My Santa and I have been in close alignment through this exchange - initially we pulled our respective giftee details quite close together. I posted my gift out just before lunch on Thursday, shortly afterwards I received notification that my Santa had also just been at the Post Office and my own gift was on it's way.

When I picked the parcel up from the mat yesterday and it was a similar size to the one I had sent I laughed to myself that wouldn't it be funny if we had both posted the same item too.

We had. The exact same item from the same shop, posted on the same day, at pretty much the same time. The only way this could possibly be better is if by a quirk of the matching system my santa and my giftee are actually the same person (so I've held off posting until the tracking said my giftee had signed for their parcel just in case they can have the same amazement on opening as I did!)

I don't think there could be a better outcome from a Magic-related exchange.

(The effect itself is a cool, bizarre tale about couples who committed murders on their wedding day called 'Til Death Do Us Part' and which I had already looked at previously for myself so is definitely a welcome gift! The surrounding co-incidences just make it so much more sweet!)
