WOW.....I am truly taken aback and was not expecting such a wonderful and heartfelt hometown Santa. My husband and I have talked a few times about visiting Portland because there are no extra taxes for goods (we pay 12% in BC), but now I know that even if there were taxes, it has so much more to offer.

My generous and kind Santa knew I love food (8 months pregnant!) and sent me snacks and sauces of every flavour I could ever think of. Everything looks FANTASTIC!!

First, I received a jar of all locally made habanero jelly, mango jelly, inglehoffer Mustard, Beaver hot cream horseradish, and marionberry jam! I just had my first taste of Marionberry pie at Shari's in Bellingham and it was so yummy. I can't wait to try the jam and ALL the other sauces/spreads. I'm seriously drooling and we just ate buffet.

My Santa is also pregnancy friendly as she got me caffeine free Meyer lemon tea, Moonstruck Artisan chocolates, honey sticks (I'm bringing these with me in my hospital bag! THANK YOU!!!) and a darn cute onesie with the Portland airport carpet design on it. I will update when baby fits it :)

Lastly, my daughter was also spoiled with crayons and a princess coloring book which had her swirling with excitement :) I lied... That wasn't the end..... I also got a Thunderegg keychain - how cool!! It is going on my keys now!! And some awesome bumper stickers...LOVE IT ALL!!!!!!

Oh wait....and a freaking bag of Salt Water Taffy!

What a way to showcase Portland!! You should work for the tourism department :) everyone would want to go there.

THANK YOU SO SUPER MUCH MY AMAZING SANTA--you made this such a memorable exchange and make me want to go to Portland right after I get this kid outta me!
