Hey Reader —

Want to hear a delicious little Dutch secret?

The first stroopwafel was invented in the 1800s… out of leftovers.
Yep — bakers in the city of Gouda (yes, like the cheese) used crumbs and syrup to create a treat that turned into a national treasure.

It started as a frugal invention.
Now? It’s basically Dutch royalty.

That’s kind of the magic of all Dutch things — simple, cozy, and somehow perfect.

If you’ve been eyeing the stroopwafel tote, or thinking about grabbing our “Gezellig AF” candle, now’s a good time to treat yourself.

Because cozy is timeless.
And you deserve a little Dutch delight in your day.

Warm stroopwafel wishes,
