I woke up late this morning, after staying up late watching Star Trek: First Contact while playing Star Trek Online, to a shout from downstairs saying I'd got a parcel. After throwing on my Mr Spock robe (it's possible I may be too big a trekkie, lol), I ran downstairs to a big box waiting on my chair.

I'd received a few messages from my rematch santa which left me feeling really excited, but with the most recent one being just yesterday saying "the final part of your gift arrived today, so now it's all heading your way now!", I wasn't expecting it to arrive so soon, and I thought that the only other thing it could be was a latex Doctor Who alien mask I'd ordered off of Etsy over 6 weeks ago.

As someone I live with has a severe latex allergy (which I only found out after ordering the mask) I took the box, some scissors, my very excited niece and her dad outside to open the box, which must've looked rather odd to the neighbours as I was barefoot outside still wearing just the robe! After cutting through the sellotape and opening the folds of the box I found a Star Trek original series command badge, atop a polystyrene box surrounded by lots of packing paper.

Since it wasn't the latex mask it was safe to come back in, and after placing the box on the table I noticed a box with Star Trek cuff links! Picking up the light polystyrene box, I carefully sliced into the sellotape keeping the two halves of it together, and then pulled it apart. Inside was a Star Trek Into Darkness replica phaser! Thank you so much rematch santa!

He said he'd "picked the stuff after a cheeky bit of totally non creepy stalking through your Facebook and reddit account", he must've seen my picture at a comic-con last year where I went as Captain Kirk, also various other posts and things must've made it obvious I'm a big trekkie. At that comic-con I got a tricorder, and at this year's I wanted to get a phaser to go with it, but the phaser cost a huge amount so I didn't get it. It must've cost my santa a lot, thank you so so much! You clearly put so much thought, effort and money into my gifts santa, I'm so lucky to have got such an amazing rematch santa, I'm so grateful! :-D

I'm going to keep the phaser safe on it's display stand in my bedroom until the next comic-con, the pin badge I'm going to wear as much as I can get away with, and the cuff links I'm going to save for special occasions. Thank you rematch santa!

tldr; I received a Star Trek original series command pin badge, Star Trek cuff links and a Star Trek Into Darkness replica phaser and display stand. Thank you so much rematch santa! :-D
