Added the beloved day of December 17, 2008

Even though you may not understand a bon or a jour of French, you can easily grasp the universal language of pretty at one of our favorite European toy suppliers: Fnac Éveil & Jeux.

We absolutely adore their fancifully fun jeux (games) and candylandishly colorful jouets (toys) for the younger tots. Most of their collections focus on early learning and feature delightfully high-quality play sets, the kinds of precious prettiments that aren't readily available in the States unless you go to artists, collectors or boutique shops.

Although we're thousands of miles away -- and realize that in France it's probably par for the course in prettiment -- we'd recommend you take a peep at their site if you're committed to finding particularly fantabulous gifts to stand out under the Christmas tree. We gathered a few of our faves below!
