My Santa is from Portland! And what did I know about Portland before this exchange? Bugger all, I can only assume it is where they make port, or at least have a port. :P

I opened the package and there was a pencil case that said "stuff" on the front. I couldn't think of a more accurate title XD inside was indeed stuff.

There was a post card "city of roses" turns out my Santa is still new to Portland, coincidence because I am still new to my home town too.

3 stickers so now I know Portland is in Oregon, which is shaped like a.... not quite sure how to describe it but now I know another state shape besides Texas. Also place called Powell's city of books. I am secretly hoping the city is literally made of books but I highly doubt it.

Cutest mini nail files. Didn't know you can have ones this small and cute!

Portland Chocolate!! You know me so well <3

Portland Bee balm. How do you know my lips crack easily?! :o I love this one because it feels more natural with the use of beeswax.

Finally, a book about Portland. This is my favourite item as it gives lots of information, and not just general typical tourist info, but actual stuff about Portland. Such as the rain (speaking of which it is raining right now in the UK... no surprises there) nickname city with bits of history and fun bits as to why it is known by so many names, tater tots... wait.... did it just say TATER TOTS?!?!?! Also known in Australia as potato gems, one of my fav food items that for some reason I can't find in the UK. So are you telling me, tater tots are such a big thing in Portland they dedicated a whole section about it?

I am sold, PORTLAND HERE I COME!!!!

But husband not letting me T__T Totally want to visit it one day!

Thank you so much Santa for sharing a part of your home town with me. :) I really enjoy learning more about the world.
