Winter projects in Switzerland

Deals and benefits that are perfect for household, childcare, DIY, and everyday help via KnowS

Winter has its own rhythm. The days are shorter, but small rays of light are all the more significant. This is exactly where KnowS Winter Gifts 2025 come in. Every week, there is a surprise that brings joy and makes everyday life noticeably easier.

Background to the campaign

The winter gifts show how versatile KnowS is in everyday life. People find support in the household, help with celebrations, DIY, sewing, or childcare through KnowS. The campaign complements this with benefits that are perfect for the quiet season and make everyday life more pleasant.

The focus is on three elements:

- Small surprises that bring joy
- Benefits that make everyday life easier
- A feeling of closeness and warmth through KnowS

Organize your home and office and bundle tasks

Winter is the ideal time to restructure rooms. At home, this applies to the basement, attic, or home office. In the office or business, it often involves storage rooms, workstations, archives, or shared areas. Without time pressure, structures can be rethought and processes simplified.

Tidiness has a positive effect on clarity and well-being, a topic that is also regularly addressed by observers in the field of living: www.beobachter.ch/wohnen

Many of these tasks are easier to implement with support. KnowS can be used to find people nearby who can help with organization, tidying up, or smaller tasks, both privately and professionally.

Find support at home

Targeted relief for your household, office, and everyday life in winter

In winter, the need for support increases significantly. At home, this includes cleaning, shopping, and everyday tasks. In the office or business, additional work is added, such as regular cleaning, tidying up common areas, or simple organizational tasks.

The Federal Statistical Office shows how central support work is in everyday life in Switzerland, both in a private and professional context: www.bfs.admin.ch/bfs/de/home/statistiken/arbeit-erwerb/erwerbstaetigkeit-arbeitszeit/erwerbsbevoelkerung/arbeitsmarktstatus.html

Local help can provide targeted relief here. KnowS allows you to find services nearby that are transparent and tailored to your individual needs, whether for your home or workplace.

Discover help in life

Organizing reliable care in winter

Shorter days, illness seasons, and less flexibility increase the need for care in winter. This applies not only to children and pets, but also to care solutions related to working hours, working from home, or temporary relief in everyday working life.

Planning fixed care days creates stability in everyday life. Information on family policy framework conditions in Switzerland is provided by the Federal Social Insurance Office:

Regional care ensures trust and clear processes. KnowS allows you to find caregivers nearby and contact them directly, tailored to your private and professional requirements.

Organize care

Support for business, office, and local winter projects

Winter brings additional tasks, including in the business environment. Clearing snow in front of the store, minor repairs, assisting with workplace relocations, or helping with seasonal activities are easier to manage when done collectively.

Local support plays a central role in this and is also regularly discussed by SRF in the context of everyday life and cohesion:

KnowS complements existing structures digitally and facilitates exchange at the local level, both for private matters and for small and medium-sized businesses.

Unterstützung finden

Utilize and share local skills for home and business

Skills become particularly visible in winter. Craftsmanship, organization, care, and technical support are in demand, both in private settings and in the office or business.

The importance of local engagement and mutual support is also addressed by Pro Senectute Switzerland in relation to everyday life and community:

Through KnowS, people can offer their skills or find specific support, directly from their own region, flexibly deployable for home or work.
