Martyr-
A little sparkle, a little music and a dash of sweetness for the taste buds to sing! These are a few of my favorite things. I hope you enjoy them as well!
Do-Re-Mi,
Your Secret Santa
On the fourth day, the gifts are placed in a large, fluffy stocking. Inside the stocking is a mug filled with candy canes and lemon drop candies, pretty vials of flower bath salts and a small box of assorted teas. Within the toe of the stocking a small pocket is sewn within the lining, containing a perfume bottle necklace with tiny crystals inside.

Martyr,
Stocking stuffers are the best! Just when you've think you've found everything inside, sometimes a surprise is hidden deep within the toe.
Hint! Hint!
Your Secret Santa
On the fifth day the gift is wrapped in silver paper with white snowflakes. There are enough ribbon curls to border on the ridiculous, as if the person wrapping the gift was having a little too much fun to stop.
Inside the box is a library of 12 different chocolate bars. Each bar tells a story of spices, herbs, flowers & roots guiding the senses on a trip around the world. The set includes Amalfi, Barcelona, Black Sea Salt Caramel, Blood Orange Caramel, Cherry Rooibos, Goji, Mos Dark Chocolate Bacon, Naga, Oaxaca, Organic Peanut Butter, Red Fire, and Woolloomooloo.

The note attached reads:
Martyr,
It's fun to get lost in a library and lose yourself in its stories. Getting lost in a chocolate library may be even better! Each of these chocolates has its own story. Feel free to share them with someone special over the holidays. Enjoy!
Um...sorry about all the ribbon,
Your Secret Santa.
On the final day, the boxes are wrapped in snowman paper. Within the boxes are a throw blanket, penguin slippers, peppermint stick hot chocolate and snowman marshmallows.
