My last Secret Santa gift, received just shortly after Christmas, was obviously engineered by an incredibly thoughtful person. I received a plethora (6+) of books relating to herbs and cooking in addition to a "Grandma Gift" of a gift bag of shaving products which although many might find dumb, I found actually intriguing and am looking forward to trying out.

I am grateful for having so many thoughtful Secret Santas this year, and embarrassed that I did not put more effort into my own targets. I can only hope that they either enjoy their gifts or are not shy about returning them for store credits.
