My Santa did excellently. Today I got a medium sized box that had a little bit of heft to it. I scurried upstairs with it to our apartment and grabbed the nearest sharp implement so I could get my grubby little paws on whatever mysteries were inside.

The first thing I saw were two brick sized objects that were in brown packaging and wrapped with cellophane. Looked a bit like TV cocaine bricks. Turning them over revealed that they weren't cocaine but rather coffee. Two types of coffee from a roaster local to my Santa. This is good because caffeine is far more up my alley than cocaine. Though I guess a Scarface Christmas party could have been interesting.

Along with the coffee there was a french press. Another great item because my french press has slowly been dying (broken handle on it and the filter press has started letting grounds through). I'm really looking forward to having some later tonight.

In the non-coffee category Santa sent me an America's Test Kitchen cookbook for two. This will be great so I can cook some new stuff for my boyfriend. Plus America's Test Kitchen does really cool stuff. This is going to be fun to read through and find stuff to cook or just for recipe ideas.

Lastly there are two black t-shirts. One for both my boyfriend and me. This seems silly as a gift but it's a bit of an inside joke from my Santa that came from our correspondence.

I'm really happy with the gifts and appreciate the thought that went into them.

Thanks a bunch mlhenry!
