I may have to quit redditgifts; I know I could never top this gift, either as a recipient or a Santa.

My Santa did his/her homework, and stalked me beautifully. I told Santa I enjoyed boxes, and gadgets, handmade items, and things-inside-of-things. That I was a retired teacher/musician looking for something creative to do. Santa sent me:

A wonderful and personal note explaining the choice of each gift.

A make-your-own music box kit, including blank strips to write your own tunes.

A wood-burning set and some wood blanks to give me something creative to do.

A new sci-if book to read.

And a plain wood box for me to decorate up when I get good at wood-burning.

But THEN---inside the wooden box, an origami basket filled with 22 handmade origami hearts.

But THEN, BUT THEN! Each heart unwraps, and inside is a handwritten quote or affirmation to lift me up when I am down or discouraged.

I'm crying, this is perfect.
