Let me preface this by saying that I've been having a tough 3 months. I'm job searching due to a toxic work environment and it's been weeks of unyielding stress and exhaustion. That's why these gifts from my Santa are some of the nicest, most thoughtful gifts I've received in a very long time, and they couldn't have come at a more needed time.

I received an AWESOME "Save the bees" tee shirt that I absolutely love! I'm a huge honeybee enthusiast and hope to have a few hives one day, and as some folks may (or may not!) know, they're in danger of dying out due to colony collapse. I will wear this shirt often :)

She also included a pocket guide of Amsterdam! My boyfriend and I are visiting Amsterdam this year on our very first vacation together (after 9 years of dating! Can you even believe it??) I'm HORRENDOUS at planning things, and this little book that is so easy to stash away in my bag will be so handy. I plan on dog earring the hell out of this book. She even gave me a few suggestions that I fully plan on taking up!

She also thoughtfully included a Leaf of Lothlorien brooch/necklace from the Lord of the Rings, which is my absolute favorite book/movie trilogy. The Lord of the Rings means a lot to me, and this is such an amazing gift.

My Santa also happens to be a tea enthusiast, her self and included a lovely set of tea sachets that I can't wait to try! I'm so excited!

She also included an awesome pack of cat toys for my boy Pretzel! I opened them up immediately for him, and he started playing with them right away!

The amount of thought put into every item is astounding, and honestly, I'm just so grateful. Thank you so much for everything, and for absolutely turning this hard week around for me. You're a treasure.
