#nzsecretsanta Thanks Secret Santa! My wife loves the new addition, and we don't even have that one yet! Cute fish ice cubes and the scarf will be great for the winter sports Can't wait for the next one! pic.twitter.com/fadU8a9U6ihttps://t.co/fadU8a9U6ipic.twitter.com/fadU8a9U6ihttps://t.co/fadU8a9U6ipic.twitter.com/fadU8a9U6i

Sorry for the late tweet reveal #nzsecretsanta! Got home late last night and found this. Awesome card from CanTeen and a spot on book. I've been wanting to read something from Naomi Klein for ages. Thank you so much ❤️ #summerreading #Christmas pic.twitter.com/WhrDoTalAlhttps://t.co/WhrDoTalAlpic.twitter.com/WhrDoTalAlhttps://t.co/WhrDoTalAlpic.twitter.com/WhrDoTalAl

Naaaw! The diary is beautiful SS! Thank you so much - I understand that I am a bit of mystery apart from my HR/choc/coffee life! My coworkers laughed as I’m never organised, so it’ll be put to use next year, even if it’s for doodling during meetings ❤️😊#NZSecretSanta pic.twitter.com/OFP1oktmZJ
