Christmas gifts for your team

These stollen by “Bread à Porter” are more than just festive pastries – they tell stories from the heart of Bern’s Old Town. The Münsterstollen is aged in the cellar beneath the cathedral, where sourdough and rum-soaked fruit unfold their full flavour in the cool stone walls. The Zytglogge Stollen is made entirely from local ingredients: sourdough from Münstergasse, honey, hazelnuts and fruit steeped in Bernese Matte Gin. For three weeks, it matures beneath the iconic Zytglogge – becoming a stollen with character, rooted in place and craft.

Home to Switzerland’s largest publicly accessible telescope, Space Eye in Niedermuhlern, offers a unique window to the universe. Located within the Dark Sky Park Gantrisch, the site provides true darkness – the perfect setting for spectacular views into deep space. Immersive planetarium shows take visitors on a journey through the cosmos and back. A guided exhibition tour offers insights into astronomy, the environment and cutting-edge technology – all told through captivating stories from science and space.

More than just a cosy accessory: these alpaca beanies from the Rüedi family farm are made using wool from their own herd. Each beanie carries the name of the alpaca it came from – personal, local and full of character. The yarn is spun right on the farm in Meikirch, and the knitting is done by Textil AG in the Emmental. 100 percent Bern – from fleece to finish.

Simple. Sharp. Striking. The “Grosi-Schnitzer” from Klötzli Messerschmiede in Burgdorf and Bern is a Swiss made knife inspired by traditional craft. A nod to the past, the thinly ground stainless steel blade is finished by hand – just like in grandmother’s day. The handle, made of Swiss black walnut, gives it a timeless, natural look. Perfect for engraving – with a company logo, name or personal message. A true original with a personal touch.

Gift a piece of Bernese culture with the Museum Card, which grants free admission to all museums of the Bern Museums Association for either 24 or 48 hours. Included are the Zentrum Paul Klee, the Bern Historical Museum, the Franz Gertsch museum, and many more. What a treat for culture aficionados!

Whether kitchen towels, napkins, table linen or bags – every piece from Linen Weaving Bern stands for quality, function and understated beauty. Rooted in Bernese craftsmanship that spans generations, the textiles combine tradition with timeless style. Custom requests are welcome: from elegant alterations to personalised dream linens made from a curated selection of premium fabrics. A thoughtful gift for those who appreciate detail and design.

For those who like to start the day with flavour: the Bernese coffee blend from “Rösterei” combines premium Arabica beans with expert small-batch roasting – straight from the heart of Switzerland’s federal city. At Rösterei Kaffee & Bar on Güterstrasse, the beans are carefully selected and gently roasted in a traditional drum roaster. Also available at the Coffee Coaching Club – the perfect place to enjoy a brew and a relaxed brunch.

A Christmas journey through time: A voucher for a guided tour of Thun Castle offers 800 years of history in just one hour – vivid, surprising and full of stories. Perched high above the city, the medieval castle houses a fascinating museum and makes a meaningful gift for history lovers. Prefer to stay in the city of Bern? The city’s diverse range of guided tours guarantees just the right experience – all year round.

Even for those who (mostly) love their work, the time for rest and relaxation eventually comes. A wellness voucher for Bernaqua is the perfect way to offer employees a well-earned break. In this modern wellness oasis, total relaxation awaits – with saunas, steam baths, experience showers and quiet zones designed to recharge body and mind.

At the bblubb soap factory, they create handmade Bernese soaps in all sorts of colours and shapes. The raw materials used in production are environmentally friendly and mainly sourced from Switzerland in a way that supports social causes. For a truly personal touch, these soaps make fantastic Christmas gifts. You can even choose the ingredients yourself – whether it’s a sea salt winter bath, a Bernese polar bear, a gingerbread person or body butter sticks, the options are endless. We call this a personalised employee gift.
