I am just astounded by the thought and effort my Secret Santa put into my gifts. Each one is completely personal to me and each one is just... fantastic.

The first gift that arrived was the Lonely Planet guide to Germany. I've been saying since early this year that I want to move to Germany in 2015 - but have been having some issues with getting it all organised and feeling that I can do it. Well, this book is going to be invaluable to me in the next few months as it has reawakened my passion for the country and every time I flick through it I am reminded why I want to go. I plan to attack it with highlights and use it to thoroughly plan my journey and initial few months over there.

The cat toy is super cute and I know the kittens will LOVE it. Seriously they're going to lose their shit over it. One of them likes to play fetch so this will be great for him. I'll take it over this afternoon and get a video or two of them playing with it!

My SS must have figured I love the /r/britishproblems sub because this book is hilarious! I've flicked through already and found myself nodding along to the 'problems' inside!

The iTac2 pot is going to come in really handy when I start to do inverts and holds at pole - it's also not a grip aid my studio uses so it'll be great to take in and see how it works!

Mindfulness is a concept I've been interested in trying for my anxiety problems so I'm looking forward to giving this a go. 2015 will be an anxiety free year and this book will help so much.

When I opened the Nails Inc set I swore... it's incredible and so much above and beyond anything I thought I'd receive. I can't wait to try them out! The colours are absolutely gorgeous and are a great blend of office appropriate and party bling. To date I only have three mini bottles of Nails Inc (which came free in a magazine!) And one full sized bottle which was another gift so to get a box of six is amazing.

Finally - KNOPPERS! OMFG. Funny story time, I was actually about to post this all when a man knocked on my front door... with a box... with my username on... and I wondered "what the hell..?". When I saw the tag and the label on the box I burst into tears. It's so thoughtful and they taste so DAMN GOD. I actually spent the first four years of my life in Germany so these remind me of my childhood. I couldn't resist eating one before I took the photo

Thank you so so much cloudspewingrainbows. You are amazing and have fantastic taste. With these gifts you made my lazy, lonely and boring Sunday infinitely better and your gifts (apart from the Knoppers and the cats toy as they'll both be destroyed by hungry beasts soon!) Will hold a special place in my heart. Every time I read the books I'll remember that there are truly generous and kind people in the world. Thank you and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and the best new year. X
