On December 8, the feast of the Immaculate Conception, many women in Spain celebrate their saint’s day: Inmaculada, Inma, Concepción, Concha, Conchi, Conchita, or Purísima. If you have one in your home, family, or among your friends, here are some ideas to get it right. And our favorite: give her a medal of her Virgin, so she can always wear it close to her heart.

1. The medal of her Virgin
It is the most meaningful gift you can give an Inmaculada: her name comes from the Virgin, and the medal allows her to carry her with her every day, close to her heart. It is not a disposable gift; it is kept for a lifetime and often passed down.
To choose, think about her style:
- Classic: the pearl one, or the natural pearl one with navy blue enamel.
- Colorful: lapis lazuli, amethyst, turquoise, or fluorite.
- Cheerful and youthful: the lime, pink, or orange enamel ones.
If you are unsure, you have our guide to choosing your Immaculate medal.
2. A medal and necklace pack
If you want a more complete gift, the Immaculate pack: medal with natural pearl and Paula necklace gives her another way to wear it. Our gift packs cost 10% less than buying the pieces separately.
3. A few handwritten words
Each medal can come with a free handwritten card: leave us the message on the product page and we will send it gift-wrapped. If you don't know what to write, you have ideas in Congratulations, Inma! How to congratulate the Inmaculadas and Conchas. Some:
- «Happy saint’s day, Inma! So you can always wear your Virgin close to your heart.»
- «Concha, may the Purísima look after you today and always.»
- «For the prettiest Inmaculada in the family.»
4. Order it in advance
December 8 falls right in the middle of the holiday break. We ship in 24–72 h, free from €65 to the mainland and Balearic Islands, but there is a lot of shipping volume during these dates: it is better not to leave it until the last day. The enameled medals are the first to sell out.

It is the solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, patron saint of Spain, and a national holiday. We tell you its history in the Immaculate Conception: patron saint of Spain, history and curiosities, and how it is celebrated in the Immaculate, December 8: traditions.
