Every holiday season brings up the same question: how can we find out-of-the-ordinary gifts for our loved ones? This year, let’s make a positive impact by supporting local know-how! For Christmas 2025, let’s leave the e-commerce giants behind and focus on treasures made in Bordeaux and the Gironde. Don’t wait to discover our guide to gift ideas from Gironde brands!
Parfumens, a chic, artisanal perfume
A key gift for the festive season, perfume is on everyone’s shelves (and commercials). Parfumens is a Bordeaux-based brand of artisan perfumes lovingly crafted from natural, organic and vegan products. Body fragrances, scented candles or diffusers carefully crafted to recreate comforting, stimulating or relaxing worlds.
Maison Mallow, fashion and home accessories Made in Bordeaux
Eager to return to the South-West and support local craftsmanship, Lucile Bex founded Maison Mallow in Bordeaux in 2021. Her approach is singular: she uses natural materials and integrates upcycling to create sustainable and unique products. Bags, wallets, cushions and toiletry bags are all timeless with a retro touch that hit the mark every time.
Wine tasting and estate visits in the Médoc
To delight wine lovers and gift experience enthusiasts, this tour organized by the Bordeaux Tourist Officeis ideal. The program includes visits to two “grand cru” châteaux, an insight into the history and production processes of each estate, and tastings guided by a professional.
Comptoir de Florie, handcrafted jewelry from a Gironde workshop
Imagined and created by Florie in her Gironde workshop, Comptoir de Florie jewelry combines simplicity and originality. A lovely brand that puts a premium on handcrafting in France and on the detail of each piece. Necklaces, bracelets, earrings, rings… A gift as delicate as it is original to slip under the tree.
Les Petits Gobelets hand-turned in Bordeaux
Personalized gifts yes, and made in Bordeaux even more so! With this adorable brand, there’s no fuss and it’s all in the name: minimalist porcelain tumblers handcrafted with care by Karine. Personalized and customizable hot beverage cups, bowls, bowls or ramekins.
Candlelight, a sparkling concert
Candlelight promises an extraordinary musical experience, thanks to a new genre of candlelight concerts in exceptional venues such as Bordeaux’s InterContinental and Château Descas! Mozart, Vivaldi, but also tributes to Daft Punk, Queen, Coldplay or the greatest soundtrack composers. Enough to make your most music-loving friends and family revisit their classics!
L’atelier Bière, the frothy Christmas gift
We’re not talking about the classic, boring bubble bath, but a workshop where you can learn how to brew your own craft beer, just like Walter White in Breaking Bad. L’atelier bière offers gift cards : you can give a workshop without pressure (well, yes, but you get the idea)!
Gemografic, a precious and unique jewel
Bordeaux-based start-up Gemografic offers you the chance to give a piece of jewelry created from a memory and a unique moment. For example, you can create a piece of jewelry from precise GPS coordinates engraved using Wander’s cartographic design. An ultra-personal gift that will remain engraved in the memory of the lucky recipient.
