OMG. YOU GUYS.

I never got a Christmas SS 2013 gift nor rematched, so let's just say I was excited to sign up for this exchange and would have settled for at least one tiny gift.

But no.

My Arbitray Day Santa went ABOVE AND BEYOND!!!

LadyBoss_1, if you are reading this, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I also apologize it took me so long to post. 1) I was in the middle of finals week, which I take very, VERY seriously 2) My phone also decided to break last week. I had to steal my brother's to snap some photos 3) Not to nitpick, but sometimes I really wish RGifts would update its photo system! I'm one of those people that will spend lots of time taking photos to reflect my santa's hard work, and when I know it will take some time to upload I will tend to put it off til late in the game. But all that aside,

THIS GIFT IS AMAZING!!!

First to arrive was a sweet message from my santa. Apparently we have a lot in common, and I was linked to an awesome Yoga channel! Yay!

Second to arrive was two books from my reading list which my Santa used her PaperBackSwap credits on! I've never heard of PaperBackSwap, but am looking forward to using it now!!! Needless to say, I was so excited, I've read the two books already and love them (I am a speed reader).

Next to arrive was this Priority Mail Box filled with gifts! I could not believe how much stuff my Santa fit in there. As I was opening it, I almost wanted to cry as I pulled out gift after gift from this seemingly bottomless box because my santa had put so much thought into everything. Each gift was specific to me and I felt like my santa really got me. Here's a list of what I got, pictured in the Photos section:

- Homemade Lavendar Rose bath salts/bombs/feet soak. I am definitely going to be giving myself a spa day now that finals are over. LAVENDER and ROSE are my two most favorite scents ever! Plus for being homemade. Love Love Love all of this so much!!!

- Beautiful blue blouse and some jewelry! The note said that my santa meant to buy a lavender one but it turned out blue, but I love it nonetheless! I love the color and it looks great on me (Sorry, I am picture shy heehee). The bracelet and earrings are things I would totally have picked out for myself if I were browsing a thrift/antique shop (something we share in common)! I hope you have an awesome time making jewelry in the future too! The earrings you made are so adorable and completely my style<3

- FEET FEET FEET. I am a dancer of 20 years, so the fact that my santa got me a ton of feet-spoiling goodness makes me (and my feet) so happy. My feet are so neglected/bruised/battered on a regular basis, it's time for me to be nice to them and give 'em some lovin'

- School supplies! So amazing! A student can never have too much school supplies! I am looking forward to using all of these, especially since I am taking summer quarter. Best part was the stethoscope! TBH I do not know if DPT's need these either, but I am also considering applying for a nurse practitioner program instead. If I do, then these will definitely come in handy!

- ALL DA DARK CHOCO. I recently went paleo and have been loving 85%+ dark chocolate. I'm sorry to say not all of the chocolate received managed to make it into the photo and ended up in my stomach instead!

- After all of the goodies in the Priority Box arrived, I received ANOTHER gift! It was a bunch of vintage comic books my santa bought for me on ebay!!! I am a huge comic book reader and was so excited when I opened these. I squealed like a little girl and my brother had to run over from the next room to check if I was alright. Pictured are only about half since my brother (who got me into comic books) kidnapped/borrowed some to read.

- Beautiful note/letter!!! I had so much fun reading it and was touched by how much thought you put into my gift and how much it related to each of my interests. The theme of Old+found, New, and Made was well-planned out and really pulled everything together.

I really don't know what to say. Whoever my next santa is next Christmas has a HUGE bar set for them. This is by far one of the most amazing gifts I could ever have hoped to receive on redditgifts, and I just want to give a big internet hug to my santa, LadyBoss_1. You da best!!! <3
