The good: My Santa is amazing- she got me a wonderful gift even after I was snarky when the deadline approached. She was really thoughtful and attentive and even included a note to leave the gift at the door! The box was big- memory foam pens, maybe? :D I opened it in my car, tearing in at every red light because I was so excited!

The bad: Unfortunately, the USPS was not amazing- one of the gorgeous bottles of ink had broken and spilled and a pen had broken. Note: Santa packed this really, really carefully, too, but there was a big bump on the side of the box.

The awesome: Luckily, Santa was brilliant and included a gift receipt, so I went to exchange it. They had none left in stock but in the spirit of stationary, I bought some notebooks, a book I'd been meaning to read, and a few children's books to donate to my town's elementary school. Thank you, Santa! Grrrr, USPS.
