Wow. Completely blown away by such a generous gift :)

My gifter was nice enough to send me a message letting me know not to expect my gift to arrive until around the 28th if not later due to customs etc. So imagine my surprise when a huge box is delivered on Christmas Eve! Once I saw the friendly reddit address label, I had to rip into it. Wondering what the hell could be in such a large box, the anticipation was killing me and my oldest girl who was home for the day. Greeted with lots of wrapped presents, I was tempted for a fleeting moment to pop them under the tree and wait until Christmas day - what's one night right? But my daughter started to open one, so we went for gold :)

I received some gorgeous quilted pot holders/oven mitts, with a matching apron that incorporated my love of Downton Abbey. These were all put to use pretty well immediately while I cooked up a storm for Christmas lunch. These items were very much needed and much appreciated!

As if those presents weren't enough, I was blown away by not one but FOUR beautiful floral china tea cups with matching saucers. They are stunning and are my first set of actual nice tea cups as opposed to larger mug styles. I've used them all, but the blue one is becoming a firm favourite.

To go with the tea cups, was a box of Market Spice Tea which includes three different varieties, I am yet to try them but I will soon and it makes a nice personal touch for the area my secret santa is from (I think).

Thanks so much!
