This has been the best gift exchange so far for me!

Almost as soon as I had been matched, I received a mail from my Santa, asking if there was anything specific that I would like. I proceeded to rattle off a number of ideas thinking I may get one of them! I was more surprised when they said that they wanted to courier the package to me to make sure that I received it?! Due to the fact that I'm in South Africa, and my Santa is in the US, this was a huge bonus (and I knew would be a huge cost for my Santa), as our postal office can take quite some time to get things to you and sending delicious goodies in the mail means that there would be no certainty that they would ever get to me if any sticky fingers in our postal service saw just what was passing through their hands!

Well all worries were removed. My Santa confirmed that my treats would arrive via courier and I received them about a week after they were shipped. What an awesome Santa!

I received the following: Sour Patch Kids (I'm salivating just thinking about these!) Marshmallow Peeps (my sister has booked one of these already!?) Red Velvet Oreos (OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG) Beef Jerky Taco Seasons (YES! Taco Night) Jolly Rancher Chews Peanut Butter M&M's (if my father finds out about these I will be in trouble!) Peanut M&M's (and these!) Junior Mints Hot Tamales Jolly Ranchers (my mother has attempted to claim this entire packet as her own!?)

Wow wow wow! That's like 2kg's of American Goodies! My Santa even included a hand written note explaining everything that I had been gifted, which was a very nice touch!

I just want to say a special thank you again to my Santa. I know you spent a lot on shipping for me and you really embraced the spirit of the exchange and motivated me to try and go further with my exchanges in the future. Now that I know who you are and snooped a bit at the investigation you did to try find things that I would like I'm even more amazed. Thank you again and again and again!
