1245 Box

The 1245 Box is a gift box composed entirely in Haarlem. Inside you'll find the work of Max's smits, De Haarlemse Bakker, Mamas Chai, De Cronjé. Instead of an anonymous bulk hamper, you're giving colleagues and clients a gift with a story from the Netherlands' city of flowers.

The 1245 Box is named after the year Count William II of Holland granted Haarlem its city rights: 23 November 1245, a good sixty years before Amsterdam. The charter borrowed its rules from Den Bosch, gave Haarlem toll exemption throughout Holland and came with the town's first ramparts. This box celebrates that beginning: compact, complete and unmistakably from Haarlem.

Every box can be personalised with a card carrying your own message, your logo on the box, and delivery to one location or to individual home addresses. From 15 boxes you can order directly through the webshop; for larger quantities or special wishes we'll prepare a tailored proposal.

Looking for corporate gifts or Christmas hampers from Haarlem for your whole team? We're happy to think along about the selection, budget and delivery, so every box fits your company.
