The best Dutch Christmas gift is one that lasts a lot longer than the wrapping paper. A personalised Delft Blue tile, a foodie favourite like a stroopwafel or a cone of fries, or an instant Delftify design all make presents people actually keep. Here are our favourite Delft Blue Christmas gift ideas for everyone on your list.
The best Dutch Christmas gift for someone who has everything
When someone already has all they need, make it personal. A personalised photo tile turns a favourite memory into a Delft Blue keepsake, and our Delftify tool lets you preview the design in minutes before you order. It is the kind of gift that ends up on the wall, not in a drawer.
Christmas gifts for expats and homesick Dutch
For anyone who lives abroad or misses the Netherlands, a Dutch icon on a tile is a little piece of home. Think Amsterdam canal houses, a windmill or a classic bicycle. Our Dutch heritage collection is full of them, and you can see which ones people love most in our guide to the most popular Dutch icons.
For the foodie at the table
Dutch food travels well as a gift. A stroopwafel, a cone of fries or bitterballen on a Delft Blue tile is a warm, unpretentious present for the person who loves to cook or eat. Browse the food and drinks collection for the tastiest designs.
A first Christmas gift for new parents
If there is a new baby in the family, a personalised birth tile with the name and birth details makes a Christmas gift that becomes part of the family's story. It starts in the nursery and often moves from home to home for years.
Christmas gifts for colleagues and clients
Looking for something beyond the usual corporate hamper? A custom Delft Blue tile with a company logo or a personal message is a memorable business gift, and we produce from just ten pieces. See our business gifting options to get started.
A Dutch Christmas gift on a smaller budget
Thoughtful does not have to mean expensive. A single design tile, a tote bag or a stand to display a tile all make lovely smaller gifts. They are easy to combine, too, if you are buying with friends or colleagues.
The best last-minute Dutch Christmas gift
Left it late? A gift card with a personal message lets them choose their own design, and a Delftify design can be created in minutes. Add a heartfelt note and even a last-minute gift feels personal.
For the creative one: a DIY kit
For the crafty person on your list, a Delft Blue DIY kit turns gifting into an activity. It is a gift and a cosy afternoon in one, perfect for the quiet days between Christmas and New Year.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best Dutch Christmas gift?
A personalised Delft Blue tile is our most popular Christmas gift, because it is personal, lasting and unmistakably Dutch. Food-themed tiles and Dutch icons like canal houses and windmills are close behind.
When should I order to get my gift before Christmas?
Our tiles are made to order, usually within 3 to 5 business days, and then shipped. To be safe, order in good time in December and allow a little extra for busy holiday shipping. If you are close to the deadline, a gift card or a Delftify design is a great instant option.
What is an original Christmas gift instead of the usual presents?
Keepsakes with a name, a photo or a Dutch icon tend to be remembered long after chocolates and socks are gone. A Delft Blue tile is decorative, personal and easy to treasure.
