Just a note: I received these gifts last week, but have not had time to do a proper write up with pictures until now, so thanks for you patience SS. This is by far one of the best exchanges I've ever participated in.

I want to start off by saying that I wasn't going to sign up for this exchange. I've been doing exchange after exchange was becoming a bit disappointed with the lack of thought and communication from several of my past exchanges. Let me say, my SS completely restored my faith in redditgifts. What an AMAZING gift giver and all around person this guy is. THANK YOU SS! (I know his real name but not his reddit name, so I'll call him SS.)

First off, within a day or so of exchanges going out I get a reddit message asking for my email address as part of the gift needed to be emailed to me. My interest was immediately piqued. I've never had a SS contact me so fast and never asked for my email address! He sent me the guide to an awesome RPG system called FATE, letting me know the hard copy would be on its way soon. (Can't wait to give it a try!)

I was so surprised to get a box in the mail just a day or two later. I actually thought it was something completely different and laughed myself silly to find a foam sword and shield inside. I actually wrapped it back up so my son could reopen it himself. He LOVES it by the way. Like any little boy, he is obsessed with swords (and shields) and claims these two items make him a pirate now. He even slept with it the first night. :)

The very next day my husband tells me I have two boxes downstairs. Two?? He says, "You'll want to come see this, one of the boxes is huge!" He wasn't kidding, I had NO idea what could possibly be in either of these boxes. Pictures below to see what amazingly awesome things were inside the mystery boxes...
