As this is my first time participating with the Reddit Secret Santa, I have been uber excited. Not so much about the gift I receive from my SS, but for my giftee. As such, I didn't have a whole lot on information in my profile.

I walked out to the mailbox this evening after binging on some Borderlands most of the day and it was stuffed full. I grabbed everything and started sorting. Christmas present I ordered for the wife, bills (really Time Warner it's Christmas. Can't my internets be free?), and an Amazon Box.

Why does this Amazon box have my name on it and why is it from Sunstea? I go to my laptop to check my Reddit gifts and see the tracking states it hasn’t been delivered yet. So I go back to the kitchen a little confused. Then it hit me. I gave a coworker my last bit of loose tea so he must be sending this as a gift. I was so proud I figured it out so quickly. I cut open the tape on the Amazon box to see a tag, which stated “Everything in Moderation. ☺” From: /u/ManFromTheStars on another box wrapped as a Christmas present.

I guess I hadn’t figured that out after all. I got real excited, like a kid in the candy store excited and ripped the package open. It was then when I remembered to grab my phone and start taking photos. Now I’m still thinking this is something to do with tea at this point. When I amassed the product box from the wrapping paper and started reading, I saw double walled glasses and Manhattan style strong glass. I’m still thinking tea related. It was not until I looked at the description of the Amazon receipt that said “Strong double wall Manhattan style old-fashioned Scotch/Whiskey glasses” when my mind was blown.

My SS hit the nail right on the head. I mentioned in my profile that I am a fan of Scotch. Ever since my first taste in the Marines of single malt I have enjoyed the occasional glass. My conundrum to enjoying the scotch for me has been the following.

I like one cube of ice in my scotch. Yes it waters it down but I like my scotch just below room temperature. Anything more it's too cold.

The problem is it takes me too long to drink a glass and by the time I'm near the end of the glass the heat my from my hand has warmed the scotch up. I can add another cube of ice but at this point the scotch will become scotch flavored water and I dislike that slightly more than Scotch that’s too hot.

It's a catch 22.... well not anymore!

Now before you all start on the whiskey stones, ball bearings, frozen pin balls, and what not, I hate them all.

My SS got me a gift I had NO IDEA existed, Double-walled Scotch glasses. Look at these fucking pictures and tell me that is not a thing of sheer beauty. Obviously I could not wait to try them out. Good thing I received this package on a Saturday, the suspense to waiting until the weekend would probably get the best of me.

I've read through almost all of the SS giftee posts and I can honestly say that my SS (/u/ManFromTheStars) Is the best SS Ever!!!!!! (Just one ! isn't enough). Thank you very much kind stranger. These glasses will be used as much as possible in a Moderate fashion. I hope your present from your SS is as great if not better than what you got me.

To give everyone an Idea of how fucking awesome these glasses are I had one ice cube in there. After 40 min of dicking on Facebook, Reddit, and posting this gift exchange update the scotch is still perfect temperature. This is just too freaking rad!

TL;DR- My SS > All other SS. Not much info in profile got me the perfect present. Double walled scotch glasses. Again SS, Thank you so much!
