Need gift ideas from France or Germany

My cousin is going to Europe this weekend and asked me what I wanted her to bring back for me.
Any suggestions?

I wish, but she's only 17 and her going on a school trip.

How expensive are perfume and handbags in Paris?

Same thing as here or even more expensive because of the taxes.

- Eiffel towel souvenir
- T-shirt
- Paris souvenir
- Books in French (I love the old books sold on the side of the river)

That's if the trip is in Paris.

Where in France? Paris?

If she's going to the South of France (Provence) have her pick you up something made with lavender. You can find some great handmade soaps at the markets. You can also get gorgeous colorful Provencal linens (similar to what you can buy at Williams Sonoma but better!)

If she's going to Paris, have her bring back a small painting from one of the local street artists on the Seine or by the Eiffel Tower. Paris is really touristy so finding something unique (besides couture handbags or a Hermès scarf) will be difficult.
