Most people would probably think of candles as a plain gift until they visit The Netherlands and become aware of the fact that beyond being just everyday household items, these are used to deliver that cozy, gezellig ambiance to an otherwise ordinary room. They make great decorations as well, since they are available in plenty of colors, textures and sizes to complement every decorative style. There is simply no excuse to add a little warmth to your space and make others feel welcomed, The Dutch know this all too well: the country is the leader in the use of candles during Christmas burning about 3.3 kg per person every year. Dutch candle making dates back to 1858 with the establishment of the Gouda Candle brand which enjoys outstanding international reputation to this day. Regardless of its simplicity, they are a pretty, colorful and very cheap gift to bring back home or share with the family. Price: 2€ - 10€+
