I was completely blown away by my secret santa. He put so much thought and generosity in to it, I kept getting parcels day after day. He managed to cover all my main interests, it's a fantastic selection of gifts:

A lego Star Wars blanket.

A kilo of cashew nuts.

A box of sleight of hand magic tricks.

A framed Westworld promo poster with signatures.

Star Wars joke book.

Star Wars diary (the photo doesn't do it justice, it's embossed with the Milllenium Falcon).

The Where's Wookie book :).

Making of Lord of The Rings book.

Boba Fett T-shirt.

Big Lebowski T-shirt.

Two Coding shirts (I'm a front end dev).

A "really useless box" that I need to figure out how to assemble. You turn it on and a finger comes out and turns it off again.

A nice bit of old vinyl that was a welcome new discovery.

And a lovely map of Middle Earth which I'm currently getting framed. Printed on parchment paper, it's beautiful.

I've had a really tough year. I was hospitalised in May for a month and nearly paralysed by Transverse Myeltis. Lost my job, lost my home and had to move back with my parents. It's been very difficult.

This secret santa exchange looked like a really nice idea and I signed up as I thought it would be a nice way to end the year with a little gift from someone elsewhere on the globe. I was completely gobsmacked by this collection, it was like an avalanche of perfect gifts and really unexpected. There was clearly a hell of a lot of thought put into it and the generosity he's shown is amazing. I think this santa is a candidate for "Best Santa 2016" :)

Thank you so much Secret Santa you have really made my year!
