LAST MINUTE CHRISTMAS GIFTS AND GIVE-AWAYS – GENEVA 

by Chené Koscielny

If you haven’t quite sorted your gifts yet and you worry you’ll miss the Amazon cut-off dates for delivery before 25th December, we’ve got a few suggestions for special and unusual last minute gifts from local providers that will go down well.

ONLINE FRENCH CLASSES – Pretaparler.ch

This is a great gift for someone who is serious about learning the language, but who doesn’t have time for group sessions. No time is wasted here, as you simply switch on your computer and dial into the Zoom conference call. Your class will be recorded and sent to you, along with notes typed up by the teacher during the class – and visible on screen.

We love it – it’s focused, very effective and easy to fit into a busy schedule.

THE COST

The cost depends on the programme you choose, but you’re looking at around CHF90 per class, with access to the online learning platform and webinars. This is not cheap, but it’s more effective than some of the classes we’d wasted time and money on previously.

Read our full review here for more information. Pretaparler.ch is doing Christmas and New Year’s Eve promotions, so don’t miss out

MORE INFO

https://pretaparler.ch/

CHRISTMAS GIVE-AWAY

On the 17th December we’ll be giving away 5 private online French lessons with a super prof in collaboration with pretaparler.ch.

For more info – subscribe to our newsletter and head over to our Facebook or Instagram pages on the 17th December.

A BOX OF YUMMY HOMEMADE COOKIES – Michael’s Cookies 

Christmas shopping Geneva 2019

A box of deliciously, fresh homemade cookies with surprising flavours and generous chunks of chocolate is a great treat to take along to someone’s house this time of year or to offer a sweet-toothed friend.

If you don’t know Michael’s Cookies – this is as far as we are aware the only exclusive cookie shop in Geneva, delivering and selling homemade cookies from his shop at number 10 Rue Leschot.

Being truly Swiss, Michael appreciates quality and he saw a gap in the local market for quality cookies made from local ingredients. .

Our favourite is the white chocolate and cranberries cookie or the three chocolates cookie. The lemon cookie is made with lemon zest and juice, giving it extra softness and a delicate taste.

Michael launched four new flavours during 2019, including oatmeal and raisins, white chocolate and coconut, dark chocolate and walnuts and the trendy matcha tea cookie!

Watch out for his new flavours and concepts early in 2020.

Cookies without gluten are also available and cookies can either be bought directly from the shop or delivered to your home (delivery fee between CHF10-20 depending on where you live).

The COST: CHF2 per cookie

MORE INFO AND ORDERS

https://www.michaels-cookies.ch/

 

CHRISTMAS GIVE-AWAY

From the 11th to 13th of December, we’ll be giving away a box of 25 cookies worth CHF50. 

For more info – subscribe to our newsletter and head over to our Facebook or Instagram pages on the 17th December.

A FACIAL EXPERIENCE – Vivienne Beauté

If you’re looking for something for a friend who loves pampering, we recommend a facial experience at Vivienne’s beauty salon in Eaux-Vives.

The owner, Martina, gives a very different facial – with extractions, careful diagnosis to help solve skin issues and a relaxing and deep face (and hand!) massage. The whole experience takes around an hour and a half and it is simply divine.

PLEASE note the facial voucher will only be usable Monday to Friday, not Saturday.

THE COST

The facial experience costs CHF150 and lasts one and a half hours.

Read our previous review about The facial that is not just a facial.

MORE INFO

CHRISTMAS GIVE-AWAY

To stand a chance to win a facial experience worth CHF150 in the week starting December16th, subscribe to our newsletter and head over to our Facebook or Instagram pages on the 17th December.

 A MICHELIN-STAR MEAL – LE FLACON, CAROUGE

christmas shopping geneva 2019

Eating is one of our passions and this is a great gift for the foodie in your life. Lunch at a Michelin-starred restaurant. We love Le Flacon in Carouge, with French Chef Yoann Caloué, who offers a very affordable, yet exquisitely creative and tasty menu – in a lovely atmosphere – not annoyingly over-attentive and stuffy.

Gift vouchers for Flacon menu (CHF85 for four courses), Ivresse menu (CHF115 for a 7-course menu) or a value of your choice are sold at the restaurant and also online.

Read our previous review of Le Flacon here.

FUN CHRISTMAS DONUTS – Loops and Coffee

If you’re looking for a fun gift or treat this festive season, the Christmas donuts at Loops & Coffee donut shop in Plainpalais – is a feast for the eye.

MINI-GOLF AND COCKTAILS – Rollers mini-golf bar 

How about a fun session of mini-golf with cocktails as a gift for a friend or teenage cousin? The idea of mixing mini-golf (broken windmills, seaside holidays) and cocktails (gin-laced party nights) would never have occurred to us. But after trying out Rollers, the first in-door mini-golf cocktail bar in Geneva and Switzerland, we believe this is the best idea since the creation of Caipirinha!

Read our full review here. 

COST

For one player – expect to pay CHF20 for 12 holes.
Playing the course takes around 45 minutes.

4 Ruelle des Templiers, Eaux Vives.
