Lindt and Toblerone are two sought-after brands that offer a crazy line-up of chocolates.

A Swiss watch is a timeless gift that you can give to yourself or your loved ones. Considered as an epitome of elegance and prestige, these watches soak in luxury and showcase expert craftsmanship. Interlaken in Switzerland is where you can buy a Swiss watch as it has a plethora of watch boutiques. Swatch and Wenger are two brands to "watch" out for.
Cuckoo clock
Cuckoo clock is another traditional souvenir that will remind you of your stay in Switzerland - one alarm at a time. While they originated in Germany, it's said that Swiss cuckoo clocks exude a charm that's second to none. The classic exhibition of craftsmanship, delightful music, and the hourly-singing cuckoo bird, makes this iconic clock absolutely worth-buying. Head over to Zürich to buy one.
Swiss wine
Switzerland is home to a plenty of vineyards in the south. However, Swiss wine is often sold domestically instead of being exported to the rest of the world. Reason? Well, they are made with the choicest grapes and are produced in a very limited quantity. This makes it one of the most exclusive and delicate souvenirs that you must include on your wishlist.
