Caran d'Ache is amazing! I love their pens - they write so smoothly and have such a comfortable grip. Definitely a perfect Swiss gift that’s both practical and high-quality!
wow some unexpected and unconventional gifts i’m sure to please many! many very practical ones too 😍 good ideas and thank you for going the miles to share these good lobangs!
Where are the cheapest places in Zurich to buy souvenirs like magnets or keychains or any other small souvenirs? Are there any souvenirs for 1 Swiss Franc like keychains? Are postcards cheap there? We will be going around the Grossmunster area. Thanks for your assistance.
Warm weather travels, those chocolates will melt by the time you get home as you travel from place to place as of my recent trip a week ago😟. About the Chocolate fondu set, so after carrying it around on your trip, once at home, how many times are you going to use it anyway?
That’s why u buy the chocs only on the last leg of ur trip! For the chocolate fondue, u can use it for tea parties; for desserts with fruits, why not? It’s more practical than a cheese fondue set for sure
@@Olliechinny 😆Wife and I travel only with carry-ons and buy little stuff unique and locally made to the area. They are reminders of been there done that.
Hi Olivia! Have you tried brining cheese fondue set home? I read there are some with the cheeses inside. Apart from the weight, would it melt or spoil in the luggage on the way back home?
Hi! I have never brought cheese fondue sets back home. I don’t advise bringing cheeses back because of the risk that it may go bad in the luggage, not worth the trouble.
The new version of the "stop2go" wall-mounted Mondaine is now on the market. Now the smartphone connects to the clock via the Wi-Fi network and, finally, the red hand moves continuously and not in jerks like the original station clocks.
this is really such a useful video for people looking for interesting things to bring home for switzerland! can really tell i'm getting advice from a true swiss local :) nice shirt btw i wonder where you got that from???!!
Your video is always so easy to watch. Simple and yet so well done. 👍🏼 One question, Switzerland is my first country to visit, will all the chocolates melt if I pack in luggage and carry all around for another 10 days?
No, if you pack them safely and store them inside ur carry on luggage, they wouldn’t melt because it is not crazy hot like Singapore. You just need to be a little careful as they can be fragile. When you go around in diff accommodation maybe keep them in the fridge.
Hello Olivia, great video ! I enjoy watching your videos and the love you have for Switzerland 🇨🇭! I’m from Geneva and it’s a great place as well. Thank you for making these great videos and making me discover so many things on my own country.
HI OLIVIA. im from INDIA, and im planning to visit SWITZERLAND on november 1st for 9 days till 9th nov, but as u mentioned a no no no to come in nov, it has raised some doubts , like is it that bad weather that we cnt come , as thats the only month we get vacation in INDIA as it DIWALI festival here
Yes; it’s a perfect gift and you can actually personalise it with engravings! U will be able to bring it back home on the plane but please keep it safely in ur check in and in the original wrapped box
Interesting are those sold in the relevant stations with the logos of the railway companies (Rhätische Bahn, BLS, GoldenPass, etc.). In Zweisimmen station (where the gauge of the GoldenPass Express carriages is changed), you will find both the BLS and the GoldenPass Swiss Army knife
*well-made video, Olivia! :) I wish that site had nto boxed cheese but the cheese wedges xD anyway, thank you for sharing this so people can buy it overseas. --Linda*
Haha thanks Linda! I know u have been looking for Swiss cheese exports for the longest time, will keep my eyes peeled if I ever find any shop doing shipping for cheese and let you know!
Hi, the wool slippers probably yes I can find them in traditional souvenir shops as well. As for the skincare products, I have not seen them specifically in any of the departmental stores.
Hi, I am traveling with me (very elderly) mom and we can't walk for hours or do any trekking or anything like that. So scenery it's very important, I will rent a car and I would love to include some train (even if it's an excursion within a village) so we can enjoy the experience of great views (besides the ones from the car). We will be arriving from Portugal and we would like to see Zurich, Lucerne, Interlaken, Grindelwald, Spiez, Zermatt, , Montreux, Neuchâtel, returning to Zurich (so I can return the car). Why is the map not showing me the driving route from Neuchâtel to Zurich? instead is making me go back down and up
Please stay tuned. I have content coming up targeted for Swiss expats, specially related to job hunting, will do abit more research on health insurance before I talk about it! Do support with a subscribe 😘🙏
La hija de Wachi, la Dra. Luna Lumbe, compró 3 relojes de pulsera Mondaine en Poschiavo: a los pocos meses dejaron de funcionar correctamente, a pesar de no regalarlos. Incluso si están hechos en Suiza | Los Swiss Made me parecen inodoros de motor. Prefiero un vulgar Swatch de 50 Eur
Por otro lado, el reloj de pared Mondaine SBB de 40 cm, Made in China, funciona perfectamente. Es realmente curioso que un reloj de fabricación china funcione mucho mejor que un reloj suizo de la misma marca.
Yes! Frey chocolates from Migros are surprisingly good and value for money 😋 please subscribe to the channel if you have not done so alr! It would be so helpful.

Migros and coop alr sell plenty of nice souvenirs
@hinny Hi! We were looking for 1 swiss franc souvenirs if possible. How much are postcards there? Thanks for your reply.

Thank you so much for your support, it means the 🌎 to me! ❤️
Hi Olivia, where to get the chocolate fondue set?. I’m in Zurich now. Didn’t see it in Dener Express.
Hi Olivia! Have you tried brining cheese fondue set home? I read there are some with the cheeses inside. Apart from the weight, would it melt or spoil in the luggage on the way back home?
Hi! I have never brought cheese fondue sets back home. I don’t advise bringing cheeses back because of the risk that it may go bad in the luggage, not worth the trouble.
Wait they don't sell foundu sets in other countries?!
That hurts
Where do I get Mondaine watch in zurich Switzerland?
Hi, may I know in which store we can get chocolate fondue set ?
Does the chocolate melt easily? Will be travelling down to Italy before heading back to SEA
Hi Olivia, any recommendation for branded 2nd hand shopping in Switzerland eg Hermes,LV etc…
Hi, no unfortunately! I have not done any 2nd hand shopping in Switzerland before

Thank you fellow Swiss expat! 😊
@@Olliechinny Thank you 😊 But I am not an expat ! I’m Swiss from Geneva ! 😉
Make a note impossible to find ! Only in tourist souvenir stores …. Maybe if they carry . We went to 5 in Zurich

Did you decide to go? Let us know how you go
Love from india ❤
would you recommend a Swiss army knife? or would I not be able to take it home on the plane?
Yes; it’s a perfect gift and you can actually personalise it with engravings! U will be able to bring it back home on the plane but please keep it safely in ur check in and in the original wrapped box

Hi, nice video and great introductions! Are we able to buy wool slippers and the skincare pdts in physical shops in cities?
Hi, the wool slippers probably yes I can find them in traditional souvenir shops as well. As for the skincare products, I have not seen them specifically in any of the departmental stores.
Great
Careful. Most Kuhn Rikon products are made in China. I think only their topline, very expensive pans are actually made in Switzerland.
Where to buy mondaine
?
At any SBB retail shops, major train stations have them
