I came home with my little one after a long day. My husband left on a work trip and we're roughing it on our own this week. What a great surprise awaited me! A box, wrapped in beautiful paper! I knew right away that it was from the Reddit Gift Exchange.

When I opened it, I had to laugh. I reuse Amazon boxes all the time! It's too convenient to not use them when mailing things to friends or family or internet strangers.

What a beautifully packaged box of goodies. Right on top were adorable, handmade gingerbread people. They went straight onto the tree! So quality. I love the one with the broken little leg. OMNOMNOM!

Everything was labeled with unicorn notes. Santa didn't know, but my husband and I have an inside joke about unicorns. This was perfect for me!

Hmm... "To light up the town"? What does that mean? There were three electric tea light candles inside.

STOP IT! Look at this perfectly crafted little Christmas town that now lives under my tree and LIGHTS UP! I will use this until the day I die or my infant accidentally eats it. LO is really into eating paper. I will do my best to protect the beautiful town!

I've never gotten anything that was 3D designed/printed! I was terrified that I might break it if I busted the pieces out of their little holder but the instructions said that I needed to in order to put it together. And it even said Merry Christmas! In fact, I thought to myself, "I need my husband's help to engineer this thing without ruining it." But, being the pioneer woman that I am, I decided I don't need no man for no thang, and I gave it a shot. I prayed as I pried it apart and it worked out splendidly. I'm thinking we're going to mount it over our mantel eventually like a tiny, hilarious Easter egg in our home.

Next were my new phone cord hair ties! I have been terrified of trying these, Santa. Curly haired people will tell you that things get stuck in their hair all of the time. When a curly haired person pulls off a hair tie, it frequently takes a lot of hair out with it. The curly get stuck in the fabric of the tie as it comes out of the hair. But, now I had my own and the baby's asleep so... Why not? I put it in and wore it for the rest of my gift opening. When I attempted to pull it out 20 minutes later, this miracle thing came out of my hair without removing a single lock from my scalp. THIS IS MY NEW BEST HAIR FRIEND! I didn't even know I needed this.

Chocolate came after the hair ties. Chocolate and hair ties: It's like you know me, Santa. I might save one chocolate bar for my husband when he gets home. Might.

I was excited to see what was packaged for my LO and Santa didn't disappoint! I'm pretty sure that these are also hand-crafted. Anyone who has a baby knows that keeping socks on is a tricky task. These little booties will stay on my babe's toes and keep them warm all winter. They're so soft and fleece-y!

I mentioned in my interest profile that I want to get better at decorating baked goods... HOLY COW DO I HAVE THE SUPPLIES TO DO THAT NOW, THANKS TO MY SANTA! I don't even know what to do with these Russian Piping icing nozzles but I can't wait to find out. Pintrest, Youtube, etc. will be my new friend as I make delicious treats and attempt to decorate them. Look out, /r/baking, this girl's comin' at ya with her Secret Santa's gift and a lot of questions during the practice rounds.

Hey - this was the best. Thanks, Santa. If I could, I'd give you a Reddit hug. squeeze Merry Christmas and thank you.
