Omg! I love my gifts so much!! _^

First of all, it should be noted that I'm working on grad school applications right now for English programs. I'm also a fiction writer at work on my first novel. I'm ALSO a big reader and, as I come across bits in books that I love, I mark them with a post-it tab (something my secret santa didn't know!).

u/arrowonred got me the most thoughtful gifts:

A highlighter set with fun colors and a note: "A friend of mine sent this highlighter set to me when I got into grad school, someone else sent them to her when she did. The tradition continues with you!" I HOPE SO :') A super sweet (AND HUGE) set of index cards that comes with three key rings—literally DAYS after I decided to start using index cards for working through my novel's plot instead of a plain notebook/word docs. What the heck is that timing!! Really cute kitty post-it tabs that I can use in place of my plain boring ones for noting passages I love in books!

u/arrowonred you are the best! I love my secret santa gifts so much (probably should be a little embarrassed by how psyched I get about office supplies...)

Thank you SO much and merry Christmas!!! ! :)

ps- reddit won't let me upload a photo! i am going to keep trying.

UPDATE

A fourth gift came in the mail today!!! It's the most adorable mug with kitties on it and it has its own loose-leaf tea steeper AND A LID!!! I love it so much—another thing my secret santa doesn't know is that I really love blue and white dishes, and I've been making an effort to slowly add more of these into my collection! Reddit still won't let me upload a picture to this post which is mildly infuriating, but I am typing this with my mug full of peppermint tea next to me right now; it's steaming delightfully and my cat is on the other side of me!

This is my first year doing Reddit secret santa, and I can't believe how thoughtful a stranger can be. I was having a shitty day today and receiving this in the mail completely turned my day around.

Thank you so much santa! :)
