Secret Santa, you knocked it out of the park!! I'm honestly blown away. Since this is my first exchange, I wasn't sure what to expect - worst case, no gift; best case, I figured I'd be looking at a gift card. Of course, the thought is what counts, but I was still a little apprehensive.

Well, hot damn, I honestly am debating if this should be my first AND last exchange, because this gift was so thoughtful and amazing (also incredibly on-brand for me, haha).

Firstly, I almost dropped the package when the UPS guy gave it to me, because I wasn't expecting a literal ten pound package to show up at my door! I was stunned. Then, after opening it to put under my tree, I saw some things weren't wrapped and slammed it shut again! I even taped it again, so I wouldn't open it until Christmas day (which is another reason for the delay, I'm sorry! I hope you saw the note I left)

You really nailed a bunch of my interests! The blanket is SO soft, and as you know, even though it's unseasonably warm now, the cold will be back with a vengeance soon! This will definitely help to keep things cozy. I'm also really excited to tuck into the coffee - they sound delicious, and I'm sure the reviews are right.

I'll definitely be sharing the candy, and hopefully a lot of treats and dishes from the two amazing cookbooks!! I'm excited to try out the GBBO cookbook, and you may not know it, but I've actually made stuff from the Thug Kitchen website before! I've thought about picking up their book, but never pulled the trigger.

Honestly, things have been a bit rough lately, and knowing that you really took the time to pick out such thoughtful, sweet gifts for an internet stranger has made my heart grow three sizes. I truly thank you so much, and I hope that your holidays and the new year/decade will be filled with great things!
