This was my first Reddit Gift Exchange and was it ever a fantastic experience. My secret santa really took the time and effort to get something that they knew i would love and showed me how great reddit gift exchanges can be.

As soon as I knew the package was on it's way, I told my daughter all about the secret santa and she could not wait to see what was coming.

Today, the two of us went to the post office to pick up the package and brought it home to see what was inside.

First thing I saw when I opened the package were 2 bags of reeses mini's (best candy ever).

We pulled out the bubble wrap and I found 3 packages wrapped in shiny red paper. I let her decide what to open first, and we found a copy of "How to tell if your cat is plotting to kill you" (which I discovered he apparently is after reading some of it tonight). Next was a micro SD card, which clued me in to what the final package might be. The finale was a Raspberry Pi B+.

It was the best thing that I could have asked for. I used to love programming in college and have not had much time for it since unfortunately. With this, I am hoping to start programming again and learning some new languages (Python anyone).

Thanks secret santa for making this a memorable experience and really going that extra step that made it a fun evening for my daughter and I.

Thank you
