Paris Haul

Thursday, 13 August 2015
Hey guys,
I was lucky enough to be surprised with a trip to Paris as an early 18th birthday present (my birthday isn't until November but I'll be too busy with school to go then).

I will be uploading some of my photographs from the trip but until then, I thought I would do a Paris haul. Surprisingly I didn't buy too much. I spent most of the trip sightseeing so there wasn't much time for shopping. I also only had hand luggage so I couldn't buy too much.

The first few things I bought were from Disneyland.



The first thing I picked up was a cute little pen. I think this will look so cute to write with and I did need a new pen for school. I just was too adorable to leave there. Plus it was only 4 euro.



This photo album is just so cute. I feel like people don't print off enough photos anymore and I thought it would be nice to have an album with all my Paris photos in them. This cost 17 or 18 euro I believe. Luckily they had an offer that when you spent over 20 euro, you got it for 9 euro (My mam spent over 20 euro so she kindly added it to her stuff).


These little medallions (I think that's what you call them) are a great memento from my trip. The one on the left was bought in Disneyland from a little machine and it cost 2 euro. I love how it says 2015 on it.
The one on the right is from the Eiffel Tower or the Tour Eiffel as it's known as in Paris. I bought this when I climbed up (yes I did say climbed) the Eiffel Tower. It was bought in the gift shop on the first floor and it cost 2.50.


While in the Eiffel Tower gift shop, I bought this little wristband. It's quite skinny which I like and it cost 2 euro. It came in other colours but my favourite was the pink.



All around the tourist areas of Paris, there were people selling things on the streets. I saw this little statue of the Eiffel Tower and instantly wanted it. I had seen it in the Eiffel Tower gift shop for 16 euro but I knew I would get it cheaper on the streets. I ended up buying this for 5 euro which I think is a bargain! They did have a slightly bigger one which I would have loved but it wouldn't have fit in my suitcase.


On our last day we did a small bit of shopping on the Champs Élysées (by shopping I mean mainly window shopping – it is filled with luxury shops like Louis Vuitton, Cartier, numerous car shops and Swarovski). Along the street there were little small independent shops selling newspapers, magazines and souvenirs. I saw this gorgeous little necklace and had it buy it. It was only 5 euro and I’ve already gotten so many compliments for it.


In Charles De Gaulle airport, I bought this pack of Kinder Buenos. I love these so much and hadn't had any in a few months. I think this cost around 7 euro. 


If you've read my post about my Beauty Wishlist (linked here) you'll know I have been lusting after the Core Collection for a while. I bought these from the inflight duty free. They are usually around 28 euro but I got them for 20 euro. 

I hope you enjoyed seeing every I bought in Paris. Even though it wasn't a lot, I'm really happy with everything I bought. 

Let me know if you've ever been to Paris and your opinion!
