Smart solutions for parents

You probably recognize this: you're sitting at the table with your child, wanting to really connect, but the conversation never gets past "how was your day?" and "good." At Gezinnig, they understand. This Dutch brand creates products that help you connect in a playful way. No forced conversations, but fun cards and books that naturally lead to stories, memories, and sometimes surprising discoveries about each other.

Gezinnig was founded in 2008 by Rianne van Essen, a mother herself looking for ways to create more genuine attention in the family. The result? The now-famous Kletsboeken (Chat Books). Over 200,000 copies have been sold, and for good reason. Tafelklets encourages cozy conversations at the dinner table, Vakantieklets makes long car rides much more enjoyable, and Slaapklets is perfect for a relaxing moment before bed. Each edition is packed with questions, activities, and conversation starters that are perfect for the occasion.

What makes Gezinnig so special is that it doesn't make parenting difficult, but actually easier. It's not about perfection or rules, but about connection. Laughing together about a silly question, discovering what really drives your child, or simply enjoying each other's company without the distraction of screens.

Besides the Kletsboeken, Gezinnig also offers other clever products for parents. Think fill-in books, gift sets, and creative materials that help create fun memories together. Perfect as a baby shower gift, birthday present, or just because.

For anyone looking for more quality time with their family: Gezinnig offers exactly the tools to make it happen. Simple, playful, and focused on what truly matters.
