I opened up the small velvet pouch to reveal this perfect sphere, I held it to the light to check out the amazing colors inside, my wife was the first to recognize it looked like letters in the pattern but it wasn't until I sat it on my dark countertop that I realized my initials were inside the glass! I've never seen anything like it before. A truly unique and awesome gift, I couldn't have asked for a better Santa! Thanks fellow Redditor!
