Oh my sweet summer children, you do not know the true feeling of joy that comes from a very thoughtful rematch Santa.

My original Santa contacted me 2 weeks after the shipping deadline (having not looked at my info since matching day) to say they got me something and had just shipped it, AFTER I had already been paired with a rematch Santa who was quick to the draw and had picked and shipped stuff to me, so I have been a little spoiled (or being karmically rewarded for being patient) this exchange. Having been let down during my first Secret Santa this past year I was expecting much the same but honestly I am gobsmacked at the sheer kindness of both my Santas.

My original Santa got me a 4 shot glass set of first season house sigils (Stark, Greyjoy, Lannister, and Targaryean) which will be promptly put to use.

My rematch Santa blew me away with the detail she paid to my exchange profile. She sent me a big box of cat treats for my two minions of Satan (Tywin and Oberyn), the GOT Companion cookbook (I collect cookbooks!), and two GOT necklaces (Margaery's rose necklace and a compass necklace inspired by the opening sequence of the show. I had written in my profile that I loved the jewelery from the show so this has made me immensely happy.

Thank you NauticalNovelty for you generosity and to my original Santa for coming through. You are both amazing people!
