I described my favorite colors as pink and glitter, and after a little bit of trash talk back and forth about our NFL teams, my Cincinnati-area SS made it very clear to me he would not cater to my particular athletic tastes...but I was so surprised to see that was a bit of a fib!!! Let's start from the top of the box, though: each item had a sticky note attached with a short note explaining the thought behind it...which I loved! The first thing I opened was the adorable piggy mug, since my SS's city is the "city with pig stuff." I lol'd for sure. The next thing I opened was the awesome miniature Buddha statue with a scented satchel inside with a note that says, "As glittery as I'll go." I brought baby Buddha to work with me today to bring me some good vibes at work. (Were you able to stalk that from my social media accounts?? GOOD CALL, SS!) Next I pulled out the AWESOME pink Under Armour sweat band...SO ADORABLE!! Then, I opened the pink leather journal with a Bob Marley quote (in SPARKLY gold, no less) and I've been toying with journaling lately so this came at the perfect time! My SS saved the best part for last: a beautiful yellow frame with a note that said, "I figured you could decorate this in Squealers stuff :/ WHO DEY!" which I appreciated very, VERY much. I know exactly what picture I want to put in that frame.

Wilson wasn't sure what to think of the gifts...but he loved the paper they were wrapped in.

I am so pleased with this first exchange, and I don't think they could have chosen a better SS for me. Thank you SO, SO, SOOOOOO much for my thoughtful gifts!
