I'm so excited! I haven't returned home from Christmas yet, but a couple of days ago my girlfriend called to tell me that my Secret Santa gift had arrived. I couldn't believe my eyes when she sent me these photos.

From the looks of it, it's a brown, corrugated cardboard box! It's roughly 1 banana wide, 1 1/2 banana long and 3/4 banana high. According to the label it weighs 778 gram, so I'm assuming santa have been weighing it down with rocks to give it a more sturdy feel. It's decorated with brown sellotape which gives a clean look that goes well with the overall appearance of the box. I'm no easy giftee since the only subreddits I frequent is r/Packaging and sometimes r/CondimentPoetry, so I'm happy to see that my santa went above and beyond to provide me with my perfect gift!

Unfortunately this is all I can make out of the pictures provided. I will update the review when I get the chance to see this amazing piece of packaging in person.

UPDATE: As you might have already guessed, I was wrong in my initial review of the gift. Upon closer inspection, I immediately noticed that the box was not brown. It was wrapped in brown paper. Tricky Santa! After disrobing it from its veil of deception i found... a brown box!



Also, my assumption that it was filled with rocks also turned out to be false. Instead of rocks, it contained:

A box of biscuits, or cakes? Definitely not a biscuit... but only for tax purposes.

A box of tea from the world renowned tea plantations of Yorkshire. A totally badass pixel-art Stormtrooper t-shirt which reminded me how fat I have gotten over Christmas. No regrets!

A post card from Santa's hometown with a really nice message.

A mystery item. I believe it's a penlight, but I'm not sure. It looks very cool and seem to be from the 1960's. Please, spread some LIGHT on what it is, reddit!

Finally, at the bottom of the box, Santa wished me a merry christmas and a happy new year in Swedish. You did an amazing job finding perfect gifts and I couldn't be happier. 10/10 would do it again.
