I'm quite late to the party but hey, trust me, this post is worth to read. When my santa told me he preparing a "local loot crate" kind of gift, I was a liiittle bit confused. And since the packages (yes, plural) had to make it all the way from the US to Europe, it took I while until I got what he meant by it.

Now, check out the photos. As you might see, my santa is from Sacramento - a place I know nothing (okay, I knew it exists, but that's it) until now. But with this gift, everything changed. I got fully "sacramentonized" with a whole load of tourist-gifts from the area (shirts, memory pennies, fricking gold, etc. etc). Already sounds reaaally great? It doesn't stop here!

I mentioned that I like local snacks, so I got hooked up with some nice sweet and savory things (half of them gone already, whoops). I further got local brochures and a recent newspaper (Sacramento seems to be a tiny bit more interesting than my tiny hometown, who would have guessed?). And now comes the true biggy: my santa hand-made a huge (check the pictures, it is HUGE) photo-album full of information, photos and crafty things from Sacramento.

Honestly, this is the best secret santa gif I ever got! Thanks Ryan for putting a buttload of effort into this, it was really worth it - I love it!

Ps: I know feel that I should visit Sacramento soon :D
