Casagrande Gift Shop

What a pleasant surprise this gift shop was! Spread across several floors were a multitude of knick-knacks and gift items, ranging from the unique to the more typical tourist kitsch. However unlike other shops we visited, the isles at Casa Grande felt wider than most other stores, everything was very neat and well organized, and the establishment was fastidiously clean. Overall we found the staff to be polite, friendly, and fluently multi-lingual. Best of all, almost everything was reasonably priced!

Two items of special praise for the inventory at Casa Grande: their selection of chocolate bars was expansive (we purchased several multi-packs), and they had virtually every model of Swiss Army Knife in stock with on-site engraving available (we got one for every member of the family). Additionally the store had very nice, free restrooms.

We came here to buy chocolates, and much like Bucherer around the corner, this place was packed with tourists. In fear of getting stampeded over, we dared not take the time for photos but instead made our way to a display of chocolate bars stacked eye-high.

A familiar name caught my eye immediately, Lindt. Um, I think I can get that brand in Hawaii! But, what I can't get is the Swiss packaging and the summer edition (if you go in the summer) flavors like Lemon-Mint, Summer Berries and Orange. After picking up 8 bars, I could barely carry them until a cute blonde guy handed me a basket. Okay, guess I'll add another bag of chocolates for the office!

This store has everything from postcards to souvenirs, but with all the people packed in here it makes for a very warm stuffy store. Get in, get out and hold on to your valuables!

This place has all your souvenier needs at a fair price. They speak several languages including English and Pat is full full of information. Your can find a great variety of Swiss Knives, watches. chocolates, Cuckoo Clocks and lots of other souvenirs all in one place. If the place is packed, come back later, the place is frequented by bus loads of tourists but empties out quickly when their buses leave. There are 2 or 3 separate stores all together at this location.
