Hi,

I would like to get some ideas of gifts that I can order over the net
for delivery within switzerland to the visitor at one of the hotels.

The party in question is a lady and the theme is romantic. :-)

Switzerland is famous for its fine chocolates. Does the lady enjoy sweets?

Hi again Pinkfreud, glad to see you're participating in one of my questions. :-)

The city, to be more specific, is Montreux.  Chocolates, umm... if
they're exceptional .. that might be very suitable.

Might consider good Lavender colored items, perhaps skiing gloves or a
nice and warm head cover/hat for skiing?

Here's a place that offers next-day delivery of gifts in Europe. You
might browse through and see whether anything catches your eye:

If the lady likes the scent of lavender, as well as the color, she
might find this gift very pleasant:

Neuhaus candies are delectable. I have tried the "Caprice" by Neuhaus.
Very expensive, but incredibly delicious:

Hi,

That's going in the right direction and I would appreciate more
choices and ideas if you can?

I am hoping that some of my colleagues who live in Europe may have
some ideas. I am a bit of a rube; I've never set foot outside the
United States, and gift ideas for Montreux aren't plentiful in my
head. ;-)

How about flowers? Few women would fail to be pleased by a lovely
floral arrangement.

Hi,

Flowers are too obvious and a bit typical. ;-)

I like where you're going, don't just give up yet! :-)

Hi,

Would you paste your efforts in the answer, I have other long term
uses for the sites you recommended so I can't accept them for free.. I
adjusted the amount to suite the need.

Please accept it.

Thanks for accepting my suggestions! I've reposted the links below.

Thank you! :-)

NOTE TO MY FELLOW RESEARCHERS:

I'd be delighted if someone who knows something about finding nice
gifts in Europe would step in here. I'm a clueless Okie gal, and not
the best person to handle this question. I know there are some
sophisticated European GARs out there. Help!
