Fellow redditgifters, please prepare for a small novel as I do my best to give my santa all the due thanks deserved here.

To start, take a look at this box. It is covered in gorgeous images of the beautiful sights and wildlife of Vancouver island, and the post indicates it is from Naniamo. I've been there briefly to have a cord tied around my ankles before jumping off a bridge, but never had much time to explore your city. I very much appreciate the opportunity to at least have my taste buds go on this island tour!

Following the instructions to open from the bottom, I carefully sliced around the edges of the box to reveal several packages beautifully wrapped in maps and tourism brochures. There's a pamphlet of a tour of good eats in Nanaimo, and a note indicating that one of my treats is from one of those stops! There's also a post card, and some colouring sheets for the kiddo. (He wants to go to the island ASAP now!)

Now that I've acknowledged the incredible amount of thought and effort that went into this presentation of this, let's move on to the snacks themselves.

I'm mostly going to let photos do the talking at this point because this is all overwhelming and I'm on quite the sugar buzz still from sampling. I know there are a lot, but please scroll through to appreciate the amazing thoroughness of this parcel.

There's an incredible selection here, and it is ALL delicious! Santa, you are insanely sweet and thoughtful and the amount of effort that went into putting this parcel together for myself and my kid is nothing short of astounding.

Thank you so, so very much!!
