Favourite Stationery Shop in The Netherlands – HEMA
It is technically not a Stationery shop, just chain of shops that sells clothes, cosmetics, food etc. You can find Hema in any town or city. Their designs is always cool! Went to Holland The Netherlands the other week and went to Hema to buy some stationery for my new job! a new job is like a new school year right = new stationery.
Here are things I bought.
This folders are amazing, never seen anything like that, with multiple colourful pockets.
I also bought an album and strap for my fuji instax.
Of course I bought some more washi tapes. *Obsesive. I will find something to do with them one day. π
The prices are quite good with the quality of the design, the pens are β¬0.90.
Sometimes I think Hema’s shops layout is a bit messy and jumbled, maybe they don’t tidy, but don’t be discouraged if you see that, the items are well designed. I know some of you live in Holland, do you go to Hema often? What do you think of the shop.

oh oh oh β€
some 5-6 years ago, i got to know about HEMA because i was looking for the Jip & Janneke book. didn't find it there, but found out that they have so many memorabilia of Jip & Janneke! so when we went to Amsterdam i knew i had to go there… and then i fell in love with the other stationeries instantly. it truly is our kinda store, since we both used to love Q-ta bookstore, right? π
Yes they always have some Jip and Janekke items. π I bought Jip and Janekke Washi tapes. hahahaha. Did you manage to get any Jip and Janekke books? I think a dutch bookshop should always have copy. If in doubt there is a shop call V&D they have a books department, they should have copies, obviously more likely to be in Dutch.
xixixixi, don’t worry, i found the book (in English) and bought 2 copies, one for self and one for my sister. π i bought them at ABC and Selexyz (yep, 2 different places because the ABC only had 1 last copy!). from Hema i got the Jip & Janneke ink stamp set, mirror case, & small umbrella. they’re just too cute, i couldn’t help myself!
I absolutely love Hema! It’s one of the stores I tend to frequentely visit to see if there are any nice new goodies! π It’s always a joy to walk around there! Great post and pictures. Thanks for sharing. π
π I see from you blog you are a washi tape lover too! where else do you go when you buy stationery in Holland?
Indeed, I am a HUGE Washi tape lover! But since I live in Belgium I don’t buy stationery in Holland. :p thehe. Shops I frequent visit are “flying tiger, HEMA, action, kruidvat, locall craftstores,…” I hope that helps! π
Cool! In UK flying tiger is called Tiger. The shops in Belgium seem similar to Holland with Kruidvat and HEMA.
Indeed they are! π
Warna-warnanya, selalu cantik yah, segar buat yang memandang. π β€
iya na. Potong rambut? Bagus. π
Hi Ndien,
baru sempat membalas walupun sering curi2 waktu baca blog. potongnya sudah beberapa minggu, tapi nampaknya udah lebih gondrong lagi sekarang. Thanks. π
Cheers. \^0^/
Go to Hema quite often as we have one in our apartment building. The one in our building is pretty tidy, but the rest of Hema stores indeed are quite messy. I think they have improved a bit though in the recent years. Hema is my go-to store, I buy kitchen towels, stationery, panty hose, socks and bike’s accessories there.
I am not sure whether it will be healthy for me to live near any kind of shop, I think I will be absolutely broke. Or if I have Hema literally around the corner I think my house could turn into a Hema showroom. hahaha.
Sejak pindah ke Den Haag, aku jadi rajin banget berkunjung ke Hema. Pertama karena memang dekat dengan rumah, jadi dikit2 kesana, meskipun seringnya cuman jalan2 tanpa rencana trus pulang2 dah bawa printilan2 gitu haha. Trus yang kedua desain2 barangnya juga unik dan lucu. Barang2 dapur banyak beli disini. Bahkan pelembab muka aku lebih cocok merek Hema. I love Hema
Oh aku belum pernah coba kosmetik, paling beli cat kuku. Nanti dicoba pelembabnya. π
warnanya lucu ya
Iya bener jg ya kenapa Hema itu berantakkan amat, yg disini jg begitu Ndien hahaha aku biasanya mampir tanpa ada rencana beli apa2, paling banter beli kyk nail polish gitu dan ngeliat pernak pernik ulang tahun π
Tapi aku gak ngerti kenapa, sebenernya klo liat setting toko2 chain di Belanda they are not the best at shop floor design. Hahaha aku juga beli nail polish kemarin warna kuning matte dan biru bercak2
Yes I love Hema. It offers something unique with affordable prices. My kettle is from Hema, so are my stockings, kitchen tissues &
Picardie glasses.
What I love about Hema is that it adjusts its assortment per season. i am a Hema fan as you can see.
Yes they do, change their range depending the season. π If I live in Holland I probably buy a load of home stuff from HEMA too.
