My secret santa was a box of goodies and unusual things from Israel, and was much more than I could have expected.

In the box, there was a lovely handwritten card wishing me a happy holiday and also describing all of the great things included in the box for me!

I received lots and lots of snacks, my favourite being the vanilla Halva which I really did enjoy!! There were also two dreidels, one being a novelty dreidel which I was told would entertain my dog when I used it. I didn't expect it to light up and start singing when I did, and my dog was barking and chasing it from the first second I used it! I also got a giant bottle opener fridge magnet which I can't use on my fridge as it is a silly built-in one...

There was also a couple of salt and pepper shakers and a novelty bath sponge which I have not shown here, but they are being put to good use.

The favourite item I received was the notepad you can see int he pictures, this was handmade especially for me and I just thought it was such a heartfelt gesture. I am currently using this to keep track of all my accounts and budgets, so thank you!

All in all, I could not have asked for a better gift and I definitely was taken aback by how much thought and effort had gone into it. I want to thank my secret santa from the bottom of the heart, because receiving it made me a little emotional to see the kindness of strangers.

I hope you had a fantastic Hanukkah!!

All the best,

Ben
