It was a delight to come back and do Secret Santa this year - and my Santa really delivered and brought a huge smile to my face this week!!

My Santa sent me a message shortly after assignments went out, to ask me a few questions. It was really exciting to receive a message, because it meant that my Santa was caring and thinking of me! I loved that. And then sure enough, they shipped awhile later and the many gifts arrived on Tuesday!

Santa was so sweet - she gift wrapped everything and left little notes on each one, explaining why she chose what she chose for me. It was so fun unwrapping everything! She used the likes and dislikes in my exchange preferences, the answers I'd given her in my message, and my actual Reddit comment history to pick out some awesome presents for me. So thorough!! She gave me:

a pair of Cat Lady socks, which are amazing

FOUR packs of earrings in different sizes and styles, which I love and have already started to wear out and about!

some cute little festive things from Bath & Body Works

a phone case (which does fit my phone, thank you Santa!!) that my SO saw and laughed at for a good five minutes straight (and then continued to laugh randomly throughout the evening when he remembered it existed)

sooooo many yummy Lindor chocolates that I've already started digging into!

a really awesome "What Would Jane Do?" book that has little inspirational phrases featuring different strong women and strong female characters, which I loved flipping through

a beautiful 2018-2019 planner, which I get to use as I start to plan my upcoming wedding

All that, plus a lovely handwritten card!!

Santa, thank you SO MUCH. Your gifts were so thoughtful and heartfelt, and I loved each and every one of them. And the little bonus notes you added to each one to explain your thought process as you selected them were delightful - I loved having that insight into why you chose what you chose for me! This was incredibly kind and really started off my holiday season on a wonderfully positive note. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
