Gifts for the most magical night of the year

Yesterday is the most magical night of the year, especially for the children who are excitedly waiting for the three Wise Men to visit their homes and bring them the dream gifts they asked for by letter. The arrival of Their Majesties is so special that most adults – even more so if they are already parents – have recorded the memory of when Melchior, Gaspar and Baltasar brought them that much desired toy.

This is the case of the model Oriol Elcacho, married to the also model Davinia Pelegrí and father of two children Simón (4) and Violeta (2). “The excitement began on the night of January 5, when he left food for the camels and some whiskey for the Kings,” he recalled a couple of years ago on the portal. Vanitatis. But the most special gift was when he was nine years old when they brought him a 50 cc minibike. “It was a total surprise because I had asked for it several times in the letter.” And now that he is a father he realizes the effort that Their Majesties made that year to make him happy. Last year the singer Soraya played the queen and gave her daughter Manuela (7) some of the dolls that the Kings had brought her when she was little and that she still kept because of the excitement she had at the time.

For Manu Tenorio, the best gift from Reyes was the Scalextric, which was brought to him after asking for it for several years, the singer recalled in an interview. Since then he has expanded it with new tracks and cars and currently shares this hobby with his son Pedro (12).

Dolls are the dream gift of many girls. Fabiola Martínez, ex-wife of Bertín Osbone, explained in a report that when she was five years old, the Kings brought her Belinda, a doll that was as tall as her. For the winner of Masterchef 5 Raquel Meroño, the most special gift that Their Majesties of the East brought you was a doll bust to do your makeup and hair, called Gwendolyn. The actress Silvia Abril always had to share with her three sisters the toys that the Kings brought her, which is why she remembers as unforgettable the day when the wise men from the East brought her a Nancy doll for herself.

Former model Antonia dell’Ate once explained that she spent her childhood pedaling, thanks to the fact that the Kings left her a tricycle one night and then she switched to cycling. Four wheels had the gift from Three Kings that made Carmen Lomana the most excited, according to what she told The Confidential a few years ago. It was a British-style baby stroller with sheets and everything: “It was wonderful,” the businesswoman recalled.

The psychic Rappel confessed in that same report how special was the gift that the Kings brought him when he was seven years old: a mobile theater with their figures and a curtain. And that was where her artistic vein was born, creating dresses for the characters. Designer Moisés Nieto thanks the Three Wise Men for awakening his creative side when they left him some paintings with a canvas on an easel. Stylist Pelayo Díaz also fondly remembers a box of colored pencils as a gift.

In a report a few years ago in Canal Sur, former soccer player Rafa Gordillo explained that as a child the gift from Reyes that made him most excited was not a ball but a bicycle. Curiously, the former bullfighter Spartaco does remember as special the year that the Kings finally brought him a leather ball, so he could play soccer while the actor Rafael Álvarez The Witcher What he was most excited about was that Melchor, Gaspar and Baltasar brought him guns to play cowboys and Indians “and when I grew up I became a pacifist and I hate guns.”
