A bit of background first. I mentioned that I recently moved to Australia and that I enjoy going to the beach on weekends whenever I can. I also mentioned that I'm a coffee lover and that one of the best gifts I’ve received was a sports car driving experience. One of my favorite video games is The Need For Speed.

I am just moving to a new place and I don’t have much, so anything was more than welcome. This is my first Secret Santa experience and to be honest, I was more than happy receiving any small gift.

However, my expectations were greatly surpassed. I was speechless when I received and opened my gift, as the package I opened included many gifts! They were all really thoughtful and perfectly combined together!

First of all there was a “emergency coffee kit”, which included a mug with bell “ring bell in case of emergency” and a coffee mix “break glass”. I had good laugh when I saw it. I might ring the bell soon!

Then there was a complete beach kit, which included swim shorts, flip flops, beach towel and a Ford t-shirt (car reference hahaha!). Not only all of the items are really useful (and a great welcome to Australia I must say!) but their color/design also match perfectly together!!! (As can be seen in the picture). My favorite color is blue and all the item have a blueish color on them too!

Funny thing is that -and I never mentioned this- I was looking forward to get new swim shorts because the ones I have are in used and abused condition. So it was just perfect!! I already use them on the weekend and will definitely use them a lot during this summer!

Thanks so much secret Santa!!! You certainly put a lot of thought in every item of the gift, I really appreciate it! You made my christmas! I'm away from most of my friends and family, so it was something special to receive a great gift from a secret santa and also a wonderful welcome to Australia.

Wishing you a merry christmas and an excellent 2018, and thanks so much again!!
