This was my first gift exchange on Reddit and I was admittedly a little nervous about participating. As a moderator of /r/AnimalCrossing, I was terrified that I would end up being matched to someone who, to put it nicely, disagrees with the way I moderate. I was also of course concerned about the kind of people who had never played the game before or did little to make their gifts memorable or personalized...

Needless to say, I wasted my time worrying. TheRisingRed truly put an incredible amount of thought into my gift - a hilarious illustration of Phyllis that greeted me as the mailman passed my parcel over; a sweet, handwritten letter that truly made me smile; two illustrations that were left uncolored so that I might watercolor them myself - one of my OC Icee and one of me as a snooty rabbit per the form; and finally the pièce de résistance - an Animal Crossing pillow in my favorite color, welcoming me back home.

It immediately went straight to the "cozy corner" of my office, where, exactly as my secret Jingle predicted, I can truly be welcome home with a relaxing spot to curl up with my villagers and destress from a long day at work.

Thank you, therisingred, for putting so much thought and effort into my gift. You did an incredible job and have truly made this a memorable first exchange for me!
