I came out of the shower to find an Amazon package waiting on my bed. My rematch had explained to me that she was sending it through Amazon due to her country's postal service being hopeless. My first instinct was to rip the box open but I decided to be patient, charge my camera and at least get dressed before tearing into it.

This has been my first year participating with Reddit Gifts so I wasn't sure what to expect and so far I had been quite disappointed...I tracked my match's gift and he received it weeks ago but has yet to mark it as received or even get back to my messages and nobody retrieved my information until I was given with my (incredible) rematch. So receiving this gift has restored my faith in the Reddit community AND humankind as it is AWESOME!

The first gift when I encountered when opening was the book 'Dune' which looks to be a great sci-fi book. I LOVE science fiction and reading plus I go away on the seven hour plane journey across the pond to New York and Washington DC next week so books are the perfect boredom cure.

Imagine my excitement then when I notice the second gift; The Zombie Survival Guide. A book I've always been meaning to buy and read due to my love of all things zombie! Not to mention the fact that my santa may have saved my life when the zombie apocalypse begins and I know every trick in the book.

My third gift was wrapped in a separate box so as I opened it I tried to imagine what it might be..another book? It was heavy and square..could it be? YES! A DOCTOR WHO MUG! Now when I sip my hot choc I will be reminded of the greatest television show there ever was or ever will be. The mug has all my fave things on it: The Tardis, K-9, Dalek, Tom Baker and a Cyberman.

Thank you soooo much Revital9 for my great gifts, they really match my personality and encompass all the things I love. Can't wait to get stuck into the books!
