I didn't get a lot of gifts, but I'm happy with all I received:
- AAA membership for a year.
- Lemongrass Green Tea and Nantucket Sea Clay soap from Summerhouse Soap.
- Orange Ginger shower gel and Peppermint lip balm from Plum Island Soap Company.
- Nightmare Before Christmas cosmetic bag.
- $25 Sephora gift card.
- Victoria's Secret pajama set.
The most thoughtful gift was half of a necklace worn by my grandmother. My mom explained to me that when she had gone to visit my Grammy in the hospital right before she passed, that she told my mom that I should have her half of the necklace. It's a mizpa coin with a quote about loving a person no matter the distance you may be apart. I never knew she wanted me to have it, and it's a nice reminder that she's still with me.
