When it comes to gift giving themes, you can always guess what you're going to get. A book exchange will net you books, a GoT exchange, while more varied, will most certainly be GoT themed.

Arbitrary Day is a mystery. A good, delicious, cold night snuggle up in bed with a novel mystery. The open nature of what gift you could receive means you're constantly second-guessing yourself when your gift arrives. Will your match actually send something through in the first place? Will it pass the hurdles of the country security checks? Did they actually look at my Reddit account and see what I am?

I can honestly say, my Arbitrary Day Gift (box? set?) has certainly exceeded any guesses I had in mind. Did I think my gift was going to come from New Zealand? Nope. Did I expect to be blown away by how spot on the range of gifts were? Definitely not! :D

As a Pacific Islander, I have always been interested in the tattoo culture of the individual countries. I am glad that my gifter picked up on my relatively small number of posts in /r/tattoo (compared to say, /r/askreddit :P). The Maori Tattoo Calendar and the ink drawing will definitely be scrutinized in the days to come, especially when I'll be showing it off to friends who come around :)

The two NZ movies are a great pick! I get to appreciate NZ cinema, while adding it to my small but burgeoning movie collection (I also buy my blu-rays from Mightyape New Zealand online :P).

As for the cards, I'm going to have to make a little board to stick them up on to go with my other cards from other countries! As for my kid's gift, the NZ Post Office saw fit to protect the world from the dangers of Nail Polish, but never fear, the bracelets made it through :D

As it stands, the scope of gifts, as well as the care taken in choosing them, makes this one of the best gift packages I have ever received. All I can think of whenever I look at these gifts is 'how the blazes did my gifter figure me out so well?'. But I smile and thank the stars I was lucky to be matched with such a thoughtful person as you.

Thank you.
