I was in Rome when my gift delivery was attempted last week. I got back yesterday and arranged for a redelivery to the first possible date (tomorrow). I regretted having to make myself wait so long so I went to the post office today and got my two parcels!

The first parcel had a Cadbury label on it, very exciting! I opened it and it was a Toblerone, one of my favorite chocolates!

The second package was an Amazon package. I opened it and saw the gorgeous Amazon gift wrapping. So pretty! The smaller box is Lindt milk chocolate and the bigger item is an Italian Risotto cookbook.

Italy is my favorite country, risotto is my favorite food. I also love to travel and trying things that are typical to the country I'm visiting. Swiss chocolate is typically Swiss (duh), some of the best chocolate in the world, and did I mention that I also love chocolate? :)

I opened the risotto book and found a recipe to some risotto balls that my boyfriend and I discovered in Italy last week. My boyfriend loved them so it's very convenient that I have a recipe now. I'll make these for my boyfriend to remind him of the awesome time we had on our trip!

Another recipe I'm excited about is an artichoke risotto. I love artichokes and I brought home a jar of great quality Italian artichokes from my trip. Now I know how I'm going to use it!

The book has several other amazing recipes I'd love to try. I'll be saving the chocolate for when I stop feeling guilty about all the pizza, pasta and gelato I ate in Italy last week. Haha! :)

Thanks a lot, secret santa! This was indeed a perfect gift for me. Very thoughtful! xx
