Gift Guide — Sinterklaas
Sinterklaas gift without plastic
A shoe present or a big gift: it can also be something that lasts beyond December 5th. We choose wood, wool, and paper — gifts that won't break by January.
Below are gift ideas by age and budget, from our permanent collection in Zeist.
Small shoe presents
For in the shoe: a wooden animal, a colored pencil set, a small book, or a small bag of marbles. Often under €15.
Small giftsThe big gift
A Grimm's rainbow, an Ostheimer animal, a doll's pram, or a Stapelstein set: gifts that will be played with for years.
Wooden toysSecond-hand and affordable
In De Schatkist in our shop you'll find second-hand toys, books, and puzzles — a great and affordable alternative.

Celebrating Sinterklaas with less plastic
Sinterklaas is precisely the moment when a lot of toys come in at once. That's when it helps to choose less, but better: one gift that will truly be played with instead of five that are forgotten after a week.
Natural materials help with this. Wood, wool, and felt age beautifully, can be repaired, and retain their value — you can pass them on or trade them in at our second-hand corner.
Stuck for ideas? Tell us the age, interests, and budget. In our Zeist shop, we'll lay out a few options and wrap your gift festively for free.
