I came home to a box full of goodies from Philosophy. I was pretty sure I hadn't ordered anything from them YET so it was a very pleasant surprise to find a bottle of Philosophy Purity, a Hope in a Jar Ornament, and (OMG)samples. I very recently decided that Purity would be my go-to face wash during these winter months and have been using it daily ever since I was introduced to it. Santa just ensured that I'm set all through next winter. Thankyousoverymuch!

Shortly after I opened my present, THIS was in my inbox.

Derangedkoala,

Hi giftee! I'm glad you decided to participate in this year's gift exchange! To be honest I was a bit baffled when I went to stalk your profile for gift ideas since you didn't leave me any hints tisk tisk. Since I know pretty much nothing about makeup and beauty supplies, I went on a grand adventure to discover the wondrous mysteries they hold and to find you a gift. I hiked through great mountains of body butter and swam through wide rivers of lotion. I traveled through jungles made of eyeliner applicators where ferocious lipstick tigers tried to take a bite out of me. I trekked through a great desert of bath salts where powder foundation blew through the air constantly and only stopped when it rained down hair spray and perfume at night. I then entered the great Cosmetic Temple and fought Estée Lauder herself for three days and nights. At the end of the duel, when I emerged victorious, she offered me but one wish. With this wish I asked for a fitting present for my Reddit pal Derangedkoala and she gave me this box. I hope the contents are befitting to this great journey and that it brings you joy this holiday season.

Your pal in redditing, Slaidn

RedditSanta you did me proud. I hope your holiday is as awesome as mine. Thanks again!!
