My first ever Secret Santa exchange was a success - even though I initially thought I wasn't going to get a gift!

My Santa even offered to hand deliver the gift to me even though (s)he lived on the other side of the island...

When I first got my gift from the post office (because I missed the delivery - argh!), all I wanted to do was tear the box apart; I was so excited! I managed to hold back my excitement, and as soon as I got home, I ripped the box apart!

I'm glad to say that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE everything that was given to me. My Secret Santa was so thoughtful, and each gift had a purpose.

I got a nice cook book with loads of yummy recipes - just in time for some Christmas cooking, and to get me started in the brand new year. A DIY recipe book for me to jot down recipes, a food jar to store my food (since I pack them to school), and a nice little box to store my things!

On top of that, a nice little card explaining each gift.

I'm honestly really touched by all the effort my Santa has put in (from the delivery arrangement to the thoughtfulness behind each item in the gift).

Thank you Santa! You certainly made my Christmas, and I'll definitely put everything to good use! I wish you and your loved ones good health, and a Merry Christmas!
