My Secret Santa sent a great gift along with a personal letter to brighten my holidays!

My Exchange Preferences were a little all over the place because that's pretty much who I am in real life. The one common theme was my wife, who really is my best friend and my rock. Taking in all the info, my SS was able to put some of himself into the gift by sending a board game he enjoys that my wife and I can play together: Wonders Duel - A 2 person board game that takes about half an hour to an hour to play.

My wife recently started requesting Civ VI lessons on the PC, so transitioning to a board game based around similar concepts has been great. While she didn't win our first match, I'm sure I'll be losing to her soon since she is already the Settlers of Catan master.

A letter was also enclosed with the gift to help me get to know my SS more, and I really enjoyed that personal touch. I put a lot of myself out there in my preferences regarding my real life rather than my internet/Reddit persona, so it meant a lot to me that he reached out personally and included some of himself.

I'd like to note that I received the gift some time ago, but I wanted to wait until we had actually tried out the game prior to posting here in the gallery! What good is saying "thank you" and sharing something without looking below the cover, right?
