Every year it’s the same. Here you are, shopping for Christmas gifts for your sister’s noisy children, your rebellious nephew, uncles, aunts, your grandfather, that sister-in-law you can’t ignore… and you don’t you don’t have the slightest idea. You then wander around the stores for hours without finding anything, ending up at… Fnac.
HAS 20 minutes, we love the Christmas spirit and we are logical. So we’re going to save you time (you can start thinking about the table plan…) and take you straight to Fnac, just to fill your basket in an hour max without breaking your head.
For Grandpa and/or Grandma
Grandma/Grandpa is from the older generation, and doesn’t always know what you like… Except that today, it’s you who must please him. If he/she is passionate about music or films, opt for a collector’s edition steelbook “Oppenheimer” or “The Rolling Stones” (count 35 euros).
Is she/he more of a fan of reading? The novel under the tree should work. We advise you Watch over her, by Jean-Baptiste Andrea (editions L’Iconoclaste, 22.50 euros). A love story during the time of fascism in Italy, awarded the 2023 Goncourt Prize. Low risk taking.
For Hugo, the teenager you see without seeing him
When you are there, he is in his room. And when he’s there, he’s on social media. It’s not always easy to hit the mark with the teenager in the family. One thing is certain, you need a trendy and/or practical gift.
Just to leave it in its bubble, opt for the Arceau JBL Tune 500 headphones (18.95 euros). Not convinced… Why not get him a manga? Shōnen tackle all types of themes (religion, horror, fantasy, love/friendship, science fiction, etc.), and there is definitely a subject in the bunch that will make him smile. As we are nice, we gave you a little top 3: Dragon Ball, One Piece and finally, the essential Naruto. (At 6.99 euros per copy).
For your brother’s lovely children (while you don’t have any)
Adults will immediately notice your inexperience, and you want to avoid the glare from your sister? You can opt for Funko Pop, these figurines with a big head available in many pop culture universes (cinema, animation, series, video games). Harry Potter, Spiderman, One Piece, Pikachu… It should work (for around fifteen euros).
For the little ones who love noise (you know that), the Tut Tut Bolides from Vtech trigger 3 songs, alone or on the track. Not sure that the gift will be unanimous among young parents, but too bad (10 euros per car).
For Valentine, your vegan sister-in-law
Try to get it right because in six months, your brother will probably do it too. Why not the comic strip by journalist and environmental activist Hugo Clément on the animal cause? The Vaquita theorem is 21.90 euros.
For Roger, your uncle who makes political-problematic jokes
For your uncle who makes jokes political-problematic every year, with his glass of wine in hand, avoid buying him books who could reinforce his ideas.
A set of wine accessories * (allow 30 euros) will do the trick, so as not to upset anyone.
* Alcohol is dangerous for your health, consume in moderation
