Welcome to Mysouvenirshop

Uncategorized

Although the name may suggest that we sell souvenirs, that is only partly true. Souvenirs are usually linked to an environment or a cultural event or place. However, you must first find that place. We try to show you these most beautiful places in the Netherlands in our blog and we also try to offer regional souvenirs through our webshop. That is why our website has a blog appearance with a webshop in the background.

In addition, we also want to promote vacation tips through advertisements, such as holiday homes and cycling holidays.
