I got home from lunch with my GF, when I saw a letter sticking out from the mailbox. I promptly checked it out, and when I saw the word "c/o PortConflict", I got excited! It was here!

We scurried upstairs, and proceeded to open the standard letter envelope, with something squishy inside.

Inside was a letter, and a foam wrapped item. I opened it up, and found a tiny claw on a chain. "Awesome" I thought, very unique. But then I read the letter...

I've attached a picture of the letter, but for the TL;DR types, here's the synopsis.

My secret santa was hunting in the Northern Territory of Australia, and nearly got killed by a crocodile. He was almost over-run by the beast, and just managed to load his rifle in time and shoot it, killing it. The only part you can keep is the claw, so he got a friend to shrink it down and attach the chain to it.

All I can say, is my secret santa nearly died to get my gift. You are manliest man (or woman, that wasn't clear) that I know. I would like to buy you a beer if I'm ever in the territory.

I truly love this gift, and it will adorn my PC desk for years to come. Thank you. :)
