I received two separate gifts from my Secret Santa this year! The first package arrived Thursday night and I was immediately impressed by the beautiful penmanship on the parcel. :) I really didn't know what to expect but when I opened the package I discovered a trove of yummy treats not available here in the US - some Taytos and a bag of assorted Cadbury mini-candy bars! My boyfriend and I had so much fun sampling the "exotic" treats and looking up information about each item. I'll go ahead and verify that yes, chocolates from across the pond are much more savory and delicious than our high-fructose-corn-syrup atrocities here in the US. On Friday I received a small package from etsy, one of my favorite online places to shop. Lo and behold... I discovered my Santa must have some badass recon skills (my pinterest, perhaps? ;-)) because inside were a pair of earrings I have been wanting for years!

Thank you SO much to my secret Santa - you really made my holidays bright and I hope your holiday season is great as well!
