First of all, this is the absolute fastest I have ever received a Secret Santa gift! and my Santa really knocked it out of the park in no time flat.

They researched me and found that I liked to do a variety of crafts, including designing my own clothes. So the first gift was something to help with that: a Croquis book! If you don't know what a croquis is, I'm sure you have a lot of company. It's an outline of the body, in pale printing, on which you sketch designs for clothes to play around with style, color, drape, etc. I've been meaning to make my own croquis for a while, and voila... Now I don't have to!

Because I said I liked jewel tones, and preferred practical items over doodads or tchotchkes, Santa sent a magnetic pin grabber. These are the absolute BEST invention for people who sew, as pins tend to scatter all over the place. This will keep them tidy (and keep them from falling on the floor). Then, to go along with the bowl, was a package of gorgeously colored pins. I almost don't want to take them out of the package and ruin the spectral beauty, but one can never have enough pins handy in the sewing room, so...

Thank you SO much, Santa! It's a fantastic present and I will think of you fondly when I use all of these things.

(P.S. I took a video showing all the colors in the package of pins but Reddit is not letting me upload it, so you'll have to take my word for it that these pins are sparkly and perfect)
