multi-lingual greeting/condolence cards

Dear All, does any one know of a place where one can get a greeting/condolence card in language other than German, Italian or French around Zurich?

I've looked in few places such as Migros, Kiosk's etc but not luck.

Any help would be appreciated.

What language specifically? If it's English I usually pick one from moonpig.com and it will send it on for you. Any other language than English or the above mentioned and I'm a bit stuck, sorry.

Well we need to have it signed by co-workers...death in family...He is Mexican so Spanish would be ideal but English would do.

Thanks

Re: multi-lingual greeting/condolence cards

You can also request that the card be sent to you rather direct to the recipient.

Re: multi-lingual greeting/condolence cards

Another thought - why not buy one with no text? For a condolence card I would suggest one with just a calm scene (landscape, for example) or there are some cards with an arrangement of pebbles or a close up on a cream or white flower.

With the right words written by you and your colleagues I think that would make a perfect message of condolence.

Re: multi-lingual greeting/condolence cards

on similar note...how about flower delivery services? anything popular and recommended for deliveries in CH? I've done flowers.com for sending them to other countries but no experience inside of CH.

If you're still looking, I think that in HB Shopville in the Manor card store they have a few English cards. Also Jelmoli has a huge card selection and a few in English. I don't remember for sure, but it's probably a small selection in both places.

Globus sells really nice cards as well. I've seen English birthday greeting cards, new arrivals etc.
