I mentioned that I am becoming more interested in minimalism and Japanese decor as I "mature", so I was very pleased to receive beautiful Japanese pillows.

I also got the book "Punch Fear in the Face" which I really look forward to reading. I am very interested in self-growth these days and I think the first two gifts really play into that.

Then, to not get too serious, my gift finished off with Simpsons shot glasses and a Toronto Blue Jays magnet. Two of my favorite things, and they offer a fun juxtaposition to the first two gifts.

I could not have collected a better group of things for myself if I had tried.
