Retirement gift for her: a piece of Switzerland in silk
Updated: Oct 11
After many years at work, a new time begins: more travel, more hikes, more time for the places she loves. A silk scarf from beyondSilk featuring a Swiss destination fits this new start. It recalls the years you shared and goes with her on every trip.
Seven designs are available, from CHF 120. Delivery in Switzerland is free.
For a colleague: a gift from the whole team
When the team chips in, there is enough for a gift that stays. CHF 200 shared by ten colleagues is CHF 20 each. One person orders online and adds the team's message at checkout.
