St. Nicholas Day — December 6 — opens the winter gifting season in Ukraine. Children get sweets under the pillow; adults receive the first winter arrangements: evergreens, cotton, ilex, white-and-gold accents. Arrangements in baskets last up to three weeks — right through the New Year holidays.

St. Nicholas also works as a "soft" occasion to greet a teacher, colleagues or grandma before the December rush: the delivery schedule is still open while the winter collection is already full. Order 1–2 days ahead for December 6.
