Buy the national cookie at this website.If you want to know how stroopwafels are made, visit my Gouda page, which also describes one of my major travel experiences with a Welsh TV crew! Depends a bit on the quality. Around 2 euro per package of 10.

All over Holland: Unique souvenirs and gifts

by Robin922

I would hate to even guess at how many pairs of wooden shoes and pieces of Delft that are taken home each year. However there are some other great items that people often miss that are not only Dutch, but unique, and a bit more useful. I would hate to even guess at how many pairs of wooden shoes and pieces of Delft that are taken home each year. However there are some other great items that people often miss that are not only Dutch, but unique, and a bit more useful.CHEESE is a great gift for the person who doesn’t care for dust collectors. However don’t buy that stuff in the gift shops! That stuff is for the tourists. Go to one of the many cheese shops or markets OR visit Alkmaar on a Friday and buy from one of the locals there. The piece of cheese shown was only 5 euros. Of course you do need to check with your local country’s customs about bringing in food items. For Americans at...

The American Book Center: Books in English only

by Nathalie_B

Personally, I like to read books and a lot! Of course it is possible to find books in English and other languages here in The Netherlands, but if you're looking for some particular type of books you'll need more than just a local bookstore.The American Book Center stores are located in 3 cities: The Hague, Amsterdam, and Leuven (Belgium). In general, books in the Netherlands are expensive, you'll pay at least 1,5 times more than you would pay for the same book in the US. But, if you're student and have your valid ID with you, you'll get 10% discount. In The Hague the second floor has the bargain section where you can find second hand book. It may take you a while looking for what you want but if you're patient enough you can find some real good book for a very low price. Once I managed to find a book by Paul Theroux for only 3 Euro!
