Zurich’s Cutest Home Gift Store – Heimlifeiss & A Real Friendship Story

Heimlifeiss is the brainchild of Janine Taufer and Barbara Hardmeier. I love the story behind the start of it all. Janine and Barbara go back many years when they worked together and developed a long lasting friendship. Then Janine moved to Hong Kong for work. Despite no longer working together they always kept in contact.

One day Janine decided it was time to start something of her own. She phoned her dear friend Barbara and they tell me within 5 minutes they had already agreed on their store project, “Heimlifeiss”. Their vision being to create a space where customers could find unique, ethically produced home accessories that add a special touch to any living space.

Looking back they admit at the time they didn’t fully realise all that was to come. The first scary moment came as a whole palette of goods arrived and both Janine had to start being creative about storing things – cellars, and Mum’s home also became useful hideaway spots – smile!

At Heimlifeiss, you’ll find a constantly evolving collection of items. From handcrafted ceramics and artisanal textiles to eco-friendly furniture and bespoke decorations. There’s always something new to discover.

Janine and Barbara pride themselves in supporting Swiss designers and offering a range of one-of-a-kind pieces that reflect the latest trends in home decor. Their commitment to sustainability and quality ensures that every purchase is not only beautiful but also responsible.

With the knowledge that:

“science says people who decorate earlier for Christmas are happier”,

I can only recommend a visit to Heimlifeiss to find the cutest Christmas decorations or the perfect gift for almost every taste!

Favourite Bags: Natural Nuance bags are crafted to the highest standards using consciously sourced materials. Circular design principles are applied to ensure longevity and re-use.
