This is the most excited I've been opening gifts in a very long time, and I have to say, I was not disappointed in the slightest!

First of all, the package arrived 4 days earlier than expected based on the tracking, so Christmas really did come early! I managed to contain my excitement long enough to get to my mailbox and back, but there was no way I was going to hold off opening this box until Christmas day. I will try to contain my feelings about my findings until after cataloguing what I received: 1 copy of Fragile Things by Niel Gaiman(+ a cute magnetic bookmark), 1 colour changing Chameleon Rubik's Cube, 1 pack of maple marshmallows, 2 DnD miniatures, 1 pdf DnD book(+ a handwritten note!), 1 double sided DnD encounter mat.

Now for my opinion on all of the above SPOILERS AHEAD!!

I LOVE ALL OF IT!!! Everything was individually wrapped and extremely thoughtful. I hardly know where to start everything was so great, so I'll start with what I opened first.

Niel Gaiman is a fantastic author and I've enjoyed many of his books in the past, though I haven't read Fragile Things, which makes it a fantastic gift! I'm very happy with my Secret Santa's pick, and I'm excited to get started on the novel.

After stopping to read the first couple pages of the novel, I opened up the colour changing Rubiks's cube. Now I already know how to do the Rubik's cube, which honestly makes this gift even more fun, as the colour changing aspect of it will add quite a bit of fun to the mix.

Next up is the pack of maple marshmallows...I mean I love maple and I love marshmallows so this is definitely a win!

Once I was done admiring the Marshmallows I moved on to the next set of packages, and to my delight (and to my players despair I'm sure) they were all perfect for a dungeon master! First came the two packs of miniatures, and I have to say these may be the best timed out of all of the gifts as I just took up mini painting a month ago. I am going to have a blast painting these and an even better time using them to torment my intrepid adventurers! Next was the letter explaining the USB with a DM's favourite thing waiting inside: A book full of monsters!! The Book of Beautiful Horrors (by u/Regerem I believe) looks to be a wonderful and terrifying addition to my current campaign. Finally came the 2 sided dungeon mat. I will most definitely be using it, especially given the fact that it's compatible with wet and dry erase markers! In fact, I look forward to using all of these DnD gifts at the same time at some point in the future(I'll have to paint the minis and wait for my players to find themselves somewhere with a couple flesh golems roaming around... but it's definitely possible!).

Ok I'm going to close this off by saying I really hope I got spoiler tags right for once, otherwise this is going to look really dumb. Oh and also a massive thanks to my Secret Santa, I appreciate all the effort and thoughtfulness that went into these gifts(my DnD group and I are sure to have a ton of fun with all of these gifts), and I hope your Secret Santa is just as awesome as you are!! I hope I didn't take too many pictures(or use too many exclamation points), and thanks again!!!
