Dear everybody..

Dear everybody..

Unfortunately, we have been experiencing some major technical difficulties behind the scenes, which caused quite a delay with regards to answering emails. Luckily, everything is fixed now, and I am desperately trying to catch up.

Also, due to the huge amount of orders that we have received, a small delay has occured here as well. But, I can assure you, Lian and I are working round the clock to ship out all outstanding orders as soon as possible. I am also working on a new system for the website, which will allow you to create an account, see your order history, and track your shipped orders.

I sincerely hope that you will not lose trust in Typical Dutch Stuff; I hope to be back on schedule within a month.

Best wishes,
Wendy

Busy Bees

It has been quite busy here at the TDS headquarters! The Sinterklaas stock is slowly making its way on to our shelves and into the boxes for shipping.

I am pleased to announce that our blogger, Lian, is now also packing orders and supporting the creative processes behind the scenes as a full staff member!

Moreover, I have added a number of new products, such as the Chocomel Hot Cups (finally a great hot chocolate straight from your Senseo), the puC coffeemaker (which allows you to brew a great cup of cappuccino, wiener melange, cafe cinnamon, or cafe choco), the matching puC Cups, Kinder Surprise Eggs, Kinder Chocolade, and many more. Be on the lookout for our next newsletter, as it will feature all the rest of the new products!

I will be able to make a sizeable donation to the Suzan G. Komen Breastcancer Foundation this month, so keep those orders coming! :)

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

As you may know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, dedicated to promoting awareness and stressing the importance of early detection. Most of us have been touched by cancer in one way or another. One of my family members is now battling breast cancer, so this year I really want to stress the importance of awareness. Therefore, 10% of our total proceeds will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Breastcancer Foundation. Don't forget: Wear Pink this Month!

Free Coffee!

I'm writing this entry from my brand new office, which feels really good! Hope you all had a great summer; I spent mine moving into our new place, which basically means that I did not have that 'summer feeling'. The weather here also didn't help, because this summer has been one of the coldest and wettest in the history, unfortunately. I am keeping my fingers crossed for what we call a beautiful 'nazomer' (post-summer).

What I wanted to tell you is that because of the move, I have stumbled upon stock that is close to its expiry date (mainly coffee pods). Now, I obviously can't sell this anymore and its too much for me to drink by myself. Therefore I am giving it all away for free!

I will split it up into a few batches and the first few people who email me at info@typicaldutchstuff will receive the goodies for FREE!

We're moving!

The gorgeous weather of the past month has vanished and has made room for the typically Dutch grey and wet weather. Talking about the weather as an opening line when you do not know what else to say is also so typically Dutch, haha. Anyways, as you might have noticed by looking at our home page, we're moving! Yes, we have found ourselves a new space, because although we still love our old space, it had become time to move on to newer things. So, that's what we're doing; we're moving on! What does this mean for the company? Not so much; we will have the opportunity to re-decorate our office/storage facility, which is something that was desperately needed. I have already painted one wall in soft pink, to match the company colors!

There are a few new additions to the website: Pickwick T-Pods Typically English and Kanis & Gunnink Mok Pods (they're twice the size of a normal coffee pod and are created to brew a single large mug of coffee).

First Family Photo of Princess Ariane

The RVD has released the first family picture with princess Ariane and her family. The picture was taken in the gardens of Villa Eikenhorst in Wassenaar.

Princess Ariane Wilhelmina Máxima Inez

We are happy to hear that we have a new princess! She was born on April 10 and her name is Princess Ariane Wilhelmina Máxima Inez. She weighs 4135 grams and is 52 centimeters long.



There are already a few streets named after the little princess, as well as a train; the Princess Ariane Express, which travels from Groningen to Den Haag.
