I had picked a very specific shade of deep red that I would describe as Merlot or Cabernet. Basically that deep brownish red that red wine tends to have is my favorite shade of the color and my Color Santa definitely met the challenge that specificity provided, while also showing a touching degree of investment in my interests and personality. I was the incredibly lucky recipient of a beautiful leatherbound journal/sketchbook (it's unlined and is the perfect size for sketching and carrying around), a very cute iridescent photo frame, and the book titled, "This is Not a Book" by Keri Smith which is full of interesting activities and puzzles. All of this was beautifully wrapped in lovely heavy knit jersey and tied with a cute people ribbon and buttons. Every gift was surprisingly right on the mark in terms of being that beautiful red wine color. My Color Santa just blew me away!!
