Last night I received my Secret Santa gift, a Mini Art Painting Set. Acrylic paints, small paintbrushes, and little canvases. "Well this is fun," I thought. Something unique, and I started thinking of what I would paint on the tiny canvases. I was appreciative for the gift, I had already sent mine out to my giftee, so Secret Santa was completed. Little did I know...

Today, I get home to another package. I figured it was something I had ordered for my regular Christmas shopping. As I opened it I was surprised with five...yes, five wrapped gifts. Holy crap, my secret Santa wasn't finished. I'm just going to list them off first and then get to the thank you (although "thank you" is putting it mildly).

As I mentioned, the mini painting set. All the tools for painting expect miniaturized! Very cute, fun, and unique.

A Chainmate pocket chainsaw. Basically a hand tool with grips on each end to use for cutting wood. I love camping, and what would camping be without a campfire, so this will definitely get some use and I can't wait to try it out.

A tea infuser that looks like a little person. I drink a lot of tea in the winter, so this will definitely come in handy. And I'm sure it will be fun to drown the little guy in a mug regularly.

The LifeStraw personal water filter. I've heard about this for a while and have always meant to buy one. Like I said I camp a lot, and I also like to be prepared for any emergency situation (including but not limited to the zombie apocalypse). Now I can have clean drinking water anywhere I go!

A book that I absolutely cannot wait to read. "The Psychopath Inside - A Neuroscientist's Personal Journey into the Dark Side of the Brain." I've always been interested in psychology, sociology, neurology, etc., and am fascinated with psychopathy. I can already tell this will be a book I won't be able to put down. And finally...

A Kindle Fire HD!!! Yes you read that right, a friggin Kindle Fire! As if these other gifts weren't generous and thoughtful enough! I was speechless when I opened it, and I still can't believe it. Obviously I am incredibly grateful, appreciative, and awed by my Santa's generosity.

A thank you hardly seems like enough, but thank you!!! This was completely unnecessary, but enormously appreciated! Its not even the value of the gifts that means the most (though that's certainly not overlooked), but how much thought was behind them. I always find the most fun gifts to be the ones that you didn't even know you wanted, and that's exactly what I got. Some of these I didn't even know existed, but I already can't wait to use them!

I really don't know what else to say, but again, thank you Kristyn!!! Just...thank you!
