I'll start by saying that I was completely blown away by how thoughtful and generous my Secret Santa was with my gifts for this year! They were sent to me all the way from Ireland (I live in the US), and when I opened the envelope, I just couldn't believe what I saw.

I'm a HUGE Harry Potter fan, but as a Slytherin, it can sometimes be difficult to find good merchandise (I swear, we're not all evil!). So I was thrilled to see all of the wonderful gifts that my Secret Santa had sent to me:

Paper straws with cute Harry Potter characters on them

An Ireland pin!

A HP compact mirror

Three HP noteooks

Slytherin SOCKS (OMG)

A Slytherin brush

A Slytherin banner, which I am proudly going to display above my desk!

Again, thank you SO much, Secret Santa! You've made this Slytherin very happy, and I'm casting a spell of thanks and good wishes for you!
