On April 1, 2015, I received a wonderful package from my Magnets 2015 Secret Santa! I received it super quick because the package had just been shipped via DHL on March 30, 2015!

My Secret Santa, Giselle, was so kind and completely wonderful! She sent me five [5] different magnets, two [2] souvenirs, PLUS she wrote me a letter on 11 cute notecards explaining the origins of each item and put little sticky note labels on each magnet so I could know which item the explanation belonged to!

Magnets:

Sombrero de charro - Mexican Hats that are worn by Mariachi Musicians and Charros who take part in Charrería. Calavera - Human Skulls that that can be made from sugar, chocolate, or clay. They are used in celebrating Día de Muertos [Day of the Dead]. Aztec Calendar - Sculpture known as the "Sun Stone," honors the Sun God, Tonatiuh. Chiapaneca - Demonyn for a woman who lives in Mexican State of Chiapas. This magnet can be seen as wearing the traditional colorful dress worn by Chiapan women. Alebrije - Sculptures of brightly colored whimsical creatures. They originated in the Mexican State of Oaxaca.

Souvenirs:

Luchador - Mexican Wrestler, inspired by El Santo ["The Saint,"] a Mexican Wrestler from the 1950s. Rag Doll - Traditional Mexican Rag Doll, from Oaxaca, that is made with different colorful fabrics.

I absolutely love everything that I received! Everything was so bright and colorful! Some of the items even had the color Purple on them and that is my favorite color!

Giselle, thank you for putting love and care into picking out each item and explaining what they are in your letter! You have made my first time participating in a RedditGifts exchange AMAZING!!

I hope I can visit Mexico sometime, it would be really nice to meet you!

Thank you, again, for the wonderful gifts!
