Just received my gift for the Nail Polish Secret Santa and I am so happy about this that I am tearing up.

About two months ago, my husband realized he is transgender. Since then, we have been trying to explore femininity together to figure out things that he (sticking with he for this since we haven't changed pronouns yet) likes and dislikes while he is preparing to transition into Natalie. It's very exciting! One of the things we have found that he really likes is painting his fingernails and toes. He absolutely loves doing it even though he has just started learning. Being able to paint his nails makes him extremely happy...even when he can't keep it on his nails and makes a mess on his hands sometimes. XD

When the exchanges for this batch were announced, my husband saw nail polish and was curious about it. He told me he wish he could participate himself, but he was afraid no one would want to give him anything because he is trans. I have really liked doing exchanges so far and decided to participate in this one since I really like trying to find gifts for people and making people happy. I have definitely caught the Secret Santa bug! :P Instead of wanting to receive something for myself for this one, I asked my Santa to get something nice for my husband. I thought being able to surprise him with something like this would help support him and brighten up his day. I must admit I was worried about how things would turn out. I remembered seeing a card in the holiday card gallery where someone received something mean due to being an atheist, and I was a bit concerned that something like that could happen to me. I noticed my Santa shipped it quite fast and I was really excited to see how this would go.

Canada Post ended up delivering the package at the same time my husband came home from work today, and he ended up getting the package for me. I knew it had to be my Secret Santa and I ripped it open to find the card. I opened it and immediately noticed it said Natalie. As I read the rest, I started to tear up. My husband asked me what it was and I gave the card to him and said it was for him. He looked at it, and had a big smile on his face. Then we looked at the rest of the package with the three nail polishes: a top coat, a dark blue gel, and a dark red/purple sparkle gel. He was so happy!!! :D He has really liked the gel kinds of nail polish so far, and he's looking forward to being able to paint his nails with them soon!

Thank you so much Santa! Your gift was able to make my husband incredibly happy as well as myself. I really can't thank you enough.
