My bf has been saying he needs a whetstone for a while now so now that the holidays are near as I write this I figured it was time. I found these and was immediately drawn to the beautiful color options. I placed my order on their website and added a note telling them the kind of stone I was hoping to receive if it was possible and lo and behold about a week later its here! It came in a generic usps box (perfect for secret Santa shopping ;3) and bubblewrap with a hand written note saying "I hope you like the stone we picked!". You guys, its so perfect and pretty!!! Thank you so much guys, the stone you picked is infact perfect! I know he's going to love it! I told him already thats probably my favorite surprise in his stocking~
