So sorry about the clickbaity title ! But it's true I was a bit disappointed by the previous exchange... (Not my Santa though, he was awesome !) My giftee had a raging case of Vagueitis and Blankonosis, and wasn't communicative at all, ending the exchange with a dry one-liner without any pics on the Gallery Post... I almost didn't register for Secret Santa in time !

Thank Gods I did register eventually, because my Santa was fantastic ! I receive from Canada a massive package full of stuff, for me, but also for my whole family ! Each of the presents was thoughtful, with an emphasize on being locally crafted ! We received :

-a extremely locally crafted handknitted wollen hat depicting the Battle of Hoth that will be the envy of all my nerdy friends :)

-an awesomely named "Cord Taco" in leather, made by Keri V Leatherworks

-a series of magnets designed by people suffering from developmental disabilities, from the Nina Hagerty Centre for Arts

-a deck of playing cards designed by Jason Blower, an artist from Edmonton

-Chapstick and Aftershave Soothing balm

-LEGOs and a toy car for the boys ! VERY appreciated !

-a nice drawing from my Santa's daughter

-and finally a contribution to Internet Cat Tax, in the form of a feline christmas card :)

(NOT APPEARING : a candy bar, unfortunately eaten by the time of the picture

And you know what is the best about this present ? IT'S ONLY THE FIRST ONE!

TO BE CONTINUED WHEN THE OTHER ONE ARRIVES !

UPDATE !

I received a really really really cool LEGO Space Shuttle ! As a Space and LEGO fan, this is pretty spot-on ! THANKS A MILLION SANTA !!!
