I've been working away all week and came home today - a horrendous 5 hour drive which should of been about 3, but getting to open my gift made it so much better!

I told Santa that i'm pretty much obsessed with Japanese culture and am planning a visit in March.

I opened the box which was beautifully wrapped inside! there were lots of lovely wrapped gifts inside. A note from Santa with another present taped to the back - a USB stick which said "for your plane journey" I plugged it in to find it full of studio Ghibli films!!! Perfect - since I still haven't watched all of them!

The rest of the gifts were:

A Totoro Tshirt! A Totoro mug!!! A book of Tokyo places to visit and maps made by 60 creatives (this is so up my street, I love the map, I think i'll actually frame it) Chocolates Catnip sardines for my cat Tsuki (she said thank you she loves them!) and last but not least - a framed Ghibli spirited away poster with Tsuki photoshopped into it chewing the corner - we laughed so much! And in true Tsuki fashion - she couldn't help but chew the box too!!!

A massive thank you Santa, the gifts are amazing! you've made my week.

I'll have to get you a souvenir when I go!
