As a first year secret santa participant I was a little hesitant going into the situation, but not for the fear of let down, for the fear of my own well being. I often have this wild perception of redditors as crazed, cyber stalker folk out looking for the next victim to tear down emotionally over this vast web we traverse, but it turns out that may just be the real life redditors I know! My SS surprised me with a wondrous feeling of satisfaction as I opened the package sent my way. Inside was not just something randomly awesome, it was specially crafted to the heart of my desire. I pulled back a layer of bubble wrap, and gently uncovered the delicately wrapped gifts that lay waiting for the new home they would embrace. The first to emerge was a hand-crafted box with Snoo, the Reddit alien staring up at me with his joyous expression covering the backdrop of a cannibas leaf, all hand painted with subtle perfection. As I took Snoo into my hands, and carefully opened his dwelling I found a knitted pouch that turned the wide grin on my face into the brightest of smiles. Its pattern was knitted with a soft grey color, embroidered with a large green cannibas leaf, and offering a safe home to the glassware I use with the medicinal plant. After finishing my giggle fit, I tucked the pounch into Snoo, and gave him a thorough examination. The Snoo box, outside of its already impressive nature, is labeled with a message that is taken straight from the core of my soul, "My (drawn heart) is in Colorado!". My SS is a wonderful person who has calculated my desires in just a few short weeks, I am in awe. This is not the end though, only the beginning. My smile stuck in perma beam mode, I continue on to pull aside a second layer of bubble wrap, and begin to unwrap the next gift. A book reveals itself to me, clutching at my heart strings as I grasp the title, "Water 4.0". I am currently an Electrical Engineering student in my last semester, and the pursuit of my Engineering life is dedicated to grasping onto a future for our nations clean water supply. My SS has found a way to latch onto my deepest desires, and bring it to the forefront of my focus. My smile has turned from beaming goodness, to smiling in awe at the compassion, and dedication of this random stranger. The time, the effort, and the heartfelt energy that encompasses the essence of these gifts are what the world need more of. I am ever so grateful and thankful for the person who has given me this amazing feeling on this day I shall never forget.

P.S. - I absolutely love the SS ornament that you made, it will be with me forever to remind me of how amazing you are =) I will pop every single bubble of the wrap ;) Your holiday christache card was adorable, and the drawing inside was kickass! <3
