My Santa was great, made contact to say hi straight off the bat which I really appreciated, told me that shipping would probably take a while but everything takes a while to get to Australia.

I was super excited when the parcel pickup came in the mail, I had to wait a few days until I could pick it up but the wait was totally worth it.

So I picked up the parcel this morning and as I walked home I saw the customs declaration that said it was a mug. My first thought was that was a really good idea for such a vague exchange theme as "colours", and that I do need a new mug after my partner recently dropped a few of ours and we're now running short. I also love coffee, I can't live without good coffee so it's also closely aligned to my interests. As I walked I wondered about the colour, I guessed blue because my profile was very specific about my favourite types of blue ( I thought I maybe was too specific when I put in the hex code for the best shade of blue). Was it light blue, an ocean blue, a navy blue? Was it white with the word blue written in blue? Was it a picture of something blue?

Back at home I unwrapped the mug with giddy excitement to uncover THE PERFECT SHADE OF BLUE! My santa got me a mug with the Pantone colour swatch for the exact shade I said I loved the most :D

I'm so very pleased with this gift, it's useful, beautiful, thoughtful, and exceptionally clever!
