My Santa was exactly the kind of Santa one wishes for when signing up for these exchanges. She messaged me immediately after matching and asked clarifying questions without telling me where she is from. Then she told me my gift would be a little late, but she sent me something else from amazon to make up for it. She didn't have to do that at all, but it was sweet nonetheless!

So one afternoon I received a package with delicious peppermint tea and a nice note. We tried it right away - I've never had such strong herbal tea before! I could feel the fresh peppermint tingle all over.

And then the actual package came, just as I was leaving for a 2 week trip. And SURPRISE! It was from Rome. How exciting!

To understand how absolutely perfect the gift is I should mention that I asked for pajamas that somehow represented my Santa's country. I honestly had no idea what to expect... Not sure what I would have sent. But Santa knew! I received the coolest pajamas that also fit perfectly. Just look at the picture. It speaks for itself. How perfect are they?!? Can there be more ITALIAN pajamas than those?!? I don't think so. Also, of course I love pasta!

There were 2 postcards from Rome and a kind note in the package as well - that was very nice, too! I'm sorry for the delayed thank you post due to travels. I absolutely love my gift and will wear it often with a smile and a cup of peppermint tea.
