Update 2

This Whovian was so psyched when an email from reception popped up. When I saw the Think Geek box, my first thought was "my Santa truly is awesome", immediately followed by "OMG! I feel like this is Doctor Who related!". When I cracked open that puppy I was greeted by a TARDIS travel mug! Which will go perfectly with the tea my Santa got me earlier! And then I saw my request for more awesome socks was met. TARDIS socks!

Thank you so much, Santa! You truly rocked my Christmas!

Update 1

I received another email telling me there was a package at reception. Thinking it was something I had ordered as a gift for someone, I took my time getting up there. Turns out, my awesome Santa, AbruptlyBlue, sent me yet another package! Seriously, you spoil me!

After carefully cutting off the top (side?), I took a peek and was greeted by an envelope and a little stocking with something wrapped in green.

Being the responsible adult I pretend to be, I opened to card first. Sparkly snowman! And yes, I love my gifts! Thank you so much!

As I grabbed the green wrapped item from the stocking, I realized there were two things in it. With the first one clearly being nail polish (I know my gift shapes), I dug out the second gift. More nail polish!

I had to take a moment because I love nail polish. I think these two bring my collection up into the 80's, more than the average person, no where close to some collections I've seen.

I unwrapped the first one and was greeted by a bottle of Essie (on of my absolute favourite brands!) in "butler please", a medium, colbalt blue colour. I can't wait to try it out! The next was another Essie in "she's pampered", a deep, pink based red. I am already planning some awesome manicures for these two!

Thanks so much, AbruptlyBlue! You are a rockin' Santa!

I was sitting in my cube, sipping on my tea, just trying to get my day started when a wild email from reception appeared! There was a package for me! After emitting a slight squeal of excitement, I tried to, as calmly as possible, walk up to the next floor.

I take a quick look at the counter and see a box from David's Tea. I knew immediately it must have been mine because the other box sitting there was far less cool.

As I got back to my desk, a few of my co-workers gathered around as I have told them about the wonder that is Reddit Secret Santa. One hands me a pair of scissors while another excitedly says "Open it!".

"Wait, just wait a second. I must document this amazing process for the internet to see" I declared. This group was way more impatient than I was-they just can't believe that strangers send each other gifts.

After opening the box and moving the pamphlet, I see two little tea samples: english breakfast and earl grey-awesome! But they did not prepare me for what was about to come.

After carefully tearing the sticker from the tissue paper wrapping the gift, the first words I read are "toasted marshmallow" while my co-workers are asking 'What is it? What is it?!".

Toasted marshmallow tea. Could such a thing exist? Certainly it does as I have it my possession. I wanted to throw out my current tea just for a sample of what I can only imagine is the best dessert tea of life. Until...

I saw the red package. It said "oh canada!". My mind began racing: "maple? is there maple in it? oh my god, maple tea? Am I dreaming?". I won't leave you in suspense, I was not dreaming. This tea is sweetened with maple syrup and is "sprinkled with delicious maple leaf candies". I started smelling the bag. My co-worker took it to smell it and then tried to run away with it. His funeral is later this week.

Thank you Santa!!! I cannot wait to try these out once I get home!
