I signed up for the international option for Arbitrary Day because I was hoping to get something unique to the area that my match was from. I also listed a few of my hobbies [hiking, social drinking (and a few others)] as an alternative for my match to get ideas.

Wow! That is about all I have to say. It's funny that an anonymous person from another part of the continent can find more relevant and awesome gift ideas than my SO can for Christmas or a birthday. My SO (fiancée) says that I should marry my secret santa instead.

There is so many awesome gifts here, that I'm not sure that I deserved to be this fortunate.

relevant to my match's locale: Mexican candy, Mexican salsas, chutney, hot sauces (both hot and don't-eat-this-unless-you're-experiencing-a-momentary-lack-of-judgment hot), pecans, Mexican coffee, cornbread, dip seasonings. I love Mexican food.

relevant to my hiking hobby: a pedometer and a reservoir. Both are incredibly well-timed and relevant, I am looking to continue my end-to-end hike of the Bruce Trail (Ontario, Canada) on my holidays (which start in less than 10 days). This would have been awesome on it's own.

relevant to my social drinking hobby/problem: a discrete flask, and a funny t-shirt

and in case that wasn't enough, an awesome hoodie as well! It's very comfy, and I lost my favourite hoodie last winter. Perfect!

Thanks nickram81!

tl;dr: A++ secret santa, received more than I deserve, but still very happy about it, secret santa took a few safe bets and a few gambles on things to send. The safe bets were awesome and the gambles were awesome.

tl;dr's tl;dr: give nickram81 an award for being an awesome secret santa
