Stationery
A pen with a tiny windmill dangling from it, a pencil topped with a wooden clog, or a sharpener shaped like a farmer's yellow klomp: our Dutch stationery turns every shopping list into a little piece of Holland. Browse tulip pens, pen sets with windmills and canal houses, art pens featuring Van Gogh, Vermeer and Mondrian, Old Master bookmarks and glass paperweights that give your desk a touch of the museum. Small, light and affordable, they make ideal souvenirs, gifts to hand out or a little extra with a card.
Dutch pens and stationery: a souvenir you'll actually use
A vase goes on a shelf, but a pen comes out every day. That is what makes stationery with a Dutch theme such a rewarding souvenir. A tulip pen on your desk, a set of pens with Amsterdam canal houses in your pencil case or a pencil topped with a little clog: small things that remind you of Holland again and again. And because they are light and compact, they fit into any suitcase and almost any envelope.
De Holland Winkel has been selling Dutch souvenirs since 2002. In this category you'll find all our pens, pencils, sharpeners, bookmarks, paperweights and notepads with a Dutch or artistic touch in one place, from a budget-friendly pencil to a boxed ballpoint pen that makes a proper gift.
