I was BEYOND exited when I received a huge, heavy box on my doorstep today. I opened the box to find a bunch of individually wrapped gifts which made the whole thing feel like christmas day. I definitely rambled in my exchange preferences so had no idea what to expect but OMG my Santa did not disappoint!

I am obsessed with candles and scented soaps and they included ones they knew I would love and some silly soaps too. Not to mention they made the whole box smell like christmas trees and it was THE BEST. One of them is a Habersham no light candle and its incredible. I had previously never heard of them so i'm super excited to add it to my collection and I will definitely be looking up some more.

In a separate box inside this one, there was a huge selection of fun candies and treats. I mentioned that I like regional snacks and that I want to one day go to Japan and buy a gazillion unnecessary cute things. I received a full bag of green tea kitkats (one of my absolute favorite treats ever), sushi candy, wasabi candy, candy ciggs (i used to love these as a kid), bacon soap, awesome Edvard Munch bandages and best of all FIVE Japanese candy kits! Iv'e watched people make a ton of these on youtube so I'm so excited to do them myself.

I mentioned my Fiance and I like to collect fun mugs and they sent me an amazing heat activated Van Gogh one (nice nod to my art background) and then a MASSIVE half gallon mug that had us laughing as soon as we opened it. I also wrote that I'm working on some art pieces and they sent the cutest little canvases and easel and I just love how it looks in my studio and can't wait to use them. And finally, what may be the sweetest part, they sent 2 "World's Best Cat" awards for our girls, that we will be displaying proudly in our living room, for all to see.

Thank you so much Santa, whoever you are, for the incredibly thoughtful and fun gifts. You've definitely set the bar high!
