I must say, my match is fantastic, and has been keeping in contact this whole time, and really getting an idea of what I like. They let me know that because of a foot injury and late hours, they had trouble getting my gift shipped on time, and actually sent me another gift (this one) until they could ship the first.

I was not expecting something this great as a placeholder gift! Thank you, anonymous match, I was actually looking at cosmetic brush sets earlier this week. I've already tried them out, and they're pretty awesome. :D

I also got a lovely, eco-friendly travel bag for cosmetics. I love the flowers stitched on front, they're so pretty!

I can't even imagine what the actual gift is, compared to this. Thanks again, awesome person!

Edit:

I got my gift! (no thanks to our mailman, who delivered all our mail to our neighbors) I was very excited to open it after all the anticipation.

First was a nice letter from my match, Liz. She talked a little bit about her journey in trying to find a gift for someone so different from herself, and included a fair depiction of Snoo in crayon.

Also, a sticker for the always great EatMoreKale.com.

The actual gift was great! Some lovely hand-painted birds graced a pair of stemless wine glasses. These are so pretty, I look forward to using them a lot. Thank you again, Liz, this was a very thoughtful gift.
