It's always a nice surprise to come home from work to a mysterious Reddit secret Santa gift. After a trying year of heartbreak and loss, I can't ignore feeling grateful for each moment that lifts me up and makes me smile. Always reminding me that life goes on and happier times are ahead. It's definitely just coincidence and an internet algorithm, but I can't help but feel lucky and blessed with my Secret Santa this year.

I am completely blown away by the box sent to me by Starbucks! Thank you so much for your thoughtful package of awesome goodies and encouraging letter. I can't get over how you hit the nail on the head with your choice of items, I love them all! Ironically I don't drink coffee, as I am caffeine sensitive, but I don't think my family and friends will complain when I share the coffee with them! Thank-you so much for the glittery polaroid frames, the stasher plastic free reusable baggies, the 25$ gift card to Starbucks, stainless steel thermal bottle and travel coffee press! As someone who is striving to go waste-free, and a live a plastic-free lifestyle, I absolutely appreciate the thought of including these items!

Lastly, like you read my thoughts, the ultra-light jet boil stove for camping is just over-the-top and something I had been saving up for and considering buying for quite some time! I did not post a wishlist or list gift ideas, so the fact that you pick this out for me, is just WOW. I can't wait to test it out on the trail this winter!

I feel so lucky and special, what a wonderful gift!

Thanks again Starbucks!
