I'm a teacher in the inner city and it's been an incredibly exhausting year. Of course, as soon as I go on break I get sick! I've been lying around feeling crappy for a few days so I was so delighted to get a present at my door today!

It's really hard for me to think of gift ideas for myself and this year I gave most people gift ideas for my class instead. For secret santa this time, I put many things that I was interested in and they really got me a lot of really nice presents that I never would've thought to get for myself!

I got a Hunger games Mockingjay pin. I love the Hunger games more than any adult really should and I've been really wanting something like this. I have a messenger bag that I take with me everywhere and this is going on that bag now.

I got a dvd of the Super Mario Bros show which I'm super excited for! I've never seen it before but I'm sure it's going to be crazy and 80's tastic.

I got some lovely blue earrings which I'll definitely be wearing to holiday festivities this week (and they remind me of Frozen!).

Because of my love for Frozen, I also got some Frozen jelly beans. And since I'm a chocoholic, I got some chocolates too!

Lastly I received some purple nail polish (my favorite color) and I really lovely handwritten note (with handwriting fit for /r/penmanshipporn).

As a first year teacher, it's really nice to get things for myself every now and then. I also really appreciate that these gifts came from a fellow teacher that lives pretty close to me!
