I feel so lucky to have had such a thoughtful Secret Santa, each gift is so unique! Thank you so much!*

I received the Farmer's Kitchen Handbook, a perfectly written recipe book with tons of recipes for preserves, pickling, brining, fermenting you name it. I'm already making blueberry muffins and pie tonight from the book. The writer is from Vermont and knows her stuff, very easy but traditional recipes that you don't see a lot of anymore. I love it and am so happy to have it in my collection!

Speaking of collections, my SS sent me a packet of Native American stamps for my stamp collection. I was inspired to start my own collection after seeing a few albums from my extended family. The history behind each one never fails to fascinate, this was a precious gift!

The third gift is a Manga to Max Drawing and Coloring book about Dragons. I have no idea if my Santa knows but I have two dragon tattoos and my FIL calls me the dragon queen and I love to draw, such a perfect gift!

My fourth(!) gift is a multi functional whistle with a compass, thermometer, and magnifier. I'm an avid camper/hiker and this is such a handy tool, I can't wait to use it on my next adventure!

The last but certainly not least was a small baggie with an assortment of coins from various countries, I was speechless with excitement and wonder. I love foreign money and collecting coins. There's Francs, Spanish pesetas, Portuguese escudos, Turkish Lira, oh my! So amazing and thoughtful. This might be my favorite gift of the bunch, but I love them all!

Thank you so much Secret Santa! You're a master gifter! <3
