Obsession spirals out of control: this woman wants to live in a gingerbread house.

A house full of gingerbread

The Gingerbread Lady’s friends and family know that they can’t make her happy with flowers, chocolate or the other usual presents. It doesn’t matter what you give her as long as it has something to do with gingerbread. This has led to a collection of gingerbread-related items that now fill up her entire house.

By 2013, five years after Tamera had started her gingerbread collection, she had collected no fewer than 800 different items related to gingerbread. Tamera estimated her collection at a value of approximately 3000 euros. But that is what it was worth in financial terms. The emotional value of this collection was many times higher. Tamera’s whole life revolves around gingerbread. Every moment not spent on other things, she is busy expanding her collection.
