Gift ideas Rouen

This Japanese art gallery succeeds in bringing the Land of the Rising Sun to Rouen Cathedral. Isabelle and Valérie are on hand to show you their many treasures. A bookshop area offers an overview of literature past and present, with books dedicated to Japan. But the store's specialty remains prints, emblematic of Japanese culture. Uchiwa is committed to making these works accessible through its high-quality prints. Japan will continue to fascinate you.

Here's a beautiful address to visit for a thousand reasons. The concept? A theme ("solar", "ok boomer", "urban beauty") every three months, reflected in objects and items for sale: clothes, candles, perfumes, plants, lamps, vases, notebooks, belts and bow ties... and books. Tables await you for a cup of tea, or to read the newspaper, after taking a look - or more - at the current art exhibition. You'll be greeted with a smile... and shown to the door!

At the corner of rue Saint-Lô and rue Percière, this chic boutique is a mine for lovers of beautiful office objects. You'll find magnificent pens from prestigious brands (Mont Blanc, Cross, Dupont, Waterman, Parker, Pilot or Pelikan), a beautiful range of leather goods (computer bags, wallets, purses, cigarette cases or kits), as well as all the work accessories and many gift ideas (clock radios, lighters or Faber-Castel pencil cases). A warm welcome and sound advice will help you make the right choice. A place where people come back from generation to generation to offer objects that last.

Maison Blondie is the home of fine objects. Three times a year, a new collection is presented, featuring creations by some thirty talented men and women. And you'll find absolutely everything you need for everyday life: ceramics, candleholders, jewelry, bags and wallets, accessories, illustrations, cushions, stationery... But also a lovely selection of vintage furniture from the 1950s to the 1970s... And it's all sustainable! A beautiful address. And for the curious, the Instagram account lists the name of each designer.

This shop is entirely dedicated to the world of Harry Potter. You will find there absolutely all the objects related to the famous saga created by J. K. Rowling: figurines, mugs, magic wands, Bellatrix Lestrange's dagger, Hermione's skirt, chess sets, pop of patronus, playing cards, advent calendars with jewels and other glass balls... Of course, there are also the books, the original texts, but also declined in pop up, illustrated, guides... In short, what more can be said except that the address is very successful!

In the middle of the Rue du Gros-Horloge, the most popular shopping street in the city centre, you can find the most sun and good mood. Lush, it's a store where colours and scents come together. Soap, masks, cosmetics of all kinds, this is where you must come to take care of yourself and have fun while respecting the environment. Handmade cosmetics, displays that make you want to eat, colours galore… Not forgetting that Lush is a committed brand that fights daily to offer ethical products, not tested on animals and based on natural ingredients. Come on, it's Lush we have to go!

The sign is a nod to two personalities associated with the city: Flaubert and de Beauvoir. It's here that you'll find everything you need to create beautiful souvenirs of Rouen, from local creations. While the store hosts Norman artisans and producers (kits, cider, beer, juices, cosmetics, groceries, jewelry), it also offers its own creations: posters, greeting cards, as well as fun accessories: calendars, tote-bags, notebooks, pouches, magnets, stickers, bookmarks and badges.

Ever heard of upcycling? No ? Well, you're about to discover the concept in this pretty, colorful boutique on the edge of the antique district. Created by the Artecrea collective, the shop sells objects created by a number of local designers, all driven by an eco-citizen philosophy. You'll have a choice of pretty objects made from recycled or organic materials, or certified zero-waste: bags, jewelry or tote bags. You'll come for the permanent designers, you'll come back for the guests.
