I was really excited when I logged in to peruse my matches profile to put the finishing touches on my gift, and saw that my gift had been shipped! I checked the tracking and saw it expected to be delivered Friday the 13th! Then, I had checked it again this morning when I got up to get ready for work and saw that it was out for delivery today. Commence Mailbox stalking.

The first thing I found was a note from my "Santa" and he totally brought tears to my cynical eyes. He aptly picked up on the fact that I give all of myself to others, and there often is not much left for me. The gifts I was sent could not have been more perfect.

I got a set of two Purple Moleskin notebooks, which I have maybe not so secretly been dreaming of. As an aspiring writer, the tools are very important, and I also got an awesomely amazing pen to go with my notebooks!

Then, some chocolate covered espresso beans because, as my gifter said, it's not illegal to mix chocolate and coffee yet.

Then, a pair of awesome Batman socks, with CAPES!!! Now what is not recorded anywhere publicly is that, if I had to pick a favorite superhero, it would be Batman. And in the note, he called me a badass superhero. My little one, who is autistic and obsessed with capes, thinks my socks are the coolest thing ever!

Them, a set of brand new crochet hooks. I had mentioned in my likes and dislikes that I loved to crochet but that I hadn't had much time for it lately, and he said that sometimes something new can bring us back to an old hobby. I cannot wait to use them.

Thank you so much, sir. I have never before had a man so good at giving gifts! Maybe you can give my husband some pointers!
