I generally only buy things that are Swiss Made whenever possible. For love of country and simply to support local makers, craftsmen and producers. Even when I visit a foreign land, I buy a product uniquely local to that town, region or country. Typically a food item. There's a gift shop in Antarctica in the British Station or Port Lockroy. Operated by the British, of course. I left there empty handed because there obviously isn't anything made in Antarctica. There are however plenty of trinkets made in China in the shop. In the words of our kiwi expedition lead, "Nah. Yeah, nah."
