Breda Monopoly

There is a new edition of Breda Monopoly. This time, it features drawings of Breda's most iconic locations instead of photographs.

This unique board game takes you on a tour of the city's most beautiful, beloved, and surprising locations.

Breda Monopoly is available at the Explore Breda Store. The edition is limited, so once it's gone, it's gone.

With the Begijns herb garden you can easily grow five of the more than three hundred herbs that grow on the Breda Begijnhof. Just at home! In the recycled egg box you will find Holy Bean, Basil, Red Orache, Garden Judas’s Penny, and Yin-Yang Bean.

Breda beers

Breda is a true beer city. Not only because of its many beer enthusiasts, but also because there are so many local breweries. Frontaal, Big Belly, St. Joris, the White Anchor. And we could go on for a while. 
Such a Breda beer makes a lovely gift to give and to receive. Did you know that Bier Lokaal sells special gift sets with Breda beers? This way, you give someone a complete tasting experience as a gift.

In addition to Breda scenes, she now also makes products for other cities and personalized wooden gifts.

Gifts with a historical touch

Anyone interested in the history of Breda has probably visited the Municipal Museum Breda. But did you know that the museum shop also sells gifts with a link to Breda's history? Beautiful books and images, but also coasters and pins featuring the historic eye tiles from Breda Castle. Worth taking a look around here.

Candle Big Tower

Candles shaped like the Grote Toren of Breda, you can find them, along with many more Breda gifts, in the Explore Breda Store. There are two different sizes. A shame to light them, but very cool as decoration in the house! Choose your favourite colour and size and bring a piece of authentic Breda into your home.

No way, that is spicy!

Born and raised in Breda, Jeroen de Bont is best known in Breda as Doctor Worst. He makes and sells the best hot dogs in Breda at his stall on Oude Vest. His own ‘Nondedju hot sauce’ is loved by many fans as it’s too tasty to only use on his hot dogs. That’s why it is now also available online separately or in a set with four varieties. An ideal gift for a spicy family member!

Breda T-shirts

Last year, the Explore Breda Store held a design competition for a new Bredaas t-shirt. And believe it or not, the two most popular designs received exactly the same number of votes on social media. Conclusion: two new t-shirts in the collection, each offering a unique perspective on Breda from designers Karlijn Simons and Studio Fungi. 

The t-shirts previously created by designers from Bunker Tattoo still remain part of the collection.  As do many other cool gifts from Bredase makers

Koreman's Limoncello

When you think of limoncello, you might not immediately associate it with a Breda product. But since the brothers Thom and Frank Koreman won the award for the best limoncello in the world in 2021, this tasty drink has become definitively linked to Breda. Besides making limoncello, the brothers now also produce 'cello's' from other fruits such as oranges and yuzu. All lovingly crafted with organic ingredients. This makes the (lemon)cello not only a delicious but also a sustainable gift.
