This is my first time and first exchange on redditgifts, so I didn't know exactly what to expect, but loved the idea of random internet strangers doing nice things for other random internet strangers. However, I was fully not prepared for the level of awesomeness of this experience.

First, my Santa sent me a sweet message earlier in the week to reassure me that I wasn't forgotten and they would have my gift put together and shipped soon. It made me smile and inspired me to send a similar note to my giftee. So, thank you for showing me the ways of the reddit gifting community :-)

One of the things I mentioned in my info questionnaire was that I was an east coast transplant originally from Oregon, that I love my home state and miss the pacific northwest terribly. When I got the tracking number for the package I could hardly contain my excitement at discovering that it was shipping FROM OREGON!!! This was pure serendipity but it just made my heart sing for all those silly warm fuzzy reasons.

Thank you, Santa, for a fabulous package of goodies! Your gift(s!) were 110% spot on, and felt like a giant warm hug from home. Know that you have added immeasurable amounts of cheer to a season when homesickness is especially acute, and that some wandering Oregonian out there is thinking of you and smiling every time they make coffee. <3 <3 <3
