Picture this: Entire cities glowing. Families gathering. Silent wishes written into light. This is the Noche de las Velitas – Colombia’s ritual that begins December with hope. A handmade ritual gift that offers more than candles: it offers a moment of intention.The Noche de Velitas Kit brings this tradition to Germany. Each kit is carefully assembled, and the most important elements – the lanterns – are made completely by hand.

What awaits you:

• 12 tea lights – for the wishes you’ll carry into the new year.
• 2 handmade lanterns – each one crafted with dedication, blending Colombian colors and symbols:
• An orchid lantern featuring the Cattleya, Colombia’s national flowerA Cocora Valley lantern, inspired by the iconic landscape with the world’s tallest palm trees
• 1 decorative tray – your personal ritual space.
• 300g decorative sand – so every candle burns safely.
• Long matches – because the lighting itself is part of the ritual
• 12 intention stickers – 6 carry words like Love, Health, Peace, Hope, Gratitude, and New Beginnings. The other 6 are blank – for what only you know you need.
• 1 marker – for wishes that have no pre-made words.
• Ritual explanation card – so you understand why this night is so special to millions of Colombians.

The lanterns aren’t perfect. You’ll see where my hands worked. And that’s exactly what makes them special – they were made for this moment, for you.

And remember: When you buy this kit, something else happens: 2% goes to our Artesana Initiative. We bring craft kits to breast cancer patients – because creative work heals, because busy hands bring quiet minds, because no one should be alone.
