Gifting, Extreme Edition

So thanks to the wonders of [livejournal.com profile] ikel89's annual santa exchange, I just received a holiday gift from a "secret" santa. The packages from this tradition are always delightful, but this time my friend Anna ([livejournal.com profile] hamsterwoman) went to santa-extremes. To be "fair" about half of these gifts count as birthday presents for my January birthday instead of holiday gifts, but it's still utterly overwhelming (in a good way, of course).

It arrived on Monday, but it arrived quite late so I didn't even finish opening all of it until the following day!

In conclusion, Anna's level of generosity and good taste is too high for this world. Thank you again for bringing something sweet and happy to my December and my 2016. You're the best. And apparently my soulmate. ;)

A nice surprise

This week I received the gift package from [livejournal.com profile] polnaya_lipa, all the way from Russia.

In any case, it's been a really tough week with the foot surgery recovery and what seem to be hundreds of tasks to do at school, so this was a sweet treat amidst the negative. Thanks so much for your generosity, [livejournal.com profile] polnaya_lipa and thanks to [livejournal.com profile] ikel89, as well!
