Description:
This swap is for the children, to help celebrate the feast day of St. Nicholas, which is December 6th. Children put their stockings out on the night of December 5th and St. Nicholas fills the stockings of good children with little treats, fruit, nuts and trinkets. In this swap, you will have one (1) partner which whom you will send them some small treats for their childrenâ€™s stockings. This swap has a minimum of $10 USD - please send at least two trinkets or toys and at least two treats. Please keep in mind the size of the items, as they need to fit in the stockings. Some suggestions are: * Gingerbread * Marzipan * Specialty candy/treats from where you live or traditional stocking stuffers to your family * Small toys or stuffed animals * Small palmed sized journals or notebooks * Mini color pencil sets * Small advent calendars (St. Nicholas always brings our advent calendar) * Small packs of interesting art supplies/kits Please indicate in the comments section the age and gender of your child, a few likes, favorite color, and allergies etc â€“ things that will help your partner pick out items that your child will like. Also, please no dollar store or used items. This swap is international, and because this is a swap for the children, you must have a rating of 4.9 or higher. You must have at least 5 mail swaps under your belt - letter, post card and sticker swaps do not count toward the 5 swap minimum â€“ sorry! No no-sends or flakers. Please PM me with any questions! The send by date is early, but this is to ensure that packages get to your partner in time especially if you are sending overseas. If you are considering this swap, please make sure you are 100% committed. This swap is for our kids and we donâ€™t want anyone to be disappointed. I will not be able to angel this swap, so honest and serious swappers only! Happy Swapping!

In the Netherlands it's Sinterklaas. It's a very popular holiday. Almost everyone here celebrates it. In stead of christmas

Yes I love to do this one. You know in Holland we cellebrate it on the 5th off December for the kids. Sinterklaas comes end off november to our country with the boat and his helpers and they make a story off everything that is happening and is showing on TV. Daniek my son off 4 is really into it then. And put his shoe at the fireplace. I always have lots off fun organizing things for this even.

I am very excited about this swap, my husbands family is norweigan and I have and know nothing about their culture and holiday traditions, I am hoping that this will spur a new tradition in our home to connect with my husbands hertiage. My son Hunter is 1 and loves, books, cars, cookies and crackers, playing with is musically instruments,dancing to silly music and fingerpuppets. I would be great to get cultural toys if someone from the scandinavia gets me as a swap!

I am sorry I forgot to post the ages etc of my children here earlier. No worries if you already picked something out, we are not picky. They are 3 and 1 yo boys and they love candy and anything boy. Cars, trains, Bob the Builder, books. Really anything you send would be fun to receive!!
