Whether you're well ahead of the game, a little behind schedule or just looking for something original, Samaritaine has an endless list of ideas that are sure to make a statement under the Christmas tree.

If You're a Super-Organized Shopper

If you adore the holiday season and delight in the thought of leaving gifts under the tree, it's never too soon to start making your list! While listening to All I Want For Christmas on repeat all year round, set aside a pair of Paris Texas boots to put a spring in the step of your nearest and dearest, a dreamy JEM ring to fantasize about at any time of day or some Koon accessories to stay wrapped up and cozy this winter. A plush Jellycat yule log is a treat that looks good enough to eat, while the Samaritaine-exclusive Holiday Collection set from Manucurist or a little something from Victoria Beckham Beauty are the perfect excuse for some pampering for months to come. Alternatively, why not give the gift of time with an Oris watch in exquisite hues?

If You've Left It to the Last Minute

Almost time for Christmas dinner and you still haven't done your wrapping? Not to worry: Samaritaine has you covered with a whole host of suggestions for even the tardiest of Christmas shoppers. Head to the store on December 23 to grab a crowd-pleasing Jacquemus sweater, a Longines watch with timeless style and peerless technical precision, or a delicately fragranced Fragonard candle sure to delight any lucky recipient. There's also the Samaritaine Christmas bauble—just what the tree needed—or some Jean Rousseau cufflinks. A home run! For foodies, the Le Food Trip Paris guidebook also delivers some of the French capital's best-kept culinary secrets.

If You Just Can't Decide

If hesitation is your specialist subject, put your trust in Samaritaine's carefully curated selection. It's impossible to go wrong with delicious Cartwright & Butler treats to share, a gorgeous Vever ring, Maison Flamel Biphasé H2O makeup remover, an elegant and cheerful Isaure Atelier silk scarf or a pair of unique yet ultra-trendy Delarge glasses. Even the most indecisive of gift givers are sure to make everyone happy with a Cinq Mondes spa treatment or a Samaritaine gift card for an amount of your choice, available in-store and online. A personal gift with endless possibilities.

If You're One of a Kind

Sometimes you want to march to the beat of your own drum, and that's OK. The best surprises often come about by accident! So, be daring this year with bold and surprising gifts, like a croissant-shaped lamp designed by Yukiko Morita, a KidSuper jacket to stand out from the crowd, an exceptional piece of jewelry from Leïla Buecher or a completely out-there Jellycat soft toy in the shape of an avocado. Well, why not? Follow your own path with a pair of HOKA sneakers with a contemporary design, innovative beauty products from Humanrace or extravagant ones from Martine Cosmetics like the Petite Tchoin eyeshadow palette… or even a Maude personal massager. Now that's sure to spark some interesting conversations around the dinner table!

Still in need of inspiration? Head to the Christmas market on the ground floor of the department store, where a myriad of items are just waiting to be gifted.
