St. Nicholas Day Gift Ideas for Kids, Colleagues, and Loved Ones

St. Nicholas Day is pure winter magic. It’s the warm anticipation, the scent of citrus and cocoa in the air, and the thrill of finding a surprise under your pillow. But most of all — it’s about making people smile.

At Fortuna Nova, we believe the best gifts are those that stir emotions: a joyful gasp, a sparkle in the eyes, a whispered “wow.” In this guide, we’ll walk you through the best St. Nicholas Day gift ideas — whether you’re shopping for children, coworkers, or loved ones — and show you how our handmade chocolate gifts turn simple gestures into lasting memories.

1. What to Gift Children on St. Nicholas Day?

Children don’t just want “something sweet.” They want magic. A gift that feels like a fairytale coming true.

- Ditch the generic toys: A plastic figure from a supermarket shelf won’t be remembered. But a beautiful chocolate box with their name on it? That’s unforgettable.

- Parents notice the ingredients: Many are cautious about sugar, artificial colors, and preservatives. That’s why our chocolates are made from real dark chocolate, enriched with up to 60% cocoa products, and contain no palm oil, preservatives, or colorants.

- Packaging matters: We wrap our chocolates in charming kraft boxes that look like hidden treasure. Want to add a handwritten note from “St. Nicholas” to your child? We can do that too.

Tip: Choose our “Sweet Pause” chocolate mix — a child-friendly set of 12 favorites in holiday packaging.

2. A Gift for Coworkers — Thoughtful, Not Awkward

Gifting in the office can be tricky. You want something respectful, light, and genuinely appreciated. No one needs another notebook or branded pen.

- Avoid clichés: Soulless corporate swag rarely brings joy.

- Choose a universal treat: Handmade chocolates are the language of appreciation. A small box says: “Thank you for your support this year.”

- Add personality: Consider boxes with messages like “Sweet Fuel for 2025” or “Your Little Win.”

Tip: Our “Retro” boxes are ideal — a mix of nostalgic flavors and sleek modern presentation.

3. Gifts for Loved Ones — Warmth and Meaning

A gift for someone close is never just a formality. It’s a message. A gesture of love, care, and shared history.

- Revive childhood flavors: Our chocolates bring back the golden taste of Ukrainian childhood — “Red Poppy,” “Nyva,” “Extra Truffle.” Crafted from enriched chocolate with high cocoa content.

- Make it personal: Add a custom note inside the box. We can print or handwrite it. A short message often leaves a deep impression.

- Smaller gifts can mean more: Instead of one big gift, surprise your loved ones with a few small boxes over several evenings. Extend the warmth throughout the holidays.

Tip: Go with “Assorted” sets — ideal for family, friends, or your significant other.
