My secret santa was/is fabulous. I received my first package Friday, right as I was running out the door for a three day camping trip. Contained were two FABULOUS books, both of which are on my "to read" list! One was a beautiful copy of Bill Bryson's "A Short History of Nearly Everything". I'm actually planning on doing a little post work reading in it tonight. The other was The Immortal Life of Henrietta Locks, which is a book I've been wanting to read since I heard of Henrietta Locks. I could NOT be more stoked! Since I live in Hawaii, I took one of the books on my camping trip with the intent of taking pictures of it in various locations, unfortunately for you SS, I am not as awesome as I intend to be and only remembered to take pictures of it twice.

When I returned home from camping with my friends, I literally fell over the other two packages. (I then had to explain Reddit SS to them, they thought it was pretty fabulous). Inside the other two packages were two more SUPER thoughtful gifts (did I mention my SS was awesome?). One was a humorous water bottle with the scene from ghost and a quip about me being a potter. Good job zeroing in on my pet peeve SS. But in reality, I found it hilarious and will be using that water bottle as long as I can. SS also sent me a super awesome cat shirt that's dreaming about science. You can see it in the photos below.

I preemptively apologize for the camera phone pictures. I'm headed to the mainland for Christmas shortly and it was do it now, or no pictures. Sorry Santa!

There was also a lovely little note with an Einstein quote, but my SS's first name was on there, so I didn't want to post a picture and invade his privacy (although he appears to still be a secret redditor...no username to be found!)
