The Great Christmas Exchange 2014

Wednesday, January 7, 2015

In 2013, I was a little over zealous with the Christmas exchanges, so much so that I became on a first name basis with the postal workers. This year, I decided to pick one and go all in. I can't thank Elizabeth and Samantha enough for all of the work they put into organizing The Great Christmas Exchange.

I drew Kindle who blogs over at Willow White, who is way more crafty than I could ever be (seriously, I have the scar from a run-in with a hot glue gun to prove it). As I was scrolling through her wishlist, I came across a quote print from one of my favorite hymns, Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing and knew that one of us had to have it. What better way than to start the new year off right than with motivation and comfort? And also, who doesn't need a Sugar Paper for Target planner? 

My secret santa is still a secret. If you are reading this post, thank you so much for the Starbucks tumbler! I literally take it with me everywhere  and it keeps the ice in my drink cold from morning until lunch and then again until I go home. You summed me up in a nutshell in your sweet note: "Harness your inner Loreli Gilmore and soak up as much coffee this Christmas as you can!"

I love blogging secret santas because I not only get to shop for Christmas gifts, but I get to know fellow bloggers so well (and put my sleuthing skills to good use finding the perfect gifts.)

I LOVE that tumbler!

Me too! I love that it keeps my water really cold while I'm at work. It makes drinking the recommended 8 glasses of water a day so easy.

Thank you so much to you and Samantha for organizing this! Such a success! And I do hope that she reveals herself, but if not, I have her address to send a snail mail thank you note as well :)

It is! It's metal with a metal straw as well and is the best at keeping my drinks cold. Can't wait to use it this summer :)

hahahaha it's the perfect description. I only drink one cup in the morning now (and the occasional afternoon coffee run or cup with dessert) but during college I wished I had a coffee IV drip.
