as part of a set.
A woman's boudoir is her bedroom--her romantic escape and her place to beautify. French boudoir products help a woman achieve her utmost femininity and enjoy her boudoir time. Romantic boudoir gifts include French lingerie or sheer peignoirs. Dusting powders with feathery puffs add a touch of French delicacy to her bathing routine, and fine French perfumes let women bask in feminine aromas.
Lingerie
Delicate lingerie is a romantic boudoir gift that's always appreciated. The key to successful lingerie buying is making sure both the size and style fit the recipient. You can ask the recipient directly of their lingerie size. Or, if the gift is a surprise, you can jot down the sizing information from a piece of lingerie you know fits well. When choosing a style, remember that you're buying a gift and the lingerie should be to her taste, not yours. Look at lingerie she already owns to figure out her likes and dislikes, noting style, color and fabric choices. If you get overwhelmed, take her favorite piece to a lingerie store and ask the staff to recommend similar choices. For a French flair, buy directly from a French line or find a piece with French-inspired accents. For example, a bias-cut nightgown is reminiscent of 1930s Parisian lingerie. Lace from Belgium and Ireland are also traditional favorites of French lingerie designers and can accent lingerie beautifully.
Peignoir
Peignoir's are feminine dressing gowns of french origin. Often made from sheer fabrics and lace, a peignoir is worn when getting ready in the morning, before bed or for romantic effect. Peignoirs are meant to be soft and delicate, so high-end materials like silk chiffon, are often used. Peignoirs are sometimes sold with matching lingerie and are available from French retailers and local ladies' shops.
Dusting Powder and Puff
Applying dusting powder after emerging from a bath is a longstanding French boudoir tradition. Delicate puffs are used to apply these sweet-smelling powders. Today, many puffs are made from synthetic materials, but traditional French powder puffs are made from down feathers can still be found. Fine powder puffs are often accented with ribbons or carved handles.
Perfume
Few things make a lady feel more feminine than adding a hint of French perfume to her skin. Paris has long been the center of the perfume industry, and a wealth of French perfumes are available from large companies and small perfumeries alike. To determine which perfume she would like best, examine her current perfume collection. Smell each and note what the main ingredients of each perfume are; use this information to guide your selection. For a feminine feel, consider floral scents like rose, violet and iris.
