So I was away a couple of days on a business trip and when I returned, I was happy to see a piece of mail from the other side of the country (Vancouver, BC).

I opened it to find one of the coolest and most touching gifts I have ever received, and on a zero credit exchange to boot.

I mentioned in my preferences that I would like any magnets appropriate for sticking my 3 girls' artwork on our fridge. Well, my santa delivered way beyond my expectations!

Inside a sweet little gift bag was a handful of stickers for my daughters (they're playing with them now and love them) as well as 2 wrapped magnets. The note inside mentioned that my santa made a little extra something for me.

I opened the first little package and found an awesome Vancouver magnet. Love it!

I opened the second little package and I see something familiar. My santa went to my Facebook profile, and pulled one of my public images. It is a scanned image of a drawing that my oldest daughter made of me years ago. My santa made a magnet of a drawing my daughter made of me! Holy crap!

This is extra touching as the drawing reminds me of another drawing she made that became extra special to us last year. Last year (almost exactly a year ago), my mother fell ill and lost her battles with life. My oldest daughter had drawn a sweet drawing of her gramma with a word bubble caption thingie that said "I love you Katie". It was the sweetest thing and became a very treasured drawing in our family. It was drawn (coloured with markers) in the same style and around the same time as the drawing that my santa used for the personalized magnet.

Thank you so much santa. You really touched my heart with this gift!
