I always bring a pack of Coatina back with me. Such a treat during the winter when I'm dreaming of my next trip! For chocolate I've found the COOP store brand to be very satisfactory and I love Frey (found in Migros only), Cailler, and Villars brands. I only buy Lindt flavors I can't get in the US. My all time favorite souvenir is my Mondaine watch that reminds me of so many beautiful train rides.

Thank you soooo much for this video! I’m about to visit Switzerland in 10 days. I wrote down everything you mentioned. It is super helpful to know what to get for ourselves as well as as gifts.

Caran D’Ache!! The smell of their crayons brings me back to when we lived in Geneva when I was little. I was delighted to go to the Geneva store when we were there in 2019. The wine BTW was fantastic!

Hey guys, I’ve used a lot of your videos before we went to Switzerland last May. We absolutely loved it there and want to go back next year again. We bought so much chocolates to take back to the Philippines, I had to buy another luggage ha ha. Next time we will keep these in mind about souvenirs to take back.

I am travelling to Switzerland for the first time in September. I just recently discovered your videos, and absolutely LOVE them! They have been informative and interesting, and I now have have so many ideas, and things to try…..I can hardly wait! Thank you so much!!

Thank you guys! Great souvenirs examples.

Great video :) About the cuckoo clocks : the origin is indeed from the Bade-Wurtenberg region (Schwarzwald) and dates back to 1762. But you can actually find cuckoo clocks made in Switzerland by Lötscher, a clock manufacturer based in Glattbrugg and Brienz since 1920.

[annettemeyer]

Great ideas that I will definitely use, and presented in a very courteous manner!

[michaelohanlan]

Excellent! I am watching in preparation for my future trips. Plural!

Great list. I never would have thought of these items, especially the shirts. More cowbell!

[noorradyamdradzi]

I just came back from Switzerland and had no idea about Poya pattern, but I am glad I bought several items with the pattern as souvenirs.
