Wooden shoes

Wooden shoes, or Klomp, are a popular souvenir from the Netherlands, and they have a long history in Dutch culture.

They are often associated with Dutch farmers and some locals still wear them for practical purposes. They come in a variety of sizes and styles, from traditional to more modern.

However, they can be uncomfortable to wear as they are quite heavy.

Dutch licorice

Licorice is very popular in the country and there are many different varieties, from sweet to salty and even spicy.

If you are a licorice fan or know someone who is, bringing one or two bags of Dutch licorice with you is a great way to share a taste of Dutch culture.

You can find them in most supermarkets and pastry shops.

Bicycle-related products

Bicycling in the Netherlands is a popular mode of transportation because the country has a well-developed bicycle infrastructure and a culture that values cycling as a healthy and environmentally friendly way of transportation.

Consequently, you can buy a variety of bike-related products, ranging from bike bells to reflectors, seat covers, and jerseys.

You can also find bicycle-shaped keychains, bicycle-themed postcards, and T-shirts.

Delft Blue ceramics

Delft Blue pottery is a beautiful and unique souvenir from the Netherlands that can be a great addition to any home decor or kitchen collection.

It is a kind of earthenware that is decorated with blue patterns, usually depicting scenes of Dutch life, flowers or windmills. It is offered in many designs, from traditional windmills and canal houses to more modern designs.

Items depicting windmills

The Netherlands is known for its flat landscape, making it an ideal location for windmills that harness wind energy.

Windmills are an iconic symbol of the country. Items featuring windmills can be a great souvenir to remind you of your trip to the Netherlands.

You can find things like fridge magnets, wall art, tapestries, or even ceramic or glass windmill figurines.
