This is gift shipment one of two according to my amazing Santa, but I just couldn't wait to post this because I love it so very, very much. My New Year's resolution was to get into good enough shape to hike an Adirondack high peak by this fall, so I plan to spend as much time as possible out on the trails this spring and summer. I specifically mentioned an emergency blanket in my list of things that might help because it's the one thing that's missing from my emergency kit and Santa gifted a really nice one. Thank you! I hope I never actually need to use it, but if I ever do I'll send double thanks out into the universe.

The second item in today's shipment, though, really, really, really made my day: A GoGirl female urination funnel so I can pee in the woods standing up!! Oh my god, people, you have no idea how much I love this thing. And this right here is why I love RedditGifts. It's something I would never have bought for myself that solves a real problem that I have really experienced in real life. Whether it says something about me one way or the other that I can't freaking wait to urinate into a pink body-safe silicone funnel, well, I'm just not going to worry about it.

UPDATE I received the second shipment and it's water purification tablets! This was also something I had on my "wish list" and will most definitely come in handy once I've worked my way back up to longer/multi-day hikes. There's always plenty of water around where I hike, but it's fairly rare to find potable springs. Thank you so much rematch Santa! I love it all!

UPDATE 2 I received a lovely handmade card (produced by the company my Rematch Santa's mom used to own!) in the mail yesterday all the way from Germany, where my Santa is stationed with the Air Force. While I'm not usually an emotionally demonstrative person, a lot of things are different in the world these days and I couldn't help crying a little. My Rematch Santa really went above and beyond to make this exchange special for me, and I will never, ever forget their generosity. Thank you!!
