Gift ideas Loire-Atlantique

Here's an excellent idea in Nantes, in the Decré district: Run to Iris Galerie! Combine art galleries with art photography, for the most beautiful of all: the apple of our eye! The idea behind this concept store (which has been very successful in France), and which has now opened in Nantes, is to have your eyes photographed, and more precisely your iris! After passing through Iris Galerie's expert photographic technology, our irises are printed on quality paper like a work of art. And with all the nuances and colors of our eyes! In fact, the result of the "painting" is the result of our gaze, and it's superb. You can come and experience it on your own or with a friend's iris, as a couple, with your grandmother... The result is breathtaking: you're enchanted by the colors that unfold before your eyes, which become veritable works of art. Print options range from small to large formats, and you can print on large-format boards with high-quality supports. For as little as 49 euros, you can have a portrait of your iris printed in around 30 minutes, and leave with a "happy eye" and a smile on your face. Lwidji offers a warm welcome.

Quo Vadis is synonymous with the start of the school year. Her diaries are found in school bags and napkins in France and other European countries. For the general public or for "business gifts", the brand stands out for its creativity and manufacturing quality. It obtained the Origine France guaranteed label for its diaries in October 2013.

History. It was in 1952 that Dr. Francis-Georges Beltrami invented a new concept of time organization for his personal use, allowing him to visualize the week's appointments at a glance on a double page: the Agenda Planing®. Dr. Beltrami made his first diary by stamping the pages of a white notebook with an ink stamp representing the Agenda Planing® grid. The enthusiasm of his acquaintances and friends for his invention prompted Dr. Beltrami to take the plunge and industrialize his invention by creating Quo Vadis Publishing in Marseille. This two-page one-week agenda, structured with hours and action boxes, was the subject of numerous patent applications in France and abroad. In 1957, he created the Quo Vadis workshops for printing, binding and plastic cover manufacturing. A few years later, it was the turn of the "textagenda", now well known to schoolchildren, to be designed for the liberal professions. Quo Vadis also launched the first organizer, and the first diaries and "fancy" leather goods for the start of the school year. In 1999, he joined the paper group Exacompta-Clairefontaine.

The products. Diaries, calendars, organizers, directories, kits and luggage.

Employment. More than 250 people at its Carquefou site in Loire-Atlantique (44).

The essential gadget of the smoker at the beginning of the st century is without doubt electronic cigarette smoking: substitute for tobacco which allows the gesture to be kept but to reject the vapour which may be flavoured and contain or not of nicotine. The smoker therefore becomes "vapoteur", the concentration of carcinogenic products is less, however one cannot consider the object as a medicinal product. The size of the object varies according to the desired autonomy, and large smokers will give preference to the larger models. The shop thus proposes two types of boxes: one around the small model at 45,90 € (2 cigarettes, 1 recharge, 1 consumables) and the other around the big model at € 67,90 (2 cigarettes, 1 recharge, 1 consumables and 1 case). In addition, a wide choice of flavours is proposed, such as coolmist, American liquid for Mentholé tobacco.
