Help in finding a place to order souveniours from

[Dznypal]

A few years ago we were on the Mediterranean cruise. I found a small marble statue of the leaning tower. I don’t whete I read about this place but saw a place that had small marble statues of the colesium and Vatican.
So now we’re on another European cruise and had a sto in Hamburg
So my question is does anyone of a place where I can order something Thst Germany is onow for. We have an international nick knack shelve and I need something from there.

You mean China? All that tourist junk tends to be made in China.

Yea I know it is but it’s something I like to collect.
Actually this is funny. We have a dinner theatre that has shops I’ve already found bagpipes since we we’re in Scotland a sign that says Abby road since we were there so I just need a little trinket from there actually Norway too.

My experience is that international knick knacks are widely available near ports, train stations, and other tourist areas. It would cost much more to order and ship something than to just buy it as you pass a souvenir shop.

You need to buy your souvenirs when you are in the places you visit. Every European city, town, cruise port has a place or multiple places to buy postcards, magnets etc depicting their local places of interest and heritage.

I'm sure you can order knick knacks online somewhere, but as others have mentioned you'll pay shipping that might be as much if not more than the item. Are you interested in ideas of what to get that represents Germany? Just some ideas that pop to mind are beer steins, Hummel figurines, cuckoo clocks, a weather house, the Brothers Grimm fairy tale, a figure wearing lederhosen, Bavarian pretzels, etc.

Most European mail systems have stopped all commercial packages to the US for now because of the deminimis rule being abolished. So, ordering from outside the USA most likely will be difficult right now.

Most of the things that you would consider German (beer steins, cuckoo clocks, dirndl and lederhosen and pretzels) are very much but typical for Hamburg at all as they are from the South of Germany and don’t represent Hamburg at all. One thing that might be easily available is a little sea gull. Hamburg is known for them.

Yes i know what you are talking about. Almost bought them in Rome until i looked on TEMU and saw how much cheaper I could get them and save luggage space. Probably the same source the tourist places use anyway.
Haven't seen any for Germany but check TEMU, Maybe try Shein, even Amazon,. They are often listed as landmark statues.
