(sorry for the bad pun) Wow! My dinosaur Santa really outdid herself. After matching, I received a message from my Santa that made my day. She said we seemed to have really similar senses of humor and she was very excited to be matched with me. I knew that this was going to be a great exchange and I couldn't wait to see what I would get. I opened the box and immediately I saw a (Handmade?!) pillow. My Santa really read my description and I couldn't have been happier. You see, I love pillows and my favorite color is purple. This beautiful purple pillow with dainty triceratopses marching across it was just perfect.

I moved aside the pillow and saw an adorable little box. What could that be? I slide the box open, and I see a beautiful (homemade!) necklace with a pterodactyl on it. I put it on immediately and in the last day I have received at least 10 compliments. Ego boost.

THEN. A book about Dinosaurs in Utah. How cool! My Santa is from Utah, and a gift specific to their state was just a really great idea. The book is actually very informative and easy to read, which is perfect since I am not a dinosaur expert. The illustrations are also hysterical.

STICKERS. It's like my Santa could read my mind. I love stickers. I stick them everywhere. These dinosaur stickers are adorable and a couple have already found a home on my laptop.

Last but certainly not least, these dinosaur prints. Living in a dorm room, I am always looking for some quirky decor. these three dinosaur prints are badass, adorable and classy and hysterical. Once I laminate them (so they last forever) I will make sure they get a special place in my dorm and in my future housing.

In her letter, my Santa mentioned a project she was following, so head over to dinohuntfilms.com to check them out! Thank you so much for participating in this exchange. I could not have wished for a better Santa. Your gift was a perfect combination of things I love and your own personal touch. You were totally right, we would be best friends in real life.
