Gift-Giving Occasions in the Netherlands
In the Netherlands, the big gift evening is Sinterklaas on 5 December, known as pakjesavond. Christmas follows three weeks later, so start early with our Christmas gifts and New Year's gifts. King's Day on 27 April is the country's great national celebration.
Mother's Day (Moederdag) falls on the second Sunday of May; order your Mother's Day gift a few days ahead. We also deliver new baby gifts, birthday gifts and thank-you gifts.

We deliver fresh, seasonal flower bouquets across the Netherlands. Each bouquet is hand-tied by our florists in our Belgian warehouse and shipped in a rigid flower box with the stems in gel to keep it fresh. You can choose Standard or Express shipping.

Sending Gifts to the Netherlands from the US, the UK or Elsewhere
Shipping a parcel to the Netherlands from outside the EU means customs forms and possible import charges for the recipient. With GiftsforEurope, you order online and pay in your own currency. We ship from Belgium within the EU, so your gift arrives in 2 business days without surprise fees.
We Deliver Everywhere in the Netherlands
We deliver throughout the Netherlands, including Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, Utrecht, Eindhoven, Groningen, Tilburg, Almere, Breda, Nijmegen and Maastricht. Always add the recipient's phone number. We do not deliver to P.O. boxes. A signature is usually needed, so a work address is convenient; at companies we deliver to reception.
