Put out your boots: Very special gifts for St. Nicholas Day
"Once a year, the shoe polish is used and the biggest pair of boots is polished to a shine" – In his song, Rolf Zuckowski sings about a day in December that is especially eagerly awaited by children: St. Nicholas Day. Every year on the night of December 5th/6th, millions of shoes, big and small, are filled with treats and little gifts, thus shortening the wait for Christmas. 🎅🏻 We'll show you where the St. Nicholas tradition comes from and give you some very special ideas for St. Nicholas Day gifts that will not only make children's eyes light up but also delight adults.
The story of Saint Nicholas Day
St. Nicholas Day is celebrated every year on December 6th and commemorates Saint Nicholas of Myra. The bishop lived in the 4th century in what is now Turkey and, according to legend, secretly threw gold nuggets into the windows of poor families to help them. These acts are the basis for the tradition of placing boots or stockings outside the door on the eve of St. Nicholas Day, which are then filled with gifts. This custom symbolizes charity and sharing with others.
To this day, this beautiful tradition has been maintained and St. Nicholas Day is celebrated every year on December 6th, the day of St. Nicholas' death.
Traditional gifts for St. Nicholas Day
Classic St. Nicholas Day gifts include walnuts, tangerines, oranges, apples, and small treats like the well-known chocolate Santa Claus. According to a survey, food items top the list of St. Nicholas Day gifts at 69%. In recent years, smaller gifts such as games (45%) and books (33%) have also increasingly found their way into St. Nicholas Day stockings.
5 special gift ideas for St. Nicholas Day
But even beyond the usual St. Nicholas Day gifts, there are plenty of wonderful gift ideas that will make your children's eyes light up on December 6th.

There are other, very special gift ideas that are perfect for St. Nicholas Day. 🎁 We've picked out 5 St. Nicholas Day gift ideas that are guaranteed to be a surprise and look great in a St. Nicholas Day stocking.
1 Fun and Learning: Open-Air Buffet Birds
Feeding birds isn't just fun, it's also a great way for children to learn. Which birds are native to our region? What do they look like? With the outdoor bird feeder, feeding our feathered friends is even more enjoyable. In just a few steps, the cardboard box transforms into a beautiful and weatherproof bird feeder. Hang it up together in a sheltered spot in the garden, and you're ready to start birdwatching. The outdoor bird feeder is also available for hedgehogs and squirrels. A unique gift for St. Nicholas Day!

Here's what our customers say
Fast, trouble-free delivery. Christmas gifts without chocolate. My colleagues will be delighted, and I'll treat myself too.
Excellent! Superb quality and very diverse. The calendar was a gift and was very well received. I'd gladly order again next year.
A dandelion as a gift. I used it for Christmas and it more than fulfilled its purpose. For me, it was the most beautiful gift I could give this year. For only €9.95, it was, as I said, truly a highlight of the evening. I love it, and so does the person who now has it.
The question is: will my husband get the 4-pack and the 6-pack for Christmas? Or which ones should I keep for myself? My daughter saw them and wants one too... And the fact that such "old boxes" were packed so carefully and lovingly that opening the packages is a joy – thank you, city gardeners!
Wow! The box is big! (45 x 38.5 x 13.5 cm) And it has 24 openings on all sides. :) (You can see them in the pictures, but I hadn't noticed.) It looks really good, professional, and well-made. I'm more than 100% sure the contents will be as good as they look. It's a gift for my mother, who lives in the countryside with a large garden and squirrels visiting her. She's going to love it.
I gave these wish-granting gifts to my team as a small Christmas surprise. The dandelion was very well received. In my opinion, the price/performance ratio is also excellent. Anyone with bigger wishes should get the whole dandelion; it's absolutely beautiful.
I gave the suet balls as a small Christmas gift. Even the packaging shows so much attention to detail. The shop also has many other beautiful and creative items. I will definitely order again next time, give more products as gifts, or maybe even try some myself. A clear recommendation from me! :-)
I ordered the seed bombs as Christmas gifts for friends and family. They arrived quickly and were lovingly packaged. Thank you! The instructions are also great – wittily written and beautifully designed. I attached them to the packages with ribbon, and with a few star stickers, they make the perfect, original Secret Santa gift. Whether things will soon become more colorful and green around here remains to be seen in the spring.
