Shoe Gifts: Tips and Ideas for a Happy Sinterklaas
The cozy time of year is just around the corner: Sinterklaas! And what is part of the Sinterklaas celebration? Exactly, putting out the shoe! For many, this is a tradition that children in particular look forward to. Every evening they hope that there will be a small surprise in their shoe the next morning. For Sinterklaas it can sometimes be a challenge to come up with nice shoe gifts every time. That is why we share some nice ideas for Sinterklaas shoe gifts, useful tips for small gifts and suggestions for gifts under 10 euros in this blog. This way you can make the Sinterklaas period extra special!
Small gifts under 10 euros
Small gifts under 10 euros always do very well as shoe gifts. Actually, putting out the shoe is mainly about the excitement and the surprise. Fortunately, there are enough nice gifts that fit perfectly in a shoe. And a small gift is often also attractive in terms of price. Nice to give to children as shoe gifts are craft supplies, craft packages and sweets.
Sinterklaas shoe gifts for different ages
Choosing the right shoe gift often depends on the age of the child. A toddler is happy with completely different things than a six-year-old. Our shoe gifts are suitable for different ages. For a child of 3 years old, it is very nice to do crafts. With some help from an older child or adult, this will certainly work. Children of 5 years old can already get started very well with the craft packages and make a beautiful end result.
Tips for putting on your shoe
Putting out your shoe is quite an experience for children. They are often allowed to put out their shoe a few times in the run-up to Sinterklaas evening, and there are some handy tips to keep it fun and surprising:
- Spread out the presents: You don't have to put a present in the shoe every day. A small surprise every now and then (or just a handful of gingerbread) makes it just as exciting. This also gives less pressure to come up with new ideas every time.
- Notes from Sinterklaas: Put a small note from Sinterklaas or the Pieten in the shoe! You can write a compliment on it or a hint about something they will receive soon.
- Treasure hunt for the present: If you want something different, don't leave the present in the shoe, but set up a treasure hunt through the house. This makes putting out the shoe extra exciting and provides lots of fun!
Have fun during the Sinterklaas period
With these tips and ideas, the Sinterklaas period will be extra special and varied. With small shoe gifts, it is not about the value of the gift, but about the smile and the surprise. Have fun choosing the perfect shoe gifts, and enjoy the happy faces during this magical time!
