Hi everyone, on the back of the other thread re problems sending parcels abroad, I am wondering if any grans living in France might be able to suggest some reputable French websites. My son and family live in France - hence this request. I’ve been having such a hard time trawling through sites for gifts. I notice some of the Etsy sellers are saying they are not able to guarantee Christmas arrivals from UK. I know I’ve left it late. Anyway, any suggestions will be most welcome - I am thinking along the lines of jewellery or knitwear. Many thanks.

I've always ordered a certain brand from a Spanish company as it was much cheaper than here. Now its an extra £30 postage and import fees to UK so probably the same sending to EU
