They are suitable as souvenirs or given to friends.

Founded in 1945, Gassan Diamonds has grown from a small workshop of only five people to a large modern enterprise integrating diamond processing, export and wholesale. Gassan Diamonds has designed a variety of jewelry based on different themes, different ages and different customer needs.

It is recommended to try the brand's proud Gasan 121 cutting technique, which can polish diamonds into 121 faces, making the diamond more exquisite and shiny. In addition to diamond jewelry, Gassan Diamonds also sells internationally renowned watch brands such as Rolex, IWC, and Tissot. Men can also purchase many great souvenirs here.

Cheese & More has been open for more than 40 years.

After visiting, you can buy garlic cheese, goat cheese, sheep cheese and many other types of cheese. In addition to cheese, local specialties such as nougat, seasonings, wine and sausages are also available here.

Dutch Souvenirs

PGC Hajenius, which opened in 1826, is a century-old brand in the Netherlands. Even the Dutch royal family keeps private cigar boxes here. The decorations in the shop maintain its previous style. The carved marble walls, the brown wooden cabinets that help preserve the cigars, the dim light, and the unique cigars that are waiting to be chosen by customers. Everything looks exotic, just like the scene in the movie The Godfather. There are imported cigars from Cuba, Ecuador, the Dominican Republic, and other countries, as well as local Dutch cigars. The experienced clerks can recommend a tobacco that suits your taste. After purchasing tobacco, you can choose a glass of wine in the lounge and smoke a cigar, enjoying your leisure time quietly.

Chocolaterie Pompadour is a well-known local shop. In addition to selling hand-made chocolate, it is also a small tea room. The exquisite desserts are accompanied by tea, making it an excellent place for afternoon tea. The small red and white striped awning outside the door is ordinary, but after opening the door, the quaint wooden tables and chairs and the wallpaper with complicated patterns will make you feel as if you've come back to the 20th century. There are over 10 kinds of handmade chocolates in the store. In addition to the classic original flavor, there is also cream, truffle, caramel, and various flavors combined with nuts. Each one is beautifully styled, and tastes smooth and delicate. In addition to handmade chocolate, there are also chocolate biscuits and chocolate cakes to choose from. You can choose the chocolate you like and ask the clerk to pack it into an exquisite gift box, which is not only exquisite, but also easy to carry.

Dutch Souvenirs

How can sports fans miss the opportunity to buy sports souvenirs when coming to the Netherlands? The Dutch sports souvenir shop at the Amsterdam Airport Schiphol covers a large area and the orange sign is very eye-catching. The store has merchandise of Dutch soccer players and cyclists, such as hats, gloves, shirts, sweaters, water glasses, refrigerator stickers, etc. The products all have the vibrant orange color of the Dutch national team.. In addition to sports goods, there are also special Dutch souvenirs for sale, such as porcelain models that wear traditional Dutch costumes, porcelain windmills, etc. These would look good placed on your bedside.

Dutch Souvenirs

If you go to the Netherlands, there are always the same elements to the souvenirs you buy: windmills, orange and tulips. But if you want to find something really special, Dutch Food Gifts should be your first choice. Dutch Food Gifts is a paradise for diners. It sells many Dutch specialties from the world-famous Dutch cheese, to the Dutch national candy, Liquorice. In addition to cheese, it is recommended to buy Syrup Waffles. Unlike the soft waffles that you usually eat, this snack consists of two thin, crispy muffins sandwiched with maltose syrup that contains brown sugar. One or two slices of the Syrup Waffles with fruit tea go great with afternoon tea.

Dutch Souvenirs

Dutch tulips, Edam Cheese and log cabins next to canals are known as the three symbols of the Netherlands. House of Tulips, located at the Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, is made of green glass, and looks like a log cabin next to the canal, attracting visitors to the airport.
