I was going to wait til Christmas to open my gift, but curiosity got the best of me. This was amazing to open from start to finish! Santa took the time to carefully wrap each item in cute pink and green tissue paper, then put them in a gift box, then she gift wrapped each box, then bubble wrapped each gift box! Not only that she put all of the gifts and put even more bubble wrap inside a large reusable gift box which I will definitely use. She also put a letter on top of the presents letting me know she wanted to send items that would give me a taste of her hometown, and just the letter got me excited.

After my youngest cat, Jiji, examined the gifts, I got to open them. The first gift I opened was a bottle of Pure Ohio maple syrup, which I'll use not only on pancakes, but while baking some yummy treats. The second gift was a handmade Reddit Secret Santa ornament! I got teary eyed that she took the time to make me something that will be used year after year. Cue even more tears when I opened another box and inside was another handmade ornament. This time it had a drawing of my cats and my husband and I, and all of our names on it! The cats are also doing things they both normally do - Jiji is playing, and Cleo is stretching. We don't have any kind of family ornament, and now we do thanks to a wonderful Santa. That would have been enough to make me happy, but she sent more presents. Gift four was a bag of whisky sticks, Santa's favorite snack. They remind me a little bit of honey mustard pretzels with a spicy kick at the end. I don't think they'll last very long. Last but not least, she sent me a set of gifts made by a good friend of her's. A peppermint mocha lip balm (yum!), an elderberry syrup kit, and a cinnamon latte sugar scrub (can't wait to try this).

Thank you so much for everything you did Santa! I can't wait to try everything out, and I already put the cute ornaments on my tree. I love everything and I hope you have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!
