Gift card for use in France

I was given a Carte Cadeau once by my U3A students and it covered loads of shops including Maisons du Monde, Truffaut and FNAC.

When my son lived in France I bought him gifts from Amazon.com. It should be easy enough to send a gift card.

Thanks, Nannarose, for the idea and I'll try to remember to let you know what I end up doing!

Joseann Fnac was recommended by another friend. Thanks for the other ideas; Truffaut might be especially appropriate.

Ooo yes, and I just thought of Maisons du Monde to shop for their new home.
And Truffaut garden shops.

I'm here now, Fnac-Darty definitely have a gift card you can use in store.
Also try Galeries Lafayette and Printemps. Let me know if you want me to ask. If you and I knew each other in real life I could purchase it for you, but a bit risky otherwise. 💸

I've found it difficult as well, but did this:
I ordered a pre-paid card (I used Travel Money Card) in my name and loaded it with euros. It comes with a PIN that you can give them (you can alter it to the date of the leaving party - I did it to a birthday)
They can then spend it on anything.

PS: will follow this with interest as I couldn't sort Amazon at all, and would like to for the future.

Have you thought of Amazon just had a quick look and came up with this.

Can you buy Amazon gift cards in different currency?
You can buy Amazon gift cards in any major currency. To do so, use the currency converter option at checkout.

If you know where they are moving to you could check out
Which major retailers are close by and contact them by email to buy a carte cadeau.

Yes, I've done that but it's difficult to find one that fits the criteria.

I just wondered if any Gran could advise.

There's quite a lot of information online. I just typed in Can I use a gift card in France.
