robin all for kids 2015

The online toy shop, All For Kids, is closing its doors after nearly 20 years of invaluable service to English-speaking families living in Switzerland.

Since Robin Bognuda first launched her company as a mail order catalog business all those years ago, she has gone out of her way to source some of the most creative and inspiring products that you will ever find for children. She has striven to find items that have been recommended by teachers or families but aren’t readily available in the stores here. Quality has been a top priority for her, so most items featured on her website have won awards.

When Know-it-all passport editor, Lisa Cirieco-Ohlman, first heard the news about the closure, she told Robin, "I am not sure if I should say “sorry to hear that you are closing” or “congratulations on such a valuable service you have provided for the last 20 years and now you can sit back and enjoy your life”!"

However, the good news is that all Robin's stock must now go, so she is offering an incredible 50% off all items featured on her website until stocks last – and that includes the last 5 copies of the new 10th edition of the Know-it-all passport that she currently has in stock! So if you haven’t yet bought your copy of the guidebook, or would like to offer it as a gift to someone else, then don’t waste any time ordering one from the All For Kids for site, because they won’t remain in stock for long!

Groseille Bravo

If you are looking for an original card on which to pass on your personal message to someone special, then take a look at the new range of hand-made cards from Groseille.

Launched by local artist, Magali Bican, this colorful series of hand-drawn cards is ideal for special occasions such as birthdays, weddings, newborn arrivals – or simple declarations of love!

As a mother of 2 young girls, Magali knows just how special it is to receive personalised gifts and messages of love and support from friends and families – so she also creates framed pictures bearing the name of your child, in the design and color of your choice.

Each time Magali produces a new card or nameplate, it has a different flower or message so you can be sure that you will not find the same card anywhere else in Geneva – or elsewhere for that matter! Unless of course you choose to have your cards professionally printed in quantity, either as a birthday invitation or birth notification, in which case, the recipients will all have the same card!

The 10th edition of Know-it-all passport® on the bookshelf at Manor Lausanne

The editor of Know-it-all passport®, Lisa Cirieco-Ohlman, will be signing the new shiny 10th edition of her popular guidebook for the English-speaking community at Manor in Lausanne this Saturday, 24th September 2016, between 10h and 13h.

Manor Lausanne is one of 6 new sales outlets where you can now purchase the very latest edition of Know-it-all passport®, which arrived on bookshelves in local stores at the end of last month. Talking about this great new sales opportunity for the book, Lisa told knowitall.ch,

IMG 0264“I am really excited that the residents of Lausanne now have the opportunity to buy my book at such a landmark store in the community. Seeing how popular the book has always been at Manor in Geneva and at the Chavannes Centre, I am hopeful that the book will reach even more people in Lausanne through this new sales channel.”

She continued “If you are heading to Manor Lausanne, the best place to park is the Parking de la Riponne, which now offers a great service for shoppers — featured in the new 10th edition of Know-it-all passport® — called the Riponne Express. When you purchase your goods from Manor, Globus, or Coop, simply tell the cashier that you wish to leave your bags with the Riponne Express and they will give you a ticket for collecting your shopping later at the exit of the car park.  So you can literally shop till you drop or go and have a relaxing coffee unencumbered by lots of bags until you are ready to leave. You can find all the details, and lots of other handy tips, in the Parking section of my new book!”
