Make the Feast of St. Nicholas extra magical with a little surprise tucked inside their shoes! Our St. Nicholas Orange Surprise Ball is filled with faith-filled treats and treasures for children to discover on the morning of December 6th.

Inspired by the beloved tradition of leaving shoes out for St. Nicholas, each orange surprise ball contains six little gifts designed to help children celebrate the life and generosity of St. Nicholas.

Inside each St. Nicholas Orange Surprise Ball:

• St. Nicholas prayer card

Slip one into each child’s shoe the night before the Feast of St. Nicholas for an easy, joyful way to bring this Catholic tradition to life at home.
