My first Reddit secret santa, I wasn't quite sure what to expect.

With some trepidation I opened the envelope to reveal the wrapping paper beneath. Darkness greeted my eyes, and I wasn't quite sure what I was looking at. Further unwrapping the present, I withdrew the soft fabric pouch with a deep purple lining (not the band).

Worryingly, the pouch seemed to be stuffed with folded sheets of paper, but before I could investigate those a set of jelly green polyhedral dice came tumbling out. I love dice that change colour as you look at them, a glimmer of blue just creeping in when the light hits them just right.

Dice to one side, I unfolded the paper. Numbers. Lines and lines of numbers, or more accurately Steam game keys. Tip-a-tapping the keys in I received a number of titles from two humble bundles: Natural Selection 2, Sanctum 2, Magika 2 + DLC, Dead Space, Burnout Paradise Ultimate, Crysis 2 Maximum Edition, Medal of Honour, Mirror's Edge, and C&C: Red Alert 3 Uprising.

I also received a Bitcoin QR Code sticker... which I'm not sure whether I should do anything with other than stick it to something. Scanning it takes me to the Bitcoin website.

Considering the excessive information I gave to my secret santa, they hit the right spots. The pouch and dice alone were a great gift, the Steam codes the icing on the proverbial cake (and there will be cake).

Alas, while I have his name and address, I do not know his Reddit username. So whoever you are, secret santa, thank you.
