Well, this is one of the most thoughtful and personal gifts I've ever received, and it came from an internet stranger.

Let's start with some backstory: I breed geckos (crested geckos, to be exact).

CUE INSURANCE JOKES.

As my reddit history is mostly me giving other people advice on how to care for their geckos, photos of my own geckos, and how much I like fossils, SPOILER: A lot. I like fossils a lot. I guess I'm tricky to buy for.

Well, my Santa went above and beyond by getting custom coasters of some of my gecko photos, and a tea mug with a trilobite.

Seriously though, how cool are trilobites?

It was so unexpected and thoughtful I'm having trouble articulating how much I appreciate it.

Thank you very much, mysterious Internet stranger.

I'll take any reason to drink and talk about lizards ;)
