St. Nicholas Day gift
In Poland we have a nice custom for the St. Nicholas Day (or Santa Claus Day), which is 6th December. This is the day to present small, no-fuss gifts - the big ones are for Christmas. They are supposed to be surprise - traditionally those gifts are put in your shoes while you sleep like all good children should

He found it like this when he got home from work (so Santa was a bit late in this case):
