Ok, first off i'm sorry to my previous two santas, but this year's santa has absolutely killed it. You win. Forever.

Everything about this gift is perfect... Right down to the way it was wrapped! It was so exciting to open, and see all my gifts nestled in their little box... and packing peanuts?! Fuggedaboudid! This chick uses lindt balls (my fave!) and haribo jellys to cushion the gifts! A much tastier option ;-) I love opening lots of little gifts as opposed to one big one, this was so exciting!

The first thing I unwrapped was a set of four super cute Christmas ornaments - At the moment there are 4 of us in the family, myself, my fiancee and our cat and dog so this is perfect! Everyone's getting their face smooshed into a heart and hung on the tree this year!

Next I opened a tin, and inside.... a note...my santa is opening an etsy store in the new year, and makes her own eyeshadows, how cool is that!? They're even pressed with cute little birds! Also I don't know if this is a coincidence or not, but these colours PERFECTLY match the palette of our engagement photos (and the colour scheme of our wedding) - I'm taking these to my makeup lady and i will wear these on my wedding day, they are gorgeous... I really love the purples and the sparkly black, but that dense coppery one is the BOMB. I always see people getting homemade items on here and I have sent them out twice myself. To recieve something this special from a stranger is just amazing - Thank you so much! Please message me on reddit when you start your store, i'll be your first review!

After running around the house finding the perfect light to photograph the eyeshadows, I opened Kit's present - He loves these treats and has never had this flavour, he was so into them! I'll pop on a video of him and buzz eating their presents - Buzz got a box of choc drops which was really 2 presents in one - the fun of unwrapping it and tearing off the tassles and eating the treats!

My last gift was a really nice block of chocolate from a artisan chocolate shop in wellington. It's dark, which is my favourite type, and very tasty! I currently have lindt 70% in the fridge and i'm not enjoying it - this 70%er is so much better!

Thanks so much Santa for this little box of excitement. So much effort went into this gift and to be honest i felt a little guilty receiving something this nice and well thought out - its like the pessimistic part of me thinks life's going to throw a curveball to make up for such generosity.

Love this exchange, love my santa, love my gift! Happy holidays everyone!
