Just before my birthday I received a ridiculous (big) box through muggle post. Thank you to the most awesome wizard Santa ever! This was probably the best exchange/birthday gift I could have ever received. apple_crumble1 went above and beyond and I'm so grateful that she was my chosen one. ;)

Wait let me go back to the beginning. Firstly, I received a letter very early on covered in lots of stamps (akin to the way Molly Weasley sent a letter to the Dursleys). I had a good giggle about that and inside was my Hogwarts acceptance letter. I was so over the moon and thought that was my whole gift and was sooooooooo happy with just that. It was handmade by my Santa and the pages were even coffee stained for a parchment feel.

Then not long after my HP Santa sent me an email to make sure I had read the letter properly as she required some information from me for my other gifts. Silly me didn't take things literally so I sent my measurements off by virtual owl post. :D And then I patiently waited...

~End flash back within flash back~

So what was in the box you ask?

Firstly my little familiar a half-kneazle half-persian cat cutie! (Which I received for answering a quiz question in my Hogwarts letter)

And I couldn't go to school without some monies, so Gringotts sent me some galleons from my vault.

A beautifully boxed wand from Ollivander (Also handmade by apple_crumble1 ~~!)

Next was one of my books for school. A book of spells so I can start reading up before term starts. I loved it! BUT WAIT... what was this inside? Someone had slipped a diary (a very dangerous dark object) into my book. This horcrux had already been destroyed luckily for me. (Loving all the work my Santa has gone to, including some ink blots and the conversation between HP and the horcrux/Tom Riddle).

A box of treats from the Hogwarts Express snack trolley was next. Licorice wands, a chocolate frog and Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans.

I was also gifted a Marauders Map (also handmade). So much detail~! This will be VERY useful.

And a cup. But not an ordinary cup. A cup from divination class that doesn't seem to bode well for my future.

My Santa has so spoiled me! But wait, there's another large parcel at the bottom of the box.

Firstly there was a sorting hat song for me. Better be RAVENCLAW~!

And there appeared my Ravenclaw house tie, some Ravenclaw jewellery which I LOVE, especially the little claw ring.

And..

AND... AND!!!!

MY OWN RAVENCLAW WIZARDING ROBES.

WHICH MY SANTA MADE BY HERSELF~!!! WHAT??~?!!!!!!

I may or may not have put them on straight away and started bouncing around my office. (Until it got a bit too hot and I had to sit down to calm down again).

THANK YOU SANTA!! I love you, you are the most amazing gifter and I feel so blessed to be on the receiving end of your creativity and generosity.

I can't thank you enough. You have made me a very happy wizard.
