I have the best Secret Santa EVER! I am a food nerd and love to try anything new. I also like to try different things and experience different cultures. My SS got it right on all angles!!! This year my amazing Secret Santa was all the way in Krakow, Poland. I love that so much thought was put into this gift - my SS wanted to tell me a bit about where they live and go to school. The town is home to one of the oldest universities in the world! How lucky!

First, let me say that I had my work address on the parcel, so I did not receive the gift until today. I have been on holidays since January 4th. The package must have arrive a day after I left, as my co-worker has been dying to know what was inside the awesome package all the way from Poland!

My goodies started with sweets and treats! Chocolate from E Wedel - the oldest Polish factory producing Chocolate. The bar is dark chocolate with cherry filling. It looks absolutely yummy! I'm saving it for my hike this weekend. I also received treats from the Wawel company. These are similar to a caramel and super yummy.

The next indulgence I received was a tin of gingerbread - Torun Gingerbread. Famous in Poland and are in many legends. The have been produced since the middle ages - I think I have a fresh one though! The tin has a likeness of a Wawel Dragon on it - this dragon is a symbol of the city of Krakow.

Last - and most interesting! I was asked if there was anything I wanted from Poland by my SS. I pooled at the office, and we discussed the famous Bison Grass Vodka. I knew it would be difficult to received liquor - so never even dreamed that I would receive this in my parcel! I was beside myself when I saw this bottle wrapped in bubble wrap! Amazing!

The final treat - SS purchased a lovely pair of amber earrings from the Krakow Cloth Hall - Amber was transported from the Polish coast of the Baltic Sea. I had little knowledge of Poland's long relationship with Amber. It happens that Amber is one of my favourite gems! I am so lucky to have received such an amazing SS this year.

Thank you so much - every gift was just perfect and I really LOVE everything. I am putting Krakow on my bucket list now - thank you SS.
