OH GOODNESS.

7 lbs of whimsical amazery showed up at my door this afternoon! My wish list was a little off the wall, but my Santa delivered some lovely gifts that hit perfectly on my favorite things.

First was an amazing marauder's map bandanna. Ten points to Ravenclaw! Then, a perfectly sized rock from a far-away place. Santa's letter said "I am very fond of this rock, if you happen to look closely you can see the fabric of time unraveling in the patterns upon it." It does indeed have some strange shimmery patterns! Wonder if it's magic...?

Third (but not in taste!) some first-rate holiday snacks. The peppermint nougat combines great holiday flavor with perfect chewy texture and the Coconut Pandan Mochi is something I've never had before, but my husband and I agree - it's very tasty!

Fourth, an inspiring Terry Pratchett quote - my Santa's favorite - burned on a bamboo plaque. I'm going to display it proudly in my home office! I squealed when I opened it and read the words. Nestled nearby was an impressive little etched Discworld keychain. It's going on my work keys so I can have some whimsy in my work day.

Fifth, a pair of wintery bears - cheerful and heartwarming. They're really lovely, and I smile every time I look over at them.

Sixth, a teakwood candle with one of those awesome crackling wicks! I'm gonna burn it all down. The candle, that is. Eheheheh...

Finally, a set of Ravenclaw etched slate coasters and a charming cat design on an agate slice pendant! It's absolutely something I'd put on my pinterest board and never buy for myself out of worry that it was too frivolous, but now I have it and I'm going to wear it at every opportunity!

This gift was truly above and beyond in every way. Like one of the wrappers said - Best Gift Ever.
