I love the area at the Champs, not just for shopping but also to get socialised, to walk up and down the Boulevard, find the little secrets of the narrow streets crossing the Champs and mostly as getting tired to grab a chair on a cafe and sip a perfect caffee as relaxing ...
The Avenue des Champs-Élysées is a Boulevard in Paris with its cinemas, cafés, luxury specialty shops and clipped horse-chestnut trees. The Avenue des Champs-Élysées is one of the most famous streets and one of the most expensive strips of real estate in the world.
Several French monuments are also on the street including the Arc de Triomphe and the Place de la Concorde. The name is French for Elysian Fields the place of the blessed dead in Greek mythology. The Avenue des Champs-Élysées is known as "The most beautiful avenue in the world", La plus belle avenue du monde in French.
What to buy: All kind of branded shops, clothes, shoes, leather wear, jewelry, watches, as said in brief, all kind of luxury money can buy .... :)
What to pay: A lot ...

Champs Elysees is a serious destination for style-conscious shopping, although the streets off the Champs Elysees running off Avenue Montaigne (with a few notable exceptions) is the place to find haute couture these days - Cartier and Vuitton may have flagships on the Champs Elyees, but check out Vuitton on Avenue George V if you want to be treated more as a customer than a tourist. Gaultier, Hermes, Chanel, Dior along with any other houses of style are to be found in the triangle of George V, Elysees and Montaigne. Plus many of the best restaurants and cafes as well as stylish hotels.
What to pay: A fortune :)

I wouldnt exactly say that this is the place to go to. Yes, there are many high end stores here but everything is so much more expensiveon Champ Elysees. We walked around, looked at stuff but really didnt buy anything. When we dd buy something around here we usually found it cheaper somewhere else.
What to buy: If you dont mind paying ridiculously high prices there are many high end stores here. Just remember the tax is higher here.

What to buy: Enjoy window shopping and stop in at some of the auto showrooms along the Champs Elysées. Plenty of clothing stores, jewelry stores, and souvenir shops as well. Stop for a snack or drink at one of the outdoor cafes or bakeries and enjoy people watching.

Shop along the Champs Elysees and see familiar stores such as Sephora and Disney- they are larger than life. Buy perfume. However, plan on spending a lot of money! Note: We found the same gifts on offered on shops on the Champs-Élysées for significantly cheaper prices at vendors on the smaller streets.

The famed Avenue des Champs-Elysees is known for its high-end stores. Of course, browsing is free. I just like strolling up and down, looking in the windows, and imagining having the money to buy something here. It's a good place to watch people and snap photos.
What to buy: The best and priciest items are all here.
What to pay: If you need to ask, then it's too much.

The Peugeot store is a car lovers dream. Not only is it filled with amazing cars (both current and historical race automobiles,) but also a ton of gifts at pretty reasonable prices.
What to buy: Everything from key fobs to t-shirts!! It probably sounds crazy, but seriously, this store can be a blessing for those of us who need to purchase something for that "hard to buy for man" in our lives. Most of the items come with a great Peugeot bag and a brochure. Throw a business card into the bag and it's a perfect gift!
What to pay: About average for a tourist type location. I saw several key fobs for about 3 Euro.
