Ok, so I am COVERED in shame, apologies for not rectifying my mistake earlier but I've been away from home since last weekend hadn't had time to photo and write a proper thank you

My astonishing Santa contacted me - right off the bat - and seemed lovely.

I got a few bits from my Amazon wish list that totalled about $20 so I thought that was it - so I posted... big mistake, HUGE mistake.

The Amazon items were actually lovely, organic super sour sweets, and a Cornell note system pad that I use for work.

I'd put in my profile how much I love elephants, I got some elephant related items - some fancy napkins and some nail art.

Now, this is the beauty of Arbitrary day - I'm not a nail gall but I've been thinking about these nail decals and have decided to book myself an appointment to get a proper mani and have them put on - I'm thinking a French mani with pure white on my right hand thumb and ring finger?

Last Sunday I picked up a box from my sorting office, which contained a WHOLE of lot of Scandi love - beautifully personalised gifts and postcards with handwritten notes.

All chosen with heartfelt thoughts, especially for me, from my amazing Santa from Norway.

I contacted RedditGifts asap to see if I could delete that post and write a fresh one - they told me updates would count as a new post so I hope this works...

So, back to the box of delights.

So each gift was wrapped in very classy paper in my favourite colours- it really does make a difference doesn't it?

In my profile, I had explained that I loved Reddit Gifts cos it gave me the opportunity to travel to places I may never have the opportunity to go.

I also said I would love gifts that were personal to Santa and their region.

One of the most touching things Santa did was to include handwritten postcards explaining the significance of each item.

Each postcard was by a Norwegian artist of significance and depicting important Norwegian culture - so for example, she explained one postcard was from Douvre - the place that inspired "In The Hall of the Mountain King" by Grieg, know in Norweigan as "Dovvegubbens Hall" - Funnily enough I completed a project on Greig at school, as a little co-inky-dinks.

Another card - was the best selling postcard in Norway - a b&w photo of a woman riding (in the non-smutty sense) a giant pig...

She sent me a beautiful card telling me a bit about herself and her boyf (hope he has a great time in LDN, but lucky you spending time in Sheffield - Hendos FTW) - the card was illustrated by a Norwegian artist, Tone Fossland, who Santa told me painted with her mouth.

Another card told me about a gift she had sent - some Leftsa. A traditional Norwegian potato bread, the recipe of which dates back to 1630 - Santa told me how to prepare it in different ways , I'm definitely trying out your cinnamon suggestion.

The is was so perfect because I had told Santa that I loved chocolate and regional food.

Santa sent me the jackpot of cocoa based goods - I now have in my fridge a Norwegian Kit Kat! I've always wanted to try one...always

I'm really torn between eating and keeping it - I want to have my Kit Kat and eat it!

Santa also sent me a range of different chocolates, including two MASSIVE family bars, some M&M type chocolates, a regular sized chocolate bar, a tube of chocolate caramels AS WELL as the Kit Kat.

Santa explained that Norwegians are very proud of their milk chocolate and that each one was manufactured by a famous Norwegian firm.

She also sent me her personal brand favourite dark chocolate as I told her that I loved dark chocolate.

I had told Santa how much I loved textiles and natural fabrics.

Now, all of this was already too much - astonishingly, Santa sent me a stunning, absolutely stunning 100% Norwegian wool seat-pad, in perfect colours for me - charcoal and light grey - depicting a moose.

Santa said that it's good for cars, seats or for standing-on, but I think it's too beautiful for that and will use it on my dressing-table chair.

It's just gorgeous - I will treasure these gifts forever, long after the chocolate has been scoffed , I will have these postcards and seat-pad to keep me warm in body, mind and soul

It won't let me upload all the pix for some reason, but here are some... to keep you going, I will try again to upload them all.
