St Nicholas Day opens a run of winter holidays and brings a touch of magic into ordinary life. Children have particular expectations of this holiday. Whatever their age, girls and boys wait for presents, not quite believing they might find under their pillow the birch twigs that, according to legend, a little devil carried behind St Nicholas. And they are right, for the good saint listens more to the angel's advice and gives children sweets, toys and even clothing. Yes, the tradition of giving children cardigans, jumpers and socks exists in Germany. But children always found sweets in the pocket too.

If you want to keep the tradition alive but are tired of chocolate, teddy bears and felt-tip pens, you are welcome at the «Vyshyvanochka» online store.

Here you are sure to find what to give children for St Nicholas Day.

 Choosing a gift for boys

For all their love of cars, robots and video games, boys today also like to dress well and look stylish. Do consider the advantages of the jumpers and comfortable cardigans we offer:

• a warm jumper decorated with a bright ornament typical of the winter holidays: snowflakes and mysterious reindeer with branching antlers, as if they had stepped out of a fairy tale. The piece is not only beautiful but keeps a teenager or a small child comfortable in the winter cold, as it is made from wool (40%) and acrylic (60%);
• a cardigan with embroidery resembling snowflakes makes an equally useful gift. It can be bought in traditional festive colours: blue, red, green. The material is blended, stands up well to washing, does not stretch and keeps its colour. The embroidery is machine work, which is good too, as it will not suffer in the wash or lose the brightness of its colours.

And if a growing young Cossack's wardrobe holds no vyshyvanka shirt, now is the time to make him happy. Embroidered shirts for every taste are one answer to what to give a boy for St Nicholas Day. 

Looking for a gift for girls

Discerning young girls are not always delighted by the outfits their parents choose, but what «Vyshyvanochka» makes will not leave them indifferent.

You can buy a cosy cardigan with handsome reindeer gathered around a mysterious tree. More romantic natures will appreciate decoration in the form of fantastical flowers. Young ladies in cardigans with an ornament styled after snowflakes will not go unnoticed either.

While thinking about what to give a girl for St Nicholas Day, do take a look at our graceful embroidered dresses. Long or short, with a bright pattern or monochrome — a young lady will shine in one at any celebration. And if your little princess believes in horoscopes and predictions, order an outfit in white. Soft pastel tones are always a safe and elegant choice.

Young girls will be pleased by jewellery too: hair clips, flower crowns, graceful belts and beaded pieces. Tastefully chosen accessories bring out a little girl's individuality. 

Having chosen gifts for the children you love, you will feel like a miracle worker yourself. And the reward will be eyes shining with joy and a grateful smile. Creating a celebration for a child with your own hands is such a pleasure, and with our help it is easy and affordable too, as we are a little magical ourselves and love working wonders.

Gifts for a school celebration

These may be affordable accessories or vyshyvankas at entirely reasonable prices. The latter are made in the folk tradition and will be a talisman for your children for the whole year ahead. What is more, a smart blouse or shirt is fitting at any celebration, not only a school one. Children today happily wear them, seeing themselves in the company of their ancestors.
