Great Souvenirs from Holland

Whenever I travel and I know I'm going to visit or see anyone, I try to bring something with me. A little souvenir, so as to not appear empty handed.  It doesn't have to be big or expensive, just a little something to give to the person you are seeing. My favorite by far are the tins with stroopwafels (and they have been a really big hit with almost every one). Here I've gathered some other popular options from Holland.

If this isn't the typical Dutch souvenir, then I don't know what it is. I think it should be the national symbol! They are colorful and kitchy and a small pair would look cute anywhere. You can find them from 5 euros (but they'll be very tiny).

Dutch cheese is delicious and you can find it anywhere. And if you know your recipient loves cheese, then why not? Prices depend on how big the piece is, but between 5 and 8 euros is what you would pay for good quality.

This fig chutney- more like mustard-  is what the Dutch use to dip their cheese in. I wonder if this will go well with a pastrami sandwich?

If you happen to walk by Puccini, which is a very beautiful chocolate store, I know you won't be able to resist. This is not a cheap souvenir (this box was 9 euros), but I promise that whoever receives this, will be eternally grateful.

This is my favorite souvenir to give by far. They're delicious and you're left with a cute tin! The tins vary, as the price (it really depends on where you buy them), but you really shouldn't pay more than 5 euros for a tin. They also come without the tin.

If I lived in Italy I would give olive oil, if in France some salted caramels, and from America anything from Target or Anthropologie would do.

How about you? What is your go to gift whenever you visit someone??

Have an amazing weekend!
Giova.
