I got mine in the mail today. Literally 2 days after she mailed it to me. Seriously, DHL, you are so darn quick.

The postie (or as you Murricans like to call them your mailman) came to my door and I was surprised.

Literally after the postie left, I screamed for nearly half an hour that my neighbours think I'm getting raped when I'm not. I was really excited to open the lovely presents.

Oh my reaction to how neatly it was put was just me stunned irl. I loved how she carefully wrapped each present in different papers and curling ribbons. I opened them one by one and I was really glad, and was so happy that it made my really crappy day better.

I loved how much effort she had gone through to send me the mail.

I was happy that she sent me cookies that I don't get here in Australia that often except for some though but I was happy that it wasn't Arnotts or anything sounding pretty Aussie. It was Girl Scout cookies for goodness' sake. You don't get that in Australia at all! I mean, AT ALL!

When I opened each presents, I was quickly reminded of this girl selling girl scout cookies in front of a joint shop in Colorado and it made me giggle.

I loved the effort she had put into the presents/cookies she gave me. It was worth it. _^

when I opened the very last one, I was quite surprised it wasn't a cookie or a bikkie (as we like to call biscuits here), but it was a Sherlock shirt, I've been eyeing on for a while on the internet. Plus it was my favourite colour, purple, and it was around my favourite hue. Then there was this tiny little pressie on the inside too.

I was laughing all the way when it said, "I'm not a psychopath, I'm a high functioning sociopath whose got your number". That's my favourite Sherlock quote, actually. Like my forever favourite from the moment it came out of that episode.

After that, I found a tiny envelope that said "open me after the gifts (spoiler alert!)". Much funny. Very much so. Wow. I was so happy that it was the last one I saw at the bottom of the box. I smiled and cried from reading what she had wrote on the inside. It was pretty personal, sweet and funny. Instantly, I knew this girl really thought of what to give me for the exchange and was really excited. Even the little notes she wrote on each present was really cute and added a personal touch to it. :)

I would love to keep in contact with her and say thank you so much. Though I have never met you before, you really had touched my heart with your pressies. It was a box full of warm fuzzies. So, as a memorabilia, I refuse to throw anything that came out of the box and be kept as a memento in future as my first gift from a person I haven't really had spoken to beforehand.

PS: The peanut butter cups you sent me are so much better than Reese's. I was not a big fan of Reese (so not into the sugar treats much) though I'm a peanut butter fan. Definitely, peanut butter fan. And also, Sherlock.

The animal circus cookies/bikkies you gave me was amazing. I'll try to not eat them all at once, but they're so scrumptious! I'm going to savour them all!

PPS: I'll also try to find a way to get into Cabbagepatch's and get into some shenanigans with him. :)
