This shop is a lifesaver when it comes to gift buying. If you’ve run out of ideas, then head here for inspiration and you’ll likely come out with an original present and a few items for yourself that you never knew you wanted but couldn’t resist. Displayed on two levels, the shop is crammed with trinkets and gadgets covering most aspects of life, from the useful to the faintly ridiculous. Find toys, games and gifts for children, colourful Pylon kitchen accessories, mugs and teapots, puzzles, cards, quirky storage boxes and a small range of typically Swiss gifts (fondue sets, shot glasses with Swiss motifs). If you ever wanted a mug boasting a picture of a pug in a chef’s hat, a woollen animal head to display on your wall or a hot plate in the shape of a snake, this is your place. There’s another branch in Rue de l’Ale.
