WOW!

I received a text from my housemate yesterday that this had come and had to suffer through the rest of my work day knowing my gift had arrived. I didn't think I did a great job filling out my redditgifts info and my reddit profile is that of a lurker so I am astounded that my santa got things so right.

Firstly, I got two chick flicks (my guilty pleasures) - The Holiday and Marley & Me. I watched The Holiday last night (Jude Law 4 life) but will have to hold off on Marley & Me for now because it's a bit emotionally distressing...

Then I was so thrilled to find GIN LIQUEUR CHOCOLATES. Santa combined two of my favourite things with this one and also nailed it with the cup + coaster combo that says "coffee keeps me going until it is acceptable to drink gin." Definitely one for the office.

Then there was even MORE in the box. I got an unbelievable Mexican cookbook that I can't wait to dive in to and start making some delicious food. Seriously, this gift is amazing. There was also an adorable elf plushie currently sitting pride of place on my Christmas tree, but who knows where he will end up tomorrow..

I received a beautiful tin box of shortbread and finally a beginners french knitting kit! I was so pleased with this because I'm always looking for new things and stuff to fidget with.

Overall I am so delighted with all of the gifts I received that I'm finding it hard to put in to words - my Reddit Secret Santa really pulled it out of the bag and made my year with their thoughtfulness - thank you!
