St Nicholas Day

What to put in the St Nicholas boot?

On the night between 5 and 6 December St Nicholas fills the shoes and boots left by the door. It is Nikolaus in Germany and Austria, Saint-Nicolas in Belgium, Luxembourg and north-eastern France, and San Nicolò in parts of northern Italy.

The boot has always held nuts, tangerines and chocolate. Our creams put them in a jar: hazelnut and cocoa, the orange cream and the almond cream, made in Sicily and free from palm oil. A gift that costs less than €10 and pleases children and grown-ups alike.

    St Nicholas for grown-ups

    Grown-ups leave their boots by the door too: for them the intense 45% pistachio cream or the cream with kadayif everyone is talking about.

    A jar on every colleague's desk on the morning of 6 December: it costs less than €10 and gets opened at the coffee break. For the whole team, one single order is enough.

  4. 4

    For the person you love

    A surprise in the boot with a card: the crunchy pistachio cream or the box with three creams and your message.

    Order in good time

    The boot gets filled on the evening of 5 December: order at least a week ahead, especially for deliveries outside Italy. The creams keep for a long time in the cupboard.

FAQ

Questions about St Nicholas Day

The tradition, what to give, when to order and the minimum order.

When is St Nicholas Day?

On 6 December. On the evening of 5 December children leave a shoe or a boot by the door and the next morning they find it full of sweets, nuts and tangerines. It is Nikolaus in Germany and Austria and Saint-Nicolas in Belgium and north-eastern France.

What goes in the St Nicholas boot?

Traditionally nuts, tangerines, chocolate and biscuits. A jar of cream sums them up in a gift that lasts: hazelnut and cocoa, the orange cream or the almond cream.

What can I give a grown-up for St Nicholas Day?

Something good and a little special: the 45% pistachio cream, the cream with kadayif or, for people who train, the protein pistachio cream.

What can I give colleagues for St Nicholas Day?

A 200 g jar on each desk: it costs less than €10 and works even for people you barely know. A classic flavour such as hazelnut and cocoa pleases everyone. For company orders there is our corporate Christmas gifts page.

How early should I order?

At least a week before 6 December, especially for deliveries to Germany, Austria, Belgium and France. The creams keep for a long time at room temperature, so you can order well ahead.

Can I order just one jar?

The minimum order on our shop is €15 of products: take one jar for every boot in the house, or give a gift card, which is bought on its own and arrives by email.

What if the person has allergies?

Before giving a cream, ask whether they have any allergies: ingredients and allergens are listed on each product page and on the label.
