This was the first time I'd ever gotten a match that so perfectly understood me. I have never been brought to tears by a reddit gift before, and I don't know that I ever will again.

As soon as matches went out, my Secret Santa took the time to send me a message telling me how excited she was to have me as her match. Even though I've always sent that kind of message, I'd never received one. I was stunned and in excitement that my Santa actually messaged me, but to have so much in common with me?! It was magic.

When my Santa posted her gifts to me so soon, I was so surprised. When they arrived a few days later, I was even more surprised!

Two boxes the first day. Two boxes the next. I have never been so spoiled! I can't even explain how grateful I am to have received SO MUCH!! I am at a loss for words to even begin to try.

I opened the first packages the first day(wouldn't you?!) and was beyond happy. My tummy was not beyond happy that night when I had a gummy bear tummy-ache. But who cares. SO MANY GUMMY BEARS. Fox got to play with his new toy immediately(Diesel was off on a doggy adventure) and he LOVED it. A few minutes later, I got the second box, and was so in love. I'd been wanting a set of HotNails for FOREVER, but never had the money to buy them. My Santa read my mind! I immediately did my nails haha

The next day(today, ha.), I received the second set of packages. This included some seriously cool and delicious treats. The chocolates? To die for! THANK YOU for introducing those to me. I've almost demolished the strawberry box. I cannot wait to try those cookies! They look soooo gooooood!

But then. I opened my(totally unexpected) Birthday present. I cried like a little baby at how thoughtful and wonderful this gift was. I am of the thought that the smallest gifts are sometimes the most wonderful, and this was exactly that!!! I started a giraffe collection years and years ago, but I think that this little, wonderful, magic giraffe is going to be my favorite for years to come.

I cannot believe how thoughtful and intricate my gift from my wonderful Santa was. I feel so absolutely spoiled and loved and grateful for every single second that this wonderful person thought of me.

It's a dang good thing I got her return address!! (;
