Top 10 Cheap Paris Souvenirs That Look Great

A Paris souvenir does not have to break the bank. At Souvenirs & Co, a large share of our orders are for items between €2 and €15. These small souvenirs are often the ones people gift the most — and the ones they keep the longest.

Here are our top 10 affordable Paris souvenirs, selected by our team after 37 years in the business. Every item is in stock in our shop, with real prices and our tips for choosing well.

1. 3D resin magnets — €2 to €5

The Paris magnet is the undisputed king of budget souvenirs. The 3D resin models reproduce the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe or Sacré-Cœur with surprising detail for their price. Lightweight, unbreakable, it slips into a pocket or an envelope. When you have twenty colleagues to treat, this is the answer.

Go for 3D resin (raised relief) rather than flat printed magnets — the quality difference is obvious, for barely any extra cost.

2. Paris keychains — €2 to €6

The souvenir keychain is our second best-selling item after magnets. Eiffel Tower, “I Love Paris” heart, Arc de Triomphe, Moulin Rouge — there is a design for every taste. Enamel-coated metal keychains last for years, unlike plastic ones that wear out quickly.

3. Mini Eiffel Tower (5–10 cm) — €2 to €6

Pocket-sized miniature Eiffel Towers are a timeless classic. In brushed metal, they fit on a desk or in the palm of your hand. The 5–10 cm format delivers good looks at a modest price — the quintessential Paris souvenir when you want to stay under €5.

4. Bracelets and small jewellery — €3 to €8

Souvenir jewellery from Paris gets worn daily. Silver-tone Eiffel Tower pendants, Parisian charm bracelets, engraved “Paris” rings: designs suit all ages. A personal gift that fits in an envelope and gets worn every day.

Check the weight before buying: even at a small price, a heavier piece will hold up better than an ultra-light one.

5. Snow globes — €5 to €10

The Parisian snow globe is a classic that every generation loves. Shake it and watch the flakes swirl around the Eiffel Tower or Sacré-Cœur. Smaller models start at €5 and make gifts that impress more than their price tag suggests. One note: on flights, pack them in checked luggage (the liquid may be confiscated in carry-on).

6. Illustrated mugs — €8 to €12

A Paris souvenir mug is the ultimate useful gift: it keeps you company at breakfast for years. Our thick ceramic models feature the Eiffel Tower, Montmartre, the metro map or the Paris skyline. For around €10, it is a gift that always hits the mark.

7. Paris t-shirts — €10 to €15

The souvenir t-shirt has improved dramatically in recent years. Our current models use combed cotton with durable prints. “I Love Paris,” stylised Eiffel Tower, “Paris is always a good idea”: for €10–€15, you get a souvenir you actually wear.

8. Parisian plush toys — €8 to €15

Bears in berets, Parisian cats, dogs with tricolour scarves: souvenir plush toys are a safe bet for children. Soft, CE-certified, machine washable. For €8 to €15, you give a travel companion that kids hold onto for years.

9. Budget-friendly Made in France souvenirs — €5 to €12

You can find Made in France souvenirs without blowing your budget. Lavender-scented soaps (€5–€8), biscuits in decorative metal tins (€8–€12), printed tea towels with French recipes (€8–€12): these items manufactured in France make authentic gifts at pocket-friendly prices. Look for the “Made in France” label on the packaging to be sure.

10. Paris landmark miniatures — €5 to €12

Beyond the Eiffel Tower, Paris landmarks come as figurines and decorative objects: Arc de Triomphe, Notre-Dame, Sacré-Cœur, Opéra Garnier. In painted resin or metal, these replicas make original gifts for architecture fans and collectors. €5 to €12 for compact sizes.

Tips to save even more

• Mix small items: a magnet + a keychain + a postcard make a charming gift set for under €10 total.
• Order online: our online store regularly offers bundle deals on small souvenirs.
• Skip the street vendors: prices are often higher than in shops, and quality rarely matches.

A great Paris souvenir is not measured by its price. These 10 items prove it: between €2 and €15, you will find quality objects that genuinely delight. We have been selling and shipping them since 1989 — we know what works.
