I don't know the odds, but anecdotal evidence in the /r/secretsanta subreddit tells me it happens. My santa this exchange was a giftee of mine on another exchange. My santa let the cat out of the bag before sending me my gift. I was delighted to hear it and waited (im)patiently for my parcels (yes, parcels, 2 of them!!!) to arrive.

First to arrive was the box shipped domestically that I had tracking for. I tracked that package within an inch of its life. When I got home from work Friday and got the mail, I was so excited. I opened the package and inside was my first Funko Pop figure. In my writeup I expressed my love for cheesy teen movies from the 80's and 90's. Evidently I'm old AF, but whatever. So I laughed so hard when the Funko Pop figure was Long Duck Dong. I am not fighting with my 8 year old boy over it because he finds the name hilarious and it must be his. Honestly, as long as it stays in the house, it is as good as mine. It can be in his room and still be mine, he'll be none the wiser. Mom always wins.

The second parcel was shipped internationally, so I really didn't get my hopes up for it to arrive any time soon. Imagine my surprise and joy when it arrived in the mail on Saturday! I saw the airmail sticker and was giddy as I carefully opened it. What was inside took my breath away. I love all colors but said if I had to choose one, I would choose blue. My santa took my love of geeky humor and the color blue and got me the most beautiful print evoking the whole Ministry of Silly Walks skit. I am now on the hunt for the most perfect frame for it so I can have it in my office at work. I will smile every time I see it.

Thank you so much Santa. I love love love both items. It was a total joy to end up truly exchanging gifts with you, albeit on completely different exchanges.
