So, i do not even know where to start.

This is was my first ever redditgifts exchange and didn't really know what to expect. I was lying in bed listening to my new puppy howling for me to wake up and the doorbell rings. 1-0 to Pup.....Postman delivered a package and little did I know this was my first ever gift exchange.

From the moment of opening the box I was greeted to a lovely message wishing me a very happy Merry 1/2 Christmas ( i like that) (ALOT) ....

Inside the box was SEVERAL very well wrapped presents. Inside each of these packages were custom very detailed notes explaining each gift to me. What an amazing gesture from you to take that time and explain the logic (I'm a scientist , logic and detail is kind of my thing :) )....

SO .. in chronological order of opening ..

I give you gift 1. a cute pink kitty teddy. Now I'm a 6ft Hairy Bearded Man so at first was confused and wondered if this was because of my cat allergies, HOWEVER my puppy Sebastian who is 10 Weeks Old instantly fell in love with this and now sleeps with it in his bed and has now came his favourite toy.... so thank you from him (photo attached)

Gift 2. Trinkets from Weymouth... Over the last year i spent ALOT of time on the south coast mainly around Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (and was due to move there) I would get the Liverpool to Euston then Waterloo-Weymouth train and never made it to the end of the line. I think a trip to your hometown is in order.

Gift 3. The mug .. Think like a proton and stay positive... this will be sat on my desk and used probably a little bit TOO much with all my Coffee i need through the day... and loved you using the chemical formula for sugar in your note (didnt even have to google this i swear ;) ....)

Gift 4. The Sweets... You got me gummy snakes....we are fam now... for real .. i love these.

Gift 5. Terry Pratchett - A Discworld Novel - Mort ......so i confess i have never read any Terry Pratchett and thank you so much for introducing to me to new world and series of books to entertain me .. I look forward to seeing what you saw in this book. P.s. Read "into the wild"... that book really gave me a lot of perspective on life !...theres also a really good film based on it.

Gift 6. This gift may be smallest but i loved it the most... Tranmere Rovers Keyring (probably the best football team in the world.... okay so maybe not but still) ... I just learned to drive a few months ago and my car key is constantly getting lost in my pockets as i have no key ring... you even went ahead done some research into who they were.... THANK YOU... this is a gem of a present .

Gift 7. Jeff Waynes musical version of The War of the Worlds the new generation... again I got my car a few months back and the radio broke.... I've been listening to maroon 5- songs about jane on repeat for months and as classic as that album is... to quote Maroon 5 "One more fucking love song, I'll be sick." This will definitely be going in my cd player for the next few months until i finally get around to sorting my radio.

Gift 8. The Skyrim T-shirt, i genuinely saw this a while back and wanted to buy it but they didnt have my size ! this fits perfect and yes i look like a total nerd.... I'm into it !!

Genuinely thank you, you're awesome and you didn't give me your username ... i know its secret santa but id like to thank you directly (plus I'm super new to reddit/redditgifts) so i don't know how to thank you directly ... i hope you see this and get in touch !!!

Happy Arbitrary Day 2017 !!
