It finally arrived! My secret Santa really hit the nail on the head. First thing I saw was a note with a "Winner" pin attached - I'll transcribe the text in case you can't read it in the picture.

Dear Satchmo_lives,

Hi from your Secret Santa! Here are your gifts! So two of your listed interests were coffee and scotch, and those both happen to be things I enjoy, so I went with that. On the coffee side is a little something from my native New York - because I like gifts that are unique to the sender, and I'm terrible at hand-made gifts - and on the scotch side is something a little different and interesting - because that's always nice. Also, I recently filled a friend's car with playpen balls, and have been looking for uses for the leftovers, and I needed packing material, and these are way cooler than styrofoam peanuts, so you get them too. So yeah, I hope you like your gifts, and have a happy Christmas / Hanukah / Kwanzaa / Festivus / OrdinaryJehovahWitnessDay!

Much Love, SGoogs1780

P.S. - I also went on your profile and went ALL THE UPVOTES on your ass. So there's a little something extra.

On to the gifts! On the coffee side of things, we have a six pack of Manhattan Special Espresso Coffee Soda! This, I have never tried before and am very excited to drink - it sounds delicious!

On the scotch side of things, a phenomenally useful set of whiskey stones! I have to admit, I hadn't heard about these before I started checking out some of the gifts other people had received during this year's Secret Santa. But every time I saw them I hoped my SS would send me some - INCREDIBLE job SGoogs1780!

And, lest we forget, a box full of playpen balls! I wonder if reddit can help me come up with a few uses for these...

SGoogs1780, THANK YOU!
