My SS prepared a HP themed present which is absolutely perfect for me.

The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook - I actually saw this on Black Friday & was tempted to get it but ended up spending too much on clothes, so this was SUCH a nice surprise. My sister and I will definitely have fun with the HP-themed recipes since we love cooking and trying out new recipes. I also took a quick peek through the book already and I love how the author explains how she was inspired by different scenes/parts of the book (with actual excerpts from the novels) when she came up with the idea for a recipe (super neat!). Another detail that I love about this cookbook, how the pages have ragged edges so it's like you just pulled it out of Hogwarts library.

Harry Potter Wizard Wand Brush Set - THIS WAS THE BEST SURPRISE FOR ME. I don't know how SS knew that I needed makeup brushes (I did mention I like beauty/makeup but I'm actually in need of new brushes so this was PERFECT). I actually never saw these before either, they are these absolutely gorgeous silver, dainty, detailed fine brushes modelled after the wands of key characters in HP (Harry, Hermione, Dumbledore, You-Know-Who). I was also quite impressed with the quality, the wizard wand brushes are made of metal and have quite a bit of weight to them. So nice. This is such a genius idea for a gift, I might have to get a set for a friend too. - Sits in front of vanity, opens makeup palette, Accio, makeup wand. -

The final gift was a Burt's Bees Spa Collection set, complete with a detoxifying charcoal sheet mask, a moisturizing lip mask, lip balm, cuticle cream, and a natural soy candle. I didn't open the others yet but the 'Lavender Fields' soy candle has a lovely scent (and it doesn't smell too artificial either) - can't wait to burn this candle! I thought this was a really thoughtful gift since the packaging of Burt's Bees actually reminds me of HP with the classic packaging (the Gryffindor colours aha). Can't wait to pamper myself over the holidays with this cute self-care package. Also, as a skincare junkie, I haven't tried Burt's Bees masks before and am so excited to try it out!

Finally, this might have been really long but I just want to say that it was such a wonderful, detailed and cohesive gift well thought-out for a HP fan! THANK YOU SO MUCH, I couldn't have asked for a better SS (and in my first year participating too). I'm already looking forward to next year. HAPPY HOLIDAYS, ADRIC (I don't know your reddit u/n so I hope this is okay)! I hope you got a wonderful SS too, also greetings from Toronto!
