Breda is a real beer city. Not only because of its many beer lovers, but certainly also because there are so many local breweries. Frontaal, Big Belly, St. Joris, the Witte Anker. And we could go on for a while like this.

A wine box with the Great Tower, wooden coasters with the Breda crosses, a charcuterie board featuring the map or skyline of Breda; all products from Breda's Paula Ackermann, also known as Houtmeid. Four years ago, she turned her hobby into her profession and began working with wood professionally. In addition to scenes from Breda, she is now also creating products for other cities and personalised wooden gifts.

Soon, Houtmeid will be at the home store Zukini at Marksingel 25

Anyone interested in the history of Breda has surely visited Stedelijk Museum Breda at some point. But did you know that the museum shop also sells gifts related to Breda's history?

Bredanaar Jeroen de Bont is mainly known in Breda as Dokter Worst. He makes and sells the best hotdogs in Breda from his stall on the Oude Vest. His own ‘Nondedju hete saus’ is, according to many fans, too delicious to be used only for the hotdogs from the Dokter. Therefore, it is now also available online or in a set of four variants. An ideal gift for a spicy family member!    

In the Bredase St. Annastraat, you will find several artisanal businesses including Saar Barbaars. Sarah Boeren designs and creates her own leather bag collection there. Modern with a raw edge. Unisex, so suitable for everyone. And… handmade in Breda!

When you think of limoncello, you might not immediately think of a Breda product. But since brothers Thom and Frank Koreman won the award for the best limoncello in the world in 2021, this delicious drink has been definitively linked to Breda. Apart from limoncello, the brothers nowadays also make ‘cellos’ from other fruits like oranges and yuzu. All traditionally prepared with organic products. This makes the (limon) cello not only a tasty, but also a sustainable gift. From beautiful autumn colours to winter days is just a very small step. Luckily, Breda has enough choice in every season to make your visit to the city a success.

If you find it really difficult to find the perfect gift, even with our tips, consider the Breda Gift Card, as this supports local entrepreneurs in Breda. It can be spent at more than 200 local shops, restaurants, webshops, and activities in Breda. The recipient can also donate the balance to local charities.
