my poor parcel post deliverer.. not only did i get a giant polystyrene box of frozen food delivered today but I also got my secret santa gift! I felt pretty sheepish watching him struggle to my door with the two boxes.

ANYWAY, got into the box and found an amazing array of coloured tissue paper :3 (see fig. 1) of which I gave a piece to my geriatric cat Missy, although she was much more interested in wondering why I wasn't giving her dinner than playing with tissue paper (see fig. 2)

First i found a lovely card which i went to read first until i saw the big spoilers sign and put it aside for after prezzie opening.

digging under a few more gloriously gorgeous tissue paper layers and I found an ADORABLE bird toy, I haven't seen anything like it here in Australia and it is sooooo cute. It's a wreath with stars and bells (see fig. 3), I got some seed sticks from work secret santa and gave them to my cockatiels so this was earmarked for Bowie, who decided she matched very well with it and was quite happy with the offering (see fig. 4)

digging a little further and I find some pretty awesome snacks, Washington D.C. chocolate which is amazing to me being a never-left-the-country Aussie aaaaaand, perhaps even more exciting... SPACE ICE CREAM!!! I'm too nervous to eat it yet but i have a killer sweet tooth so i can garuntee i'll get into it soon ;) (see fig. 5)

Golly what lovely gifts i think as i remove some more tissue paper, expecting to hit the bottom of the box, but NO! MORE! spoilt KatePlate :3 A rarity (MLP:FiM) necklack for kids, but if i put it on the longest setting it sits nicely (shortest hole is like a choker but is still doable) she's my favourite pony and I love her! also FRIGGEN MY LITTLE PONY COLOUR GEL PENS. seriously, i felt like a 4 year old getting so exited over GEL PENS but ohhhh my, i'm heading back to uni to do some more study in Feb and the best way to motivate myself to take notes is using different colours so these are going in my pencil case for uni now and will be my primary pens for the semester!!! (see fig. 6)

Smiling like an idiot I pulled out some more colour co-ordinated (seriously it was all pink, white and silver it was ADORABLE and I loved it) and found ANOTHER present. An adorable cute purple apron, to answer your thought in the card I actually really love baking and I don't have an apron and I am terribly messy, i usually cover myself in flour and ruin my clothes so i'm stoked! (see fig. 7)

All of my presents were perfect! Every. Single. One.

Thank you so much santa :) I sincerely hope your santa gives you such a beautifully wrapped and thought out gift <3

Everything together (see fig. 8)
