In Love With My Secret Blogger Santa.

Seeing that this Christmas is all over the place, I was really excited to join up with Laurel & RA's Secret Blogger Santa - and I'm loving it. I really enjoyed attempting to think up random mini gifts for my own mystery blogger, which has been much harder than I anticipated.

The first gift that I recieved was a gorgeous little photo montage, showing all of the states I'll be visiting during my USA Contiki next year.

Aly's USA Contiki

Today I recieved a hand-made "SBS Insider’s Guide to London" brochure, full of handy hints about the grand ol' city I'll be moving to: helpful directions, best eats & best pubs.

Once again, they hit the nail on the head with the perfect gift!

I'll admit it: I'm smitten with my Santa, I really am. They've gone to the trouble of learning more about me, of finding out what is going on in my life (as if I'd let you forget about that!) and creating really personalised gifts. I love it. Am touched. I think it, and they, are grand.

I know that like any truly awesome super hero blogger, you have to keep your identity anoymous for just a little while longer. (Surely you'll be outing yourself at some point, right? Yes? Please?)

Whatever the case, and whoever you are, I love you. The End.

    I wish I could say it was me, but I'm having a complete and utter creativity block where my own SBS recipient is concerned. I don't think I will ever tell her who I am. I suck.

    And this is why I didn't do SBS. Whoever I got would have been very disappointed with my crappy gifts!!

    Hooray for the cherry blossom photo in your montage! You must meet up with me when you're in DC.

    That is a very thoughtful gift! I'm sure it will be very helpful, I wish someone would have made that for me when I moved!

    It's funny, I never think of anyone wanting to take a Contiki tour of the U.S.

    That is SO fun! I will have to be sure to do something like that next year. Your American photo montage is great, though I admit I'm not quite sure where all of those places are, haha.

    I think my Secret Blogger Santa is starting a petition to have me banned from future festivites because my gifts are crappy. But I'm making up for it with a good last gift. I hope.
