This is my first secret Santa, and I tried really hard. I spent $50 on my giftee, and got no thanks. So I was disappointed. It took a while for my Santa to ship my gift, but when it was sent I was super excited.

I was a little disappointed when it turned up and it was something that I know is only about $4. But thinking about my wish list, its full of pricey items (wishes, after all) and the info I gave was detailed, but didn't really make a specific thing easy to pick out.

So they have gone through my amazon list, found a few items, made a connection and bought me my gift... 9 whisky stones, with a bag.

Which is not something I would buy myself, but is something I will definitely use. The more I think about it, the more it seems really thoughtful.

So santa got me two presents... 9 stones, and a chance to look at myself and reflect on the fact I was being a dick those 5 seconds where I was disappointed at the monetary value, because really. This gift is great for me, and assures I will do this again next year

Glass in the picture is from my Whisky advent calendar, all the mini bottles are from the 5 whisky advent calendars I currently have on the go right now. Whisky stones were definitely a perfect choice.

Thank you Santa

About 2 hours later, this gift got better as our postman came back with a second parcel with an awesome graphic novel of one of my favourite comic based films (my son has already stolen it though) and a lovely note too

Thanks again Secret Santa. You are awesome.
