Thank you, so much secret Santa, you are an incredible person, and you deserve to be spoiled, you have made my entire year so much better already, and it’s only March!

My gift was packaged in a red envelope, I had no idea what to expect. I opened the envelope, and my eyes went straight to the words “Lion” and “Tiger.” My secret Santa had sent me a once in a lifetime Lion and Tiger experience at the Adelaide Zoo (my home zoo). During this experience, you get to learn all about the Lions and Tigers while stepping in the shoes of the zookeeper and feeding both animals. I can tell you that although I’m slightly nervous about the experience, I absolutely cannot wait. I am going to take my boyfriend, Charliie, to the zoo with me and I will keep you updated!

A week later, I received notification that ANOTHER gift was sent to my address! The first gift didn’t have any tracking details, so I initially thought my secret Santa just updated the information for the original package. I quickly looked on the Australia Post app, and it told me it had been sent in Victoria on its way to me! The excitement started again, eagerly waiting for the package to arrive.

On Thursday this week, I picked up my SECOND gift, this time it was a big box! I’m still shaking with excitement. I opened it up to a whole bunch of cat toys for two gorgeous cats, Mixie (5) and Joshua (2). Joshua is tabby and Mixie is tabby/tortoiseshell, and I cannot begin to tell you how happy they are with their new toys! I also received a cat stress ball, maybe I can use this during exam time!

Thank you so much, you're amazing. It’s people like you who keep the world beautiful so please don’t ever change.
