My Santa shipped late but this was totally worth the wait!

Included were two of her favorite books, neither of which I have read. They'll be added to the pile on my nightstand and I will be rearranging the stack to bring these two near the top!

The tea is also quite exciting as I am still very new to exploring loose leaf teas. Right now my nose is stuffy from allergies so I couldn't get a good sense of the flavor.

Finally, I had waited to open the last wrapped bit because when I picked it up I heard the tell tale sound of ceramic bits sliding across one another. Broken, it had to be broken. I cheered myself up with the thought that once glued back together, whatever mug my Santa sent would still be lovely.

BUT WAIT! It was perfectly sound! The sound I'd heard was actually the saucer sliding a tiny bit on the bottom of the cup. This is a really awesome set and I've never seen anything quite like it. The cup is smaller than most of the mugs I have at home but the integrated strainer and paired saucer are perfect. It's a great color, fantastic glaze, and I love the delicate painted crane.

Thank you Santa for truly surprising me!
