Not much can be more fun than presenting a unique gift to someone who has something to celebrate. The giving is the easy part –it’s the finding of a good gift that can sometimes present a challenge. We’ve come up with ten gift shops in Maastricht that should help you succeed on your gift-buying mission.
Wonderwoud
Hoping to buy a leafy gift? Look no further than Wonderwoud, where you will find arty pots, products to care for your plants, scented candles, and a range of other gifts, in addition to some beautiful plants. This shop also offers beautiful vintage interior products, and there’s always a pleasant surprise in store for you every time you visit. You’ll feel like you’re in the green Maastricht jungle while you shop, and you can even have your favourite plant repotted while you enjoy a cup of tea or coffee in the café.

Stadsbrouwerij (City Brewery) Maastricht
Choosing gifts has never been so delicious as at the Stadsbrouwerij Maastricht. Researching the best gift can hardly be called a tough gig if there's a beer in your hand and you're on a waterfront terrace. You can even tour the brewery to make sure you're able to tell the person you're buying for all about the history of the beer when you present your gift. Choose from local beers and ‘barrel-aged specials’ in the gift shop. Lastly, decide whether you’d like to use the attractive packaging available or the ready-made gift packs.

Maastricht Store
If you’d like to buy something truly ‘Maastricht’, you’ve got to visit the Maastricht Store. We can see why you’d think this would be the place for (lost) tourists, but this shop is great for locals too. You’ll find gifts such as true Maastricht tableware, the Maastricht Underground card game, and perfume from Ton sur Ton. Foodies can create a culinary pampering package with a range of local delicacies. If you buy from here, it won’t just be your gift recipient who will be happy, but also the local business owners. The shop also features items from local creative producers based in Maastricht.
