Chocolate Coins for St. Nicholas Day

One of the most beloved St. Nicholas traditions is the leaving of gold coins in children's shoes or stockings. At Shining Light Dolls, we've captured this timeless custom with our delectable Belgian chocolate coins. Available in both milk and dark chocolate, these shiny, gold-foil wrapped treats are the perfect way to continue the legend of St. Nicholas' generosity.

Packaged in beautiful gift bags, our chocolate coins make wonderful stocking stuffers or party favors. You can even use them to fill your own DIY St. Nicholas Day treat bags. Whether you opt for the classic milk chocolate or the rich, decadent dark, these coins are sure to delight everyone on your list.

The Story Behind the Tradition

The tradition of leaving gold coins in shoes or stockings dates back to the 4th century and the life of St. Nicholas himself. As the story goes, Nicholas, who was known for his kindness and generosity, heard of a poor family struggling to provide dowries for their three daughters. Without means to marry, the girls were in danger of being sold into slavery.

One night, Nicholas secretly threw bags of gold down the family's chimney, providing the dowries the girls needed. The gold is said to have landed in the stockings the girls had hung by the fire to dry, thus starting the tradition of leaving gifts in shoes or stockings on St. Nicholas' feast day.

Our chocolate coins are a delicious way to keep this centuries-old story alive and to teach children about the true spirit of Christmas - giving selflessly to those in need.

St. Nicholas Toys and Gifts

Of course, no St. Nicholas celebration is complete without the jolly saint's iconic figure. At Shining Light Dolls, we offer St. Nicholas classic dolls and plush toys to adorn your home or fill your little ones' stockings.

In addition to our chocolate coins and St. Nicholas figures, Shining Light Dolls offers a variety of other small gifts perfect for St. Nicholas Day stockings. Our St. Nicholas sticker books, for example, are a fun and interactive way for kids to learn about the saint's life and legacy.
