I really wish my gifter left their Reddit name in a note, because holy heckin' Batman, do I wish I could show just how much I appreciate this gift!

I really wasn't expecting much, since I thought I'd get like, one thing and have it be done, but the box that showed up was humongous. The UPS guy handed it over and I didn't even know how to feel in that moment.

Opening the box was a whole other experience. When I first signed up for the exchange, I wrote a ton of stuff down, because I felt like I hadn't written enough for Secret Santa last year and wanted there to be enough variety, and I think my Arbitrary Day gifter went above and beyond!

They sent me three shirts, two of which are from my favourite gaming/entertainment channel on YouTube, Achievement Hunter, and one of which is a Chicago Blackhawks tee with Patrick Kane's name and number on the back! A right match for the jersey I have of his, hee. One of the AH shirts is also a specific member shirt for Ryan Haywood, so I was so stoked to get that one! My fave dudes.

And the biggest surprises were the ones at the bottom of the box-- a laptop bag, and a fountain pen! Oh my god.

I wrote in my notes that I like to collect fountain pens, and I've received from my gifter a Pilot Metropolitan in a beautiful matte black. I can't believe it. I actually have another one of these in gold and it is my absolute favourite daily use pen. To have another one of these is awesome!

The laptop bag was a big surprise, but I remembered then that I wrote down that I'm a student who travels a lot for uni, and that I bring my laptop everywhere, and I dunno how my gifter somehow knew that I needed a laptop bag, but lo and behold! It's solid and looks very robust and I seriously really needed something just like it.

Again, I can't say enough just how awesome this gift is. I really wish I knew who you were, but I hope you see this and know that I appreciate this gift so very much! I'll definitely be making use of all of these things regularly. :')

You are amazing, and I hope you got just as good a gift from your gifter as I did. <3
