For full disclosure, this was my first time doing this and I inadvertently got re-matched due to late pulling of information and shipping from my OG Santa. Before I thank my re-match Santa, I am signing up to do re-matches myself as a thank you to this awesome community!

THANK YOU, SANTA! I am sincerely overwhelmed by the generosity, thoughtfulness, and kindness of a perfect stranger. I wrote in my profile that I am heading out West to hit National Parks in a camper van in the spring. If I received that information, I would have a hard time thinking outside of the box, but my re-match Santa had no problem doing that.

I was gifted: a -A neck massage tool with the explanation that I could probably use this after 10 days in a van (true!). -The fluffiest, most snuggliest blanket in a beautiful color which will be great for the cold nights on the road. -A fa la la llama mug which is hilarious because I can't wait to sip out of it whilst wearing my fa la la llama sweatshirt that I already had! -Who knew air fresheners came in adorable VW vans? In addition to that, I got some lavender to keep everything fresh. -Some snacks for the road (I can't promise these will make it on the trip... as you can see, the peppermint bark didn't make it in the other pictures...).

Most importantly, the best gift was the feeling of my heart being full. It may not seem like a big deal, but so often we try to gift items that we like for the other person instead of thinking about what the recipient would like and be useful.

I would pick my re-match Santa for every exchange in the future if I could. This person has made me want to gift the best things I can in hopes other will feel like I do and want to pay it forward to their next gift.
