Soon to visit a newborn? Or expecting a little one yourself? This blog is packed with stores where you can find the cutest children’s clothing in The Hague, Hague-based entrepreneurs specializing in (vintage) interior décor where you can score a gem for the nursery, and enjoyable activities for the new parents. After all, they deserve to be pampered too!
The most charmingly Hague-specific baby gift is undoubtedly our own little romper suit. With that, you can be sure you’re on the right track. You can always bring chocolates from The Chocolate Shop and a beautiful bouquet from De Iris. And at this cheerful flower shop, you can also purchase the Haagse Schatten gift card, allowing the new parents to enjoy a delightful exploration throughout The Hague. Whether they’re in search of fun toys and clothes for the little one or prefer to indulge themselves, the voucher can be redeemed at over sixty The Hague treasures. Where to start? Here are some tips:
The coolest kids stores in The Hague
Achtung! Baby
A store full of second-hand brand clothing, local and handmade products, vintage toys, and children’s furniture. A warning is certainly warranted here: entering this store is entirely at your own risk, we do not take responsibility for the expenses you incur once you step foot into Achtung! Baby.
littleYou
At this children’s concept store, you’ll find beautiful wooden toys, the cutest and softest clothes from sustainable (mostly Scandinavian) brands, and the most delightful gifts. Quality and sustainability are paramount. So, you’re guaranteed to find something at littleYou.
SWAPS
Those kids grow like weeds, don’t they? In no time, it’s already time for the next size. Our The Hague treasure, SWAPS, cleverly addresses this. Here, you can swap your too-small clothes for a nice second-hand set in a larger size. All clothing that is brought in is thoroughly checked and cleaned so that the next user looks just as sharp!
Something unique for the nursery
Studio Limonada
The nursery could surely use a personal touch. How about this amazing elephant lamp, instead of that typical salt lamp? At Studio Limonada, there are so many fun and amazing options! Choose your own fabric, base, and trim. You can make your lamp as personal as you like and tailor it to all your wishes. Truly a unique gift.
Sprinkelhop
A store where you find real treasures. Vintage furniture, beautiful paintings, funky candleholders… Sprinkelhop is truly a store where you leave brimming with inspiration for your home, and usually with a beautiful purchase. The collection is replenished daily with the latest finds, so coming back multiple times is not a luxury.
Blijft Mooi
A sustainable start is half the battle. Here, qualitatively beautiful furniture gets a second life. Furniture that is still in very good condition, sometimes needing restoration or refurbishment, but all can still last for years. Wouldn’t it be nice if your little one had such a beautiful item from Blijft Mooi in their room?
Some mom-time
After nine months of abstinence, moms can let loose again! Skip into summer dresses and head to the terrace of Little Miss Sangria for a delightful pitcher of homemade Sangria, or grab a truly good bottle of wine for home at Porte Reffe. And what about sushi? Finally, you can indulge in the tastiest rolls from the Sushimeisjes.
Feeling a bit crumpled after the arrival of the little one? At The Hague treasure PureSan, you can get excellent skin-improving treatments. And those locks could surely use a good trim. For that, we recommend a visit to Vita Hair. The calmest, most beautiful salon in The Hague. For the ultimate moment for yourself, pamper yourself at Amilda Wellness Boutique. We’ve never felt towels this soft… can you imagine yourself lying on these soft beds?
New dads
And we haven’t forgotten about the dads either! How about a delicious beer from the Hague brewery Eiber? Since 2020, they’ve even brewed a special birth beer, in honor of the birth of their daughter. This so-called ‘Kleintje Eiber’ is a Brut IPA with characteristics of champagne: dry and with lots of carbonation, so it’s perfect for toasting;)
Need a break? Then you can also come taste Eiber’s beers at Haags Hoog. Nice and spacious among the tanks on the sixth floor of The New Farm, you can overlook our beautiful city and learn all about beer and the process that precedes your favorite drink: you’ll inspect, smell, and of course taste the beer like you’ve never done before.
With the arrival of a little one, another drink can’t be missing, we think: coffee! Order the (freshly roasted every week!) beans from our The Hague treasure Brute Bonen for home. Or have the perfect cup of coffee made for you and settle down at the Brute Bonen Espresso Bar on Zodiakplein.
Give the new parents and their little Hague treasure a Haagse Schatten gift card. Because as you can see, it allows every member of the family to indulge themselves. Buy it in our webshop, or at one of our sales points: Brute Bonen (Zodiakplein 90), La Paulowna Boutique Hotel (Anna Paulownaplein 3), Couqou (Noordeinde 59), De Zelfspot (Badhuisstraat 198), or Bloemenwinkel de Iris (Laan van Meerdervoort 594).
