If you are looking for Christmas present ideas then I can recommend to visit my online art gallery - http://asta.aigalerija.lt 

or my online shop - http://www.etsy.com/shop/AstaArtwork

There are lots of different paintings, drawings, prints (reproductions), handmade cards and I hope you’ll find something special for you or your family members and friends!

Since most people have lots of things and nobody really knows what one wants it would be a good idea to give a credit note (Gutschein), they sell them all over - Coop, Migros, or other shops and one can use that credit note to buy something he/she likes.

Hope this helps.

I think it's impossible to answer that question because to come up with an original present you need to know the person really well. The best presents are things like books, tickets to an event or show, or subscriptions to a course or something. But it can completely backfire if you give something they don't care for. 

Cartes cadeux - when you have no idea what to buy. 

Tickets for Cirque du Soleil. It works for grown-ups and children alike.

Hi All,

here an original idea for an ORIGINAL & SPECIAL GIFT.....a gift at 3'256 m. for the "new" Cabane du Tracuit.

3 features/reasons : nearby project support for nature & sport, health activity for body & mind, environmentally responsible...

Buy a shareat 100 CHF or make a donation (any is precious), indicate the name & address of the person and he/she will receive this nice information-present at home (remind via e-mail to [email protected] is a Cxmas present).

A gift that will take up on the mountains, in nature & fresh thin air. It will allow to be part of the important Project to re-built the Alpine Refuge du Tracuit further within more ecological/environmentally friendly features.

A brand new place for hikers & alpinists or people that would like to admire the spectacular mountain view from that spot near Bishorn (4,153m) and the Weisshorn (4,505m).

For anyone that likes nature & environmental project. For adults & kids (would be a nice future plan to go upthere & discover Switzerland mauntains).

you can find all info here or contact us :  http://tracuit.ch/projet.htm

for an original gift, to support a nearby project in nature, for an environmental act...

Best season's greetings & nice/responisle Cxmas shopping.
