It was disappointing to realise that my first Santa was gaming the system, and even though I mostly enjoy the giving side, it's always nice to receive something. I can't thank all the rematchers enough, you're all champs.

Anyway, while it looks like customs may have had the fun of unwrapping before me, mostly everything was still intact with the exception of one of the smarties boxes.

I first read the card provided which shows an amazing looking city in Venezuela called Caracas where my Santa is from. She suggested I visit one day, so Caracas is now on my todo list for travel.

Then I inspected this rad looking Vintage Kellogg's box. Looks like a perfect size and a great reusable container. Inside the box were some classic cereals that I'll looking forward to polishing off. They're seemingly more generous serving sizes than the ones we can get here in Australia.

Next I opened the only gift that was still well wrapped to find a recipe book called Meringue Magic. I don't think I've ever even considered all the ways you can cook with meringues, especially in a savory way! I'll definitely be trying Liquorice meringues - Oreo Style first.

Next I came across a Marvel Mug which includes some Chocolates and an awesome keyring. What an awesome little pack. I'm looking forward to inspecting the comic covers on the cup closer over a hot cuppa.

Then I unraveled a sweet shirt with a cartoon of a dolphin wearing a hoodie considering pizza. I'll be throwing this on over the weekend.

Last and certainly not least was a few sweets including Mini Smarties, Cocadinha da Bahia and some Ovomaltina. I'm particularly looking forward to trying out the Cocadinha's. I'm always keen to try new things.

Thanks so much again, what a great set of gifts.
