The story begins with the message I got from my Santa the day they pulled my info, asking me what else I might like from the US to pad out the box my T shirts were going to come in. I gave them some suggestions, we messaged back and forth - and then the parcel that was only supposed to take a week to reach me in the UK disappeared into the ether. Here's where it gets better, though, because although my Santa had insured the parcel they couldn't claim 45 days - but they said that was far too long to make me wait. They told me if there was no update from USPS by May 21st, they would simply send me everything all over again, and then they added the words "If all else fails, you'll get double the loot and you can share with a friend." I was away from work on a half term break, and when I got back this morning there was a parcel waiting for me - and now things get really awesome. Three hours later, the afternoon mail delivery came to my workplace - and I received not one, but TWO more parcels...one of which was the original one that went missing! I quickly realised that my Santa had read my Redditgifts wishlist, because I am now the proud owner of a Sugar Fueled owl print that I'd been hankering after for ages; I also received a print featuring Walter White along with two 'Despicable Me' Minions. Padding out the box was a bag of strawberry Twizzlers along with a bag of Lifesavers - both of which were candies that I told my Santa I really missed when I wasn't in Canada or the US! Oh, and my T shirts - how could I forget those? I have one with a picture of Walter White, and the other features a Minion. And since most of the teenage boys at the school where I work were coveting my duplicate T shirts, I have decided to raffle them off - and the money will be donated to Help For Heroes, a charity that helps injured soldiers and their families.

To Caitlin, a huge and heartfelt THANK YOU. Thank you for restoring my faith in Redditgifts exchanges after I was shafted twice, thank you for picking gifts that were absolutely perfect for me, and thank you for making the effort to put things right when you didn't officially have to. If there was a Santa Hall Of Fame, I'd make sure you got a place in it; you went above and beyond for a total stranger, and I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate it.
