I nearly exploded with excitement last week when Santa marked my gift sent - but then a few days later he/she messaged me again to say "I'm not done yet" and has since sent me at least four more gifts to my certain knowledge!

So, this is Gift Number 1, which arrived today, and which I LOVE!!!!

Santa wouldn't know, but: (a) I hate feeling cold in bed (b) I am British so am ridiculously fond of a nice cup of tea (c) I am pitiful when I am ill and need lots of fussing over

At this time of year I have a hot water bottle in my bed every night, but my current one is really showing signs of age and has been leaking a bit lately, so I REALLY wanted a new one for Christmas. I popped this on my Amazon Wish list, and lo and behold, Santa found it and sent it to me!! Yay Santa! My feet will be exceptionally toasty in bed tonight, and for that alone I'm very grateful....

I will update this post further as other things arrive! Thank you xxx

------------------------UPDATE: 21/12/13

I got up this morning, thinking that I would spend the day pottering around doing chores ready for Christmas, when there was a knock on the door and a man standing there with the two largest Amazon boxes I have ever received! I thought they had delivered to the wrong person, but then when I saw the label I could tell it was from my Santa as it had my reddit username on it! OH MY GOD!!! HOW CAN SOMEONE BE THIS GENEROUS TO A RANDOM STRANGER!!!

I have been in tears, I'm lost for words. I think my Santa may actually be the REAL Santa, because his sack seems very full. When I signed up for Secret Santa this year, I thought I might be lucky to get a mug. How wrong I was. The best thing is the thought that's gone into it - Santa has chosen gifts that really match my profile.

Words can't thank you enough Santa. You are quite simply, Amazing. I hope the pictures and comments below can help you feel some of the excitement I felt opening everything!

Kickme444 - I can't believe you have still sent me MORE stuff that's yet to come. You are off the scale of Santa awesomeness!

Enjoy the pictures xxx

UPDATE: 26/12/13

Further goodies arrived from Santa on Christmas Eve, this time all the way from the USA! Santa sent me a lovely soap, to keep me fragrant, a Breaking Bad Moleskin Notebook and Breaking Bad Bath Salts!

Thanks again Santa, you're the gift that keeps on giving!

UPDATED AGAIN! 3/1/14

I could scarcely believe my eyes when yet 2 more packages turned up from Santa this morning! My Santa clearly doesn't have an "off" button! Today I received a fantastic Breaking Bad wallet (which my boyfriend is already eyeing up!) and some Shellac in the shade Studio White, which I've been wanting for ages, as it lets you do a soft and natural French Polish, which will be great when I start my new job in a few weeks time! Thanks again Santa!!!

By the way Santa - my family all played Apples to Apples over Christmas and we thought it was really fun. I have also made macaroons twice so far - I need more practice yet, but I'm getting there with them!

ANOTHER UPDATE 6/1/14

Surely you are finished now Santa? This can't go on! Another adorable gift arrived in the post from you today - completely unexpected. A reddit Snoo Plushie and a reddit sticker! I am not usually a soft toy fan but I actually really like this and I'm going to put the Plushie in my car so that he can drive around with me! Thanks again.

PS: I thought you might like to see that my cat Daisy also likes the hot water bottle you sent me!
