I typed up a great review of my Santa and when I clicked to add a picture it cleared EVERYTHING. I will do my best to recreate it. :'(

This gift exchange started with my Secret Santa asking what I was interested in being gifted, so I threw together a quick wish list and a little about myself. So you can imagine my disappointment when my gift arrives in the form of a gift card with the note "Don't blow it all on Pokemon (or cat stuff)!" Although it was a sizeable amount, I didn't understand why he bothered to ask what I wanted if he was just going to send me a gift card! I figured something must have come up and he meant well, so I shrugged it off; these things happen.

As it turns out, I couldn't have been further from the truth! Soon after on a very cold and windy day, two packages arrived on the porch and I let my husband know his gift must have arrived. I was considerably surprised when we got inside to see my name on BOTH packages. We opened them to find several items from my wishlist: a Matchbox Twenty CD, MegaMan Zero Collection, 2 Halo visual guides (I love the lore), the Star Trek TOS and TNG movie collections, and the first four books of a favorite series I lent to a friend long ago and never saw again. At that point I felt very sorry for getting my husband's hopes up but also incredibly embarrassed for doubting my Santa! He'd done a great job picking things out for me and I was totally and completely thrilled!

But that's not all! Soon after that yet another box arrived, and as you guessed, this one also was not for my husband (woops). This time it was a gift for my foster kittens that I had on my wishlist. They absolutely love their scratcher, even if I end up putting it together several times a day since they're such experts at tearing it apart. All in all, I had a fabulous experience with the reddit gift exchange, and my Secret Santa spoiled me beyond belief; I couldn't be happier and thank you for everything!
