My Secret Santa went absolutely above and beyond! Prior to receiving my gift she sent me a message getting me all pumped up for the gift asking me categorized almost cryptic questions to figure me out. I knew then that my Secret Santa was going to be truly special. She told me to expect it for today, and to get excited, and I was sooo excited!! After much anticipation, today finally came, but unfortunately I had to leave for work before the gift arrived and wouldn't be home until 11pm. This was rather sad knowing all night that my gift was waiting for me. I also dreaded not being able to thank my Secret Santa right away knowing I wouldn't be able to write this until late. As I waited my excitement grew and I couldn't help but tell my coworkers about it, who sadly couldn't grasp the awesomeness of Reddit and RedditGifts, telling me to expect a mail order bride or something weird at my door. I was not deterred and knew my Secret Santa would not let me down!

Once I got out of work I raced home, finally arriving at my door around 1120pm to find the screen to be partially ajar with a package safely tucked behind it! I promptly stepped inside with the box in my grasp. Before I could even put my work jacket and boots away I was all over it, attempting to open up the box with my keys as a cutting tool. This was difficult as it was very well secured with heavy duty quality packing tape, I almost had to give in and use a knife but there was no time, I had to have at it!

Once past the protective barrier of tape I was greeted with a charming Merry Christmas sign and underneath it dwelled many more fun items including a classy personal message, wishing me karma! Everything was wrapped with this very festive grocery bag, the presentation alone made this more than worth it. Immediately my nose was hit with a terrific aroma of spices from a bag of tempting cookie biscuits, that I couldn't help but enjoy right away by eating one as I continued into the box. The cookie was so delicious, was so hard to only have one before bed, thank you for them!!! I continued pulling items out of the box which the entire time felt like a giant treasure chest as the gifts would not stop. Next, I found a cup delicately wrapped up, and upon opening it found it to reveal this really cool teacup with fancy old school engraving of this resort that's near where she lives! Looks like an awesome Christmas village type of place. The teacup looks and feels hand crafted like its out of the 17th century and has great character. I shall drink from it often! She also supplied me with some African Grey tea (can't wait to try it, especially with those cookies) and a tea infuser so I can make tea like a pro! Also found a cool Batman mask which I can only assume she had to get me because the one thing my reddit does show is that I'm obsessed with that lol... I also mentioned in my profile that I liked space and found this really cool blinged out spaceship ornament (did you make this to!?) My Secret Santa was so thoughtful!! The gifts still wouldn't stop, as I discovered a glow in the dark slinky jr which I can only assume is also in response to what I provided as I told her that that I'm still a kid on the inside. Couldnt help but laugh in joy at this point as I knew I would totally be playing with it XD. I also found a little NPR pin and a nostalgic cup coaster that goes perfectly with the teacup. Wrapped up nicely with string were 3 books that I haven't even begin to look over, but can only assume that they will be great reads based on my gifter's very apparent incredible tastes. Can't believe how much thought went into this! Then finally just as I thought there couldn't be anymore she also included a Dunkin Donuts gift card which has a crazy $25 on it!

You seriously outdid yourself and didn't have to spend this much! You amazed me at how you covered every single category of my likes / interests. You made my Christmas already!!! Thank you so much.
